Overview
At ACF, we strive to continually improve both the efficiency and effectiveness of our programs.
A critical tool in helping us do this is our monitoring and feedback mechanism.
Participation plays a crucial role in our monitoring system. And whilst we have developed internal processes to continuously track project performance, we also invite feedback from all our stakeholders through various forums and platforms.
Our output based monitoring system includes a set of qualitative and quantitative indicators, and we assess program progress - from output, to outcome, to final impact. The results help guide us in building strategy and scaling up programs.

We believe in collaboration. And over time, have been building a robust network of partners, organisations and experts who share our vision.
It is important to share our experiences from the field with these networks, gathered over 25 years, and also learn from other like-minded organisations and groups.
Our knowledge sharing platforms provide us with the opportunity to exchange ideas, find better ways to tackle problems and collaborate to amplify our impact.
