Our impact
Measuring progress with honesty and accountability
TUSIC seeks to understand not only what activities were completed, but whether they were relevant, responsibly delivered and meaningfully useful to the communities involved.
What impact means
Completed activities are important—but they are not the whole story
Counting meetings, distributions, participants or training sessions can show what an organization did. These figures do not automatically demonstrate that people’s circumstances improved.
Meaningful impact assessment asks whether activities addressed a verified priority, reached intended communities, were safely delivered and contributed to a useful change.
TUSIC aims to report results at the level supported by available evidence while clearly identifying limitations, incomplete information and lessons still being learned.
Current public reporting status
Verified impact results will be published after review
No public totals are displayed on this page until TUSIC has approved the underlying project records, calculation methods, reporting period and public-disclosure decision.
Our measurement framework
Following the path from resources to lasting change
The framework helps distinguish what TUSIC invests, delivers, observes and can reasonably claim based on available evidence.
Inputs
What we invest
Time, funding, knowledge, volunteers, organizational systems and approved relationships used to support an activity.
- Financial and material resources
- Staff and volunteer time
- Community and partner knowledge
Activities
What we do
The approved actions undertaken in response to an identified priority or program objective.
- Training and community sessions
- Information and referral support
- Humanitarian or development activities
Outputs
What was delivered
Direct and countable products or services generated by the activity during a defined reporting period.
- Completed activities
- Participants or households reached
- Resources or referrals provided
Outcomes
What changed
Changes in knowledge, access, behaviour, capacity, relationships or circumstances that evidence reasonably connects to the work.
- Improved knowledge or capability
- Increased access or participation
- Stronger community relationships
Long-term impact
What may endure
Broader or longer-term change influenced by many actors, conditions and events—not necessarily attributable to TUSIC alone.
- Community resilience
- Greater dignity and inclusion
- Foundations for peace and recovery
Areas of intended contribution
Understanding progress across our work
Each program area requires relevant measures. The indicators below describe what TUSIC may examine; they are not claims that these results have already been achieved.
Humanitarian response
Timeliness, relevance, safe access, referral completion and community satisfaction.
Human rights and justice
Rights awareness, safe participation, appropriate referrals and responsible advocacy.
Peacebuilding
Participation, trust, dialogue quality, relationship change and local ownership.
Community development
Skills, participation, local capacity, usefulness and sustainability.
TUSIC in Sudan
Local relevance, responsible coordination, risk management and accountable delivery.
Displacement support
Information access, referral usefulness, community connection and inclusion.
Evidence standards
Public claims should match the strength of the evidence
TUSIC should distinguish administrative records, participant feedback, observed changes and independently verified findings. Each source can support different conclusions.
View annual reportsDocumented
Supported by approved activity, attendance, financial, distribution or referral records.
Reported
Based on feedback or information provided by participants, communities or implementation partners.
Observed
Supported by an appropriate assessment of change using a defined method and reporting period.
Independently verified
Reviewed or validated by a suitably independent and competent party using disclosed criteria.
Responsible data
Measurement must not put people at risk
Collecting more data does not automatically produce better accountability. TUSIC should collect only information that has a defined purpose and can be handled safely.
Collect information for a clear and legitimate program purpose.
Avoid collecting personal details that are not necessary.
Limit access and protect information throughout its lifecycle.
Remove or withhold details that could identify or endanger people.
Community feedback
People affected by our work should help assess it
Community feedback can help TUSIC understand whether activities were relevant, accessible, respectful and useful—and whether anything should be changed.
Feedback should be voluntary, accessible and separated from retaliation or loss of assistance.
During an activity
Provide opportunities to raise concerns while changes can still be made.
After completion
Ask about relevance, experience, usefulness and unintended effects.
Complaints
Offer an appropriate way to report misconduct, exclusion or misuse of resources.
Organizational response
Review feedback, document decisions and communicate appropriate follow-up.
Responsible reporting
What every published result should explain
A number without context can mislead. TUSIC’s future public reporting should make the source, period, scope and limitations of each important result understandable.
What was measured?
Define the activity, participant, household, service, referral or outcome being counted.
When and where?
State the reporting period and geographic scope where safe and appropriate.
How was it verified?
Identify the record, feedback method, assessment or review supporting the result.
What are the limits?
Explain missing data, estimates, exclusions, uncertainty and attribution limitations.
