§ 01 — The translation problem
The social sector doesn't have a programme quality problem. It has a translation problem.
What funders see
Surface
Generic mission statements
Activity counts, not outcomes
Vague “empowerment” language
No clear theory of change
Missing credibility markers
What actually exists
Substance
Evidence-based interventions
Rigorous impact evaluation
Scalable programme models
Deep community relationships
Proven ten-year track records
§ 02 — The network model
You don't hire one consultant. You access a curated network.
