At OneVillage Partners, we know that when communities define what success looks like to them and have the tools to measure that success, projects and interventions are more effective and more sustainable – ultimately, the projects will continue to improve people’s lives for longer than if community members were not involved.

Three communities that have been working with OneVillage Partners since 2015, and have completed the Community Action and Nurturing Opportunities for Women programs, were evaluated through the lens of OneVillage Partners’ Theory of Change components: Inclusive Leadership, Gender Equity, Social Cohesion, Resiliency, and Wellbeing.

The OneVillage Partners NOW Coordinators are changing hearts and minds. They inspire women to dream bigger than they ever have before, and encourage men to understand to the benefits of an empowered woman. 

OneVillage Partners has a unique, participatory approach to development work, which deserves unique and participatory monitoring and evaluation.

Our Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning team developed two new surveys piloted in 2019 to provide data in new areas.
