WVUK’s mission statement is: To inspire the UK to take action that transforms the lives of the world’s poorest children. Identifying exactly what transformation has taken place and what our contribution has been is very challenging. But WVUK is committed to increasing its accountability and this entails transparency to donors, supporters, peer agencies and, vitally, the people from the communities in which we work with. This report is another step in WVUK’s journey towards greater accountability and transparency for the impact of WVUK supported activities. Its objectives are to: 1. Publicly disclose the impact our work (particularly activities in our three thematic areas of child health, child protection and humanitarian action) is having on the world’s poorest children and thus enhance our accountability to key stakeholders 2. Enhance our own learning to improve the quality of our programming so that in future our programmes and policy/advocacy work can contribute to even greater change for the world’s poorest children. In particular for this first public impact report we look to develop learning about how to measure and report impact. Oxford Policy Management Ltd was contracted to review the data collection and analysis methodology and to ensure third party verification of the findings of the report.
