Four Dimensions of Sustainable Change
Our impact framework links environmental, social, educational, and institutional outcomes across four interdependent spheres:
Nature
Land, water, biodiversity, ecosystem resilience. Safeguarding watersheds, recovering degraded soils, and bolstering living natural infrastructure.
People
Livelihoods, wellbeing, participation, dignity, and opportunity. Ensuring community members lead and thrive through ecological restoration.
Future
Learning, digital capability, leadership, intergenerational benefit. Empowering youth to build skills, enterprise, and confidence for what comes next.
Systems
Institutions, methodologies, partnerships, policy, long-term stewardship. Building the governance and institutional strength to make change hold.
Across all four: gender and inclusion, community rights and participation, safeguards and do-no-harm practice, local ownership, transparent evidence and a real habit of learning and adapting.
How we count our numbers
We use four labels consistently, so no one has to guess what a figure means:
Achieved Outcome
An achieved result, backed by an identified source and reporting period, with the verifier named where independent verification applies.
Endorsed Target
A formally endorsed future result, with a target date, baseline, owner, and a funded or defined delivery pathway.
Directional Scale
A directional aspiration that communicates scale without implying it's already committed or achieved.
Contextual Evidence
Evidence from another organisation or comparable model, shown for context. Never counted as OMEF impact.
Stories of Impact
Numbers give us scale. Stories teach us what that means. Our impact stories tell the stories of people as decision makers, practitioners, learners and leaders with real context, credit to the partners involved and care not to let one person stand in for an entire community.
Reporting and Accountability
As the programmes evolve, we will report simply and proportionately on progress against the agreed indicators, significant changes, the use of funds (where relevant), safeguarding and grievance information and what we have learned as we go along.
