Constitutional Governance
We adhere to a constitutional process of decision-making, ensuring objectivity and independence from external influences in all our actions and recommendations.
Risk Assessment
We recognize that evaluating the risks associated with interventions is fundamental to our role as independent evaluators.

By doing so, we aim to protect the integrity of the system, prevent dependency on external funding, and ensure that philanthropic endeavours align with ethical and sustainable practices.
