We have always known INF’s unique approach to Community Health and Development [CHD] was good. Now we have the results to prove it!
Our Monitoring and Evaluation Team recently conducted the most thorough analysis of our long-term impact in communities to date. And the results were fantastic.
It has been more than 15 years since INF began using its Group Action Process for community development. The model focuses on empowering communities to unite, form practical and sustainable solutions to their problems, advocate for their needs, utilise available resources and carry out activities for the betterment of their community.
In order to continue our work, INF partnered with local NGOs and Cooperatives and formed Local Partner Organisations [LPOs]. Upon visiting these organisations, we discovered:
- LPOs continue to focus their work on target groups of poor, marginalised,women and people with disabilities
- LPOs had carried out a number of activities in their communities, including: health education, road building, toilet building, drinking water schemes, disaster preparedness, school support, environmental awareness, capacity building and income generation training
- 90% had carried out advocacy within their local area on topics such as criminal justice, reconciliation, youth unemployment, and citizenship rights
- 100% had completed annual audits and managed funds responsibly and transparently
PRAY | GIVE | GO | SHARE – Please thank God and continue to pray for the community development work of INF and the CHD staff.
