Our Impact
Reporting on impact is a critical part of accountability, not
just to those who fund us, but also to the people we exist to
serve. Concern Universal is an organisation committed to the values
of partnership and integrity, and entrusted with responsibility for
utilising funds for particular purposes. We carefully track our
progress towards our strategic objectives of improving sustainable
livelihoods, health, the respect for rights, and skills, and
reducing vulnerability to disasters.
Concern Universal measures impact from three main sources: Concern
Universal voices (internal assessments and country level impact
reports); beneficiary voices (community impact tools); and
independent voices (externally-led evaluations). The organisational
impact report is published annually to inform all of our
stakeholders what we are doing how we can improve to enhance the
impact and quality of our work.
