How We Measure Change
For JDF, evidence is critical for any intervention. We leverage research and evidence to inform decisions and actions. Through advocacy, we educate, connect, amplify, and mobilise voices for policy change.
Our twin elements of research and advocacy help us to learn about our communities, the issues they face, and how we can work together to influence the conversation for policy change. We track progress across all six programme areas using community-defined indicators and independent evaluations.
