08 July 2026

Baseline scenario

The no-project situation must be documented to attribute changes to the intervention.

Activity data

Sources, units, responsibilities and quality controls are defined before startup.

Verifiability

Photos, registers, coordinates, invoices, technical readings or inventories may serve as evidence depending on methodology.

Co-benefits

Social and environmental outcomes also benefit from explicit indicators and collection methods.
