Livelihoods and local businesses
Support operational capabilities, market access and technology adoption suited to available resources.
Connect resources
Bring experts, businesses, universities and support organizations together around shared goals.
Connect resources.
Open opportunities for people in vulnerable situations.

Learn and take ownership of methods
Design training, mentoring and practical support suited to participants' context, access needs and priorities.
Access economic opportunities
Connect resources for livelihoods, business capabilities and market access based on communities' real needs.
Participate in the design
Listen to those receiving support, respect local identity and knowledge, and choose appropriate approaches together.
Support that enables continued progress
Work with partners so participants gain the capabilities and resources to continue developing after the program.
This direction draws on the principle of “Leaving no one behind” in the 2030 Agenda. It describes NVI's intended collaboration; specific programs depend on the resources and commitments of participating parties.
Measurement and transparencyImpact needs
Impact needs
evidence.
Assess results against the challenge and scope of intervention. Publish results only when they have been verified and their use is authorized.
| Intended value | Possible indicators | How to verify |
|---|---|---|
| Organizational performance | Processing time, error rates, productivity and operating costs | Compare before and after using the same measurement method |
| People's capabilities | Ability to apply learning, ownership of processes and practical results | Assess starting and ending capabilities and follow up after support |
| Community opportunities | Access, continued participation and livelihood changes within the program's scope | Program records, feedback and verification with participants |
| Resource use | Materials, energy, water or waste where directly relevant | Measured data, with scope and limitations stated clearly |
Clear roles, resources and results
Each program needs to identify its implementing organization, partners, participants and monitoring responsibilities. Team members' experience at other organizations is attributed to the relevant roles and organizations, and distinguished from results delivered directly by NVI.
Our reference framework
Consider value across multiple dimensions.
NVI's direction draws on the economic, social and environmental dimensions of the United Nations 2030 Agenda and the principle of leaving no one behind. For each project, NVI selects goals and indicators suited to its needs, resources and scope.
