LowInvestor Impact Field impact verification
Field impact verification and measurement in Africa: site visits, photos and videos, testimonies. For funders who must evidence the impact of a financing, and for companies that want to know their impact and reputation in their ecosystem.
The problem
The impact targets of a financing (jobs created, beneficiaries reached, infrastructure delivered) usually rest on what the project holder reports. Reports come in, indicators are filled, but nobody has seen the results.
The same goes for companies: how clients, suppliers and local communities perceive them, and their real place in the ecosystem, are hard to measure from a head office. Remote surveys collect opinions; they don't show what exists.
What sets us apart
A complement to your monitoring and evaluation teams and consultancies: we bring the field evidence they lack.
What you receive
For each impact target: met, partly met or not met, with what was observed.
Dated and geolocated photos and videos of results, sites and activities.
The voice of beneficiaries, clients, partners and local stakeholders.
How the company or project is perceived locally, and its place in its ecosystem.
Facts separated from analysis, with a confidence level for each conclusion.
The gaps found and the points to fix or monitor.
How it works
You share the impact targets or questions to answer, and the scope (projects, sites, groups).
We define what must be seen, who to meet and which evidence to collect.
Our local network goes on site: visits, photos and videos, interviews and testimonies.
You receive the findings, the evidence and recommendations, with an explicit confidence level.
Who it is for
Funders, programmes and companies operating in Africa.
Verify the impact commitments of a financing before a disbursement or a report.
Monitor a programme on the ground and document its results.
Check the real impact of a portfolio company.
Measure their impact and reputation among clients, suppliers and local communities.
Why us
Remote impact measurement tells you what people say. LowInvestor goes to see what exists: our local network visits the sites, meets beneficiaries and stakeholders, and brings back evidence your teams can show.
North Africa · West Africa · Sahel
Going on site to check whether the reported results of a project or company exist: visits to the results, photos and videos, interviews with beneficiaries and local stakeholders. It is also known as third-party monitoring (TPM).
A survey, often by phone, collects what people perceive. We add what can be observed: results, sites and activities, documented with visual evidence. The two approaches complement each other.
Yes. We collect on site how the company is perceived by its clients, suppliers, communities and local stakeholders, and describe its place in its ecosystem.
Primarily North and West Africa and the Sahel, where our network is densest: Mauritania, Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea, the Maghreb.
A 30-minute call to understand the targets to verify and the scope, then a tailored proposal. A first case lets you judge the method for yourself.
Let's discuss the targets to verify and the field concerned. We will propose a first assignment so you can judge for yourself.
