Our reporting process
From your spreadsheets and ministry template to a document your steering committee can read without a walk-through — mapped to review calendars, not arbitrary sprint lengths.
-
Intake and template alignment
You provide the national or donor template, indicator list, prior approved report, and any formal returns or reviewer notes from the last cycle. We schedule a 45-minute call to confirm submission date, internal circulation needs, and who signs off on figures.
-
Figure reconciliation
Before design work, we trace ward and district totals to source sheets. We send a gap list to your data staff — missing wards, label mismatches, percentage bases — and wait for confirmation or correction. This step prevents layout rework.
-
Structure and narrative draft
Tables and charts are built to ministry conventions: consistent decimal places, footnote numbering, chart titles that state the indicator and period. Variance sections explain what changed, why, and what the program will do next quarter — in language non-specialists use in meetings.
-
Internal circulation draft
You receive a PDF draft for your office and optionally district partners. We allow five business days for consolidated comments unless your calendar requires compression.
-
Revision and final delivery
One structured revision round is included. We deliver print-ready PDF, optional slide extract for briefing rooms, and a change log listing figure updates from draft to final.
What we need from you
- Source spreadsheets with ward-level data, clearly versioned
- Template file or PDF with section order requirements
- List of indicators and calculation notes from your M&E staff
- Named contact for figure confirmation within 48 hours when we send gap lists
