Find Out MoreFRIDA is constantly strengthening its monitoring, evaluation, and learning systems and we strive to use participatory methods to collect and understand different kinds of data—both numbers and stories. Over the past year, we have invested in tools such as Impact Mapper and our own database systems. Grantee partners themselves self-identify the population and thematic categories as well as the areas of change that describe their work. This raw data is used to produce all the charts in this report. We will continue to develop and improve our methods—so we can collect and share analyses in real time!
Groups worked on a wide range of thematic areas. Check out the primary and secondary issues that matter most to them in their work:
Grantee Primary Thematic Areas
Grantee Secondary Thematic Areas
