Accountability
Real change. Real numbers.
MIWA measures its impact by the communities we reach, the people we serve, and the outcomes that last beyond our presence. These figures are reviewed by our board and updated as programmes develop.

Our methodology
How we measure what matters
MIWA uses a community-first monitoring approach: programme outcomes are tracked against targets set with community partners before activities begin, not after. Each programme maintains baseline and endline data, with progress reviewed at quarterly board meetings.
We measure inputs (funds disbursed, volunteers deployed), outputs (students supported, clinics run, cooperatives formed), and wherever possible, longer-term outcomes — whether students stay in school, whether health knowledge is retained, whether cooperatives remain active a year on.
Transparency is non-negotiable. Every cedi given to MIWA is tracked and reported to our board and to our donors. We are committed to publishing our programme reports publicly and inviting scrutiny.
