Wings of Aid & Peace (WAP) seeks to ensure that its humanitarian work contributes to meaningful results for people and communities affected by crisis. We approach impact through responsible programme design, monitoring, evaluation, accountability and learning, with attention to both what our activities deliver and the changes they are intended to support.
Impact information published by WAP should be based on verified evidence and presented accurately, transparently and in context.
Actions carried out through a project or programme.
Direct products, services or deliverables resulting from project activities.
Changes that may occur as a result of programme outputs and other contributing factors.
Broader or longer-term changes to which programmes may contribute. WAP should not describe an activity or output as impact unless the evidence supports that conclusion.
Results published on the WAP website should be supported by appropriate programme evidence.
Depending on the programme, verified results may include:
Results should identify the relevant reporting period and programme or project where appropriate. No unsupported estimates should be presented as verified WAP achievements.
WAP seeks to distinguish between what a project intends to achieve and what has actually been achieved.
A planned level of achievement established before or during implementation.
A result supported by verified implementation and monitoring information.Public reporting should not present targets as completed results.
Where appropriate, reporting may show:
Where WAP publishes the number of people reached through its programmes, figures should be based on appropriate records and verification. Reporting should consider potential duplication where the same person receives more than one service or participates in multiple activities. Where figures represent:
WAP seeks to integrate Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning into programme planning and implementation. MEAL helps the organization understand programme progress, assess results, listen to communities, identify challenges and improve future action.
Monitoring helps WAP understand whether activities are being implemented as planned and whether programmes are progressing toward intended results.
Monitoring may examine:
Evaluations can help WAP assess the relevance, effectiveness and results of humanitarian interventions and identify lessons for future work.
Depending on the project and available resources, evaluation approaches may include:
Approved evaluation findings may be published through the Resource Library where appropriate.
WAP recognizes that affected people and communities have knowledge, experience, priorities and capacities that can strengthen humanitarian programmes.
Where appropriate, communities may participate in:
People affected by humanitarian programmes should have appropriate opportunities to receive information, participate, provide feedback and raise concerns.
WAP seeks to strengthen accountability through:
Community feedback can help identify both positive results and areas requiring improvement.
Reliable reporting depends on appropriate data quality. WAP seeks to strengthen data quality through measures appropriate to programme scale and risk.
These may include:
Collecting programme information creates responsibilities. WAP seeks to ensure that programme data is collected and managed appropriately, with particular attention to privacy, confidentiality, safeguarding and protection risks.
Public impact reporting should not unnecessarily disclose:
Transparency should not come at the expense of people's safety, dignity or privacy.
Learning helps WAP use experience and evidence to improve programme quality and organizational practice.
Learning may come from:
Lessons should inform future programme design, operational decisions and institutional development where relevant.
Humanitarian environments can change rapidly. Programme assumptions, needs, access conditions and risks may evolve during implementation. WAP seeks to use appropriate evidence to adapt programmes when necessary.
Material changes should follow appropriate internal approval and donor or partner requirements where applicable.
Verified results may be presented across WAP programme areas, including:
Programme impact information should be displayed only where verified data is available.
Project pages may display verified results related to the specific intervention.
Project results should remain connected to the project and reporting period from which they were generated.
Human stories can help explain how humanitarian crises and programmes affect people’s lives.
Stories should complement, rather than replace, evidence.
WAP seeks to ensure that stories are:
Only resources approved for public access should be published.
As WAP's programmes develop, this section may present selected verified organizational or programme metrics.
Possible indicators may include:
WAP seeks to report results in a way that is:
We seek to communicate not only achievements, but also relevant learning and areas where programmes can improve.
WAP seeks to understand the difference its work makes through responsible monitoring, community engagement, evaluation and learning. As our programmes and projects develop, this section will present verified results and approved evidence from our humanitarian work.
