Our Impact

We can say we keep children healthy, educated, skilled and safe. We can talk about how we keep them safe at home, on the street, in school and online, or that we work with families to create the conditions their children need to thrive from birth to young adulthood. But how we help children experience these outcomes depends on our program results, and how we measure those results matters. Dive into the results we’re capturing through global monitoring and evaluation.

How We Define “Impact”

We validate our impact with children and families in Africa, Asia and the Americas in four important ways:

1. Our global monitoring of key indicators and our programming evidence.
2. Feedback from our children, families and partners on the difference our programs make in their lives and communities.
3. How well we apply learning about what works well or not to strengthen our strategies and approaches.
4. How we contribute toward global, collective outcomes for children and families — the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Our work contributes toward 12 of the 17 SDGs:

Our Focus

We measure key indicators within five results categories to assess our progress toward the outcomes we aim for. Here's what some of our initiatives in these areas look like.
