Results

People know best how to support their own family. By offering them a cash+ program that consists of temporary cash support and (financial) training in small savings groups, approximately 70% of the participants in our program were able to lift their families out of extreme poverty for good, as measured by the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI).

We record 60+ indicators for each participant, including those that make up the MPI, during the entire program and again one year after the program has ended. We have started to measure income as well in order to specifically determine the 100WEEKS's program effective contribution to bridging the gap to a living income.

More impressive results

But 100WEEKS does more. As people lift themselves out of poverty, they strengthen entire communities in their process. School attendance rises in their families, child trafficking decreases and nutrition improves.

School attendance in program families is almost 100%
An economic multiplier effect means that every euro transferred creates € 2.60 worth of value in the local community.
The number of meals consumed daily grows from 1.6 to 2.8 on average.

Long-lasting impact

To determine the level of lasting impact, 100WEEKS continues to monitor and collect data on the participants progress even after the 100WEEKS program ends. One of our first groups of participants graduated from the program in 2017 and an in-house study conducted two years later has shown that participants were still far better off than they were before the program.

Access to clean drinking water

Before program: 45%
After program: 76%
Two years after the program: 80%

Always enough food (self-reported)

Before program: 21%
After program: 62%
One year after the program: 71%

Monitoring & evaluation

Data-monitoring dashboard

How we measure results

We continuously monitor the effectiveness of our program through phone surveys carried out by local pop-up call centers.

Using state-of the art software provided by Nebu, our operators are able to feed responses directly into a central repository which is linked to our central SQL-database through Nebu’s API, allowing for easy visualization and analysis of all data gathered.

CAPI & CATI

In addition to these phone surveys, we conduct more extensive face-to-face interviews with each participant before and after the program. Together, the data gathered through these CAPI (Computer-Assisted Personal Interviews) and CATI (Computer-Assisted Telephone Interviews) survey rounds form the backbone of 100WEEKS' Monitoring and Evaluation ecosystem. This method is cost-effective and provides us with a steady flow of fresh insights from the field.

Communicating the results

We relay the results of our surveys directly to our donors. They have unparalleled insight into the impact of their donations.
