Anganwadi CSR Impact & ROI Reporting Framework

Common questions

How do you measure the ROI of a Smart Anganwadi project?

Before launch, the partner and implementation team agree the theory of change, indicator definitions, reporting period and baseline method. Project reporting can then calculate cost per centre, cost per verified child reached, delivery completion, attendance trends, FLN or school-readiness change and Karyakarta participation using the records actually available for that project.

What kind of outcomes can partners expect?

Outcomes are not pre-promised. Targets are set after the site assessment and baseline, and results are reported for the defined project period. Depending on scope and data availability, partners may monitor centre readiness, material use, attendance or participation, FLN change, Karyakarta training and health or nutrition record completeness.

Is the impact data audit-ready for CSR reporting?

Evidence packs can be structured for partner and auditor review with indicator definitions, source records, dates, photographs, calculations and known limitations. The partner and its appointed auditor remain responsible for deciding whether the evidence satisfies statutory, assurance or internal reporting requirements.

How soon do outcomes become visible?

Delivery outputs can be checked at handover. Attendance, behaviour and learning indicators need a defined observation period and are reported only at agreed milestones against the baseline or another documented comparison method.
