Impact Assessment Reports
Impact Assessment Reports
Evidence that informs action and strengthens trust.
Maji na Ufanisi publishes baseline studies, climate resilience research, school WASH assessments, advocacy reports, and annual accounts so communities, funders, governments, and partners can see how evidence shapes better decisions.
Research that serves communities
From lived realities to stronger programmes.
Good development decisions begin with a clear understanding of people, place, infrastructure, risk, and opportunity.
These reports help Maji na Ufanisi and its partners identify priority needs, test assumptions, assess results, strengthen accountability, and improve the design of future water, sanitation, climate resilience, and community development initiatives.
Evidence does more than describe a problem. It helps communities and partners decide what to do next, where to invest, and how to create change that lasts.
