Our impact

Proof, not promises.

The FCA publishes what it measures. Here is what the Alliance and its local partners delivered in and around Kolwezi, and how we know.

Monitoring & evaluation

How we know it is real.

Impact at the FCA is not asserted, it is measured. A monitoring and evaluation framework built on "result chains" links each activity to the change it is meant to produce, so progress can be tracked rather than assumed.

At the flagship Kamilombe site, an annual perception survey asks miners themselves what is changing. The baseline datasets and questionnaires are published openly, so anyone can scrutinise the method and the numbers.

Full implementation at a mine site takes three to five years. The figures here are a snapshot of a long programme, reported in the FCA's annual Impact and Finance Reports.
