PAGE 5 REVIEWING FOR GRowfH For a number of years we have wanted to invesc in our Monicoring and Evaluation capabilities in order to be able to show the true impact of our work as a Network. Thanks to a grant from the Vitol Foundation we have been able to make huge strides forward in this during this year. During this year we undertook a major survey of our membership to provide some baseline data on our members, who are our primary beneficiaries, and how they engage with and perceive Arukah Network. Evaluating rhis data with the help of a consultanL gave us incredible insight and helped us create a vision for the future of the Network. In light of this data and a vision for a growing global network which sees the health and wellbeing of communities around the world continually improving, we put together a new Theory of Change. As we move into 22-23 we are seeing this Theory of Change impact all levels of our work.

GE6 SAME PASSION NEW THEORY OF CHANGE We believe every community has the gifts and skills it needs to improve the health and wellbeing of all its members. We know local leaders care about their communiiies and want to improve health and wellbeing. IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF COMMUNITIES TOGETHER However, local leaders in vulnerable communities are often working in isolation and have minimal resources. Also, in a world of fake news, the best evidence based ways of working often don't reach the community level. Together these factors make it very hard to create sustainable change in health and wellbeing at a communiiy level. OUR VISION is to see health and wellbeing in communities around the world continually improving. OUR MISSION Is to be a global network which CONNECTS and SUPPORTS local leaders who are working to improve the health and wellbelng of their own communities We are a global network formed of individual members HOW WE WOR Clusters connect local leaders together united either by a geographical location or a s Webinars, coaching and a range of online resources provide global connection, opportunities for developme SALT visits to other members ed and facilitated in are are encoura

GE8 STORIES OF SUPPORT As a Network, a huge part of our work is supporting our Clusters to impact their communities. This year we have continued to support our Clusters and their members. We have also begun to develop relationships with possible new Clusrers. Here are rwo small but significant examples of our work this year. GROWING GOVERNANCE While we don't place any restriction on the kind of organisational structure our Clusters take, we recommend that they have certain structures in place. We recommend. for example. that they have a leadership group (which includes a chair, a secretary and a treasurer), a bank account and a constitution. Our Support Team have been working closely with our Clusters in Zambia to put governance structures in place which can help them impact their community. Without a constitution or a bank account it is almost impossible to apply for any funding, wherever in the world you are. Our Chabbs Cluster now has a bank account and a constitution, and are in rhe process of becoming registered with the Zambian Government. As a resulc they should soon be receiving funding to start a goat farming project to support vulnerable families in rheir community. SEED FUNDING FOR TEEN MOTHERS Our Seed Fund provided the opportunity for our Clusters to access small grants to kick start a project which could have a major impact on their community. Our Rwanda Cluster received a small grant to purchase pigs and build an area to rear them in. Teen mothers are being trained to rear these pigs and are being given piglets to rear for themselves. This project is giving the young women new skills and an opporcunity for a sustainable income source for their families. The Cluster hope that this project will in time provide skills and income for l 00 teen mothers in the country.
