Sahyog Foundation, a Section 8 company, wants to show donors that its SDG claims are credible. It has recorded outputs such as 500 women trained. Which step best demonstrates progress toward the SDG, as opposed to merely reporting activity?
The foundation should measure outcome changes, such as increased incomes of trained women, against a baseline and SDG indicators. Counting sessions or trainees records only outputs, while donor lists and logos show nothing about actual progress toward the goal.
