OUR IMPACT

Impact that can be seen,
learned from and improved.

We aim to turn programmes into measurable outcomes and learning that can inform future action — across primary health, TB, maternal and child health, NCDs, nutrition, water and inclusion.

Our impact framework

From activities to outcomes.

Karucan tracks more than the number of activities completed. We are interested in whether people gain access, knowledge, confidence, services and opportunities — and whether those changes can be sustained.

01

Reach

Who is accessing our programmes? Demographic and geographic inclusion.

02

Quality

Are services relevant, safe and useful to the people served?

03

Outcome

What changed for people and communities in knowledge, practice or wellbeing?

04

Learning

What should change in the next design cycle based on evidence?

Reach in practice

Where Karucan works.

Programmes are anchored in the Rwenzori Sub-region of Uganda and connect to district and regional referral hospitals. Karucan supports:

  • Private health facilities — TB screening and diagnostic quality
  • Workplace & satellite clinics — fishing landings, mines, prisons
  • Cross-border outreach at the Kasese / DRC Congo border
  • Community-own resource persons for referral and follow-up
  • Mobile-phone tools for case reporting and adherence support

What we measure

Evidence for better decisions.

Across each programme area, Karucan focuses on three core measurement themes.

◉

People reached

Participant reach, demographic inclusion and geographic coverage — focused on service gaps not headline numbers.

@

Service access

Referrals made, health information accessed, training completions and service linkage across our programmes.

+

Community outcomes

Changes in knowledge, practices, opportunity and resilience — wherever the evidence is available to measure.
