What MERM and ESG mean

MERM refers to monitoring, evaluation, research and measurement. ESG refers to environmental, social and governance considerations. AfriTrace aims to connect reporting with the records behind it.

Evidence before headline numbers

Useful impact reporting identifies the measure, period, source, method and limitations. Recorded activity is not automatically proof of an outcome or causal impact.

People and context

Community participation, consent and appropriate access matter when collecting or sharing programme evidence.
