Our measurement approach

Evidence before numbers

YIFO is committed to measuring what its programs actually achieve. We publish figures only when they are supported by activity records, monitoring data, participant feedback, or other appropriate evidence.

What we learn from

Impact is more than a number

YIFO combines quantitative monitoring with stories, participant feedback, lessons learned, and qualitative evidence.

Reach

Who participates in YIFO activities and who benefits from them.

Knowledge & skills

Changes in practical knowledge, skills, confidence, and leadership.

Livelihoods

Evidence of enterprise development, agricultural activity, income pathways, and resilience.

Community resilience

Changes that strengthen community capacity, participation, and local problem-solving.

Environmental stewardship

Evidence related to sustainable agriculture, natural resource management, and climate awareness.

Learning

Lessons that help YIFO and its partners improve implementation and future programming.

Community voices

What participants say about YIFO's work

First-hand experiences help show what changed, what was useful, and what YIFO should improve. We publish testimonials only when the words are genuine and the participant has agreed to their use.

Trust matters: YIFO will not invent endorsements, attribute comments without permission, or present promotional language as participant feedback. Names, photographs, roles, and locations will be shown only with appropriate consent.

Verified participant voices are being collected

As YIFO documents trainings, community activities, Youth Opportunities support, and future agriculture programs, approved participant quotes will be added here together with enough context to explain the activity behind each experience.

Accountability

Transparent reporting

YIFO maintains clear records of activities and results and distinguishes between planned, implemented, and verified achievements. Reports and public impact updates will be added as programs generate evidence.

Impact stories

Stories from the work

Beyond short testimonials, YIFO will publish verified stories from young people, farmers, communities, and partners when documented activities provide a meaningful story to share.
