Proof & stories
Impact
Proof for funders and the public: every headline figure with a definition, a source and a date, stories in participants’ own words, and every programme SIA has run.
Where we are
The Road to 2031
These figures come straight from the Live Impact Dashboard, so they always match it.
What the figures mean
The definitions behind the headline figures
A figure without a definition can mean anything. These are the definitions SIA publishes with the four Road to 2031 figures. Capital mobilised is published with a definition once it is agreed.
People reached
People who took part in at least one SIA programme or event, since founding.
Microentrepreneurs trained
Microentrepreneurs who completed an SIA business training course.
Enterprises incubated
Enterprises that completed an SIA incubation or acceleration programme.
Incubation hubs
Physical hubs run by SIA or with a host university: Quetta and Loralai.
How we report
Four rules behind every figure
Funders, partners and participants should see the same figure wherever they look. These rules make sure they do.
One number, everywhere
Each figure is stored once. The website, proposals and reports all use the same number.
A definition for every figure
Each figure says exactly what is counted. No definition, no publication.
A source and a date
Each figure names where it comes from and when it was last updated.
Updated every quarter
Figures are refreshed quarterly. The Strategic Plan commits to independent mid-term and end-line evaluations.
Stories of change
What changed, programme by programme
Results behind the headline figures, from SIA’s published programmes.
Questions
About our figures
How often are the figures updated?
Every quarter. Each figure shows its “as of” date.
Can I see figures by district, gender or programme?
Breakdowns switch on when the MEL database is connected in Phase 2. Until then every figure is a published total.
Where are the evaluations?
The Strategic Plan commits to mid-term and end-line evaluations. They will be on Reports & evaluations when published.
Can I use SIA figures in my own work?
Yes. Use the figure with its definition and its date, and link to the Live Impact Dashboard.
Using SIA figures in a proposal or an article?
Use the figure with its definition and its “as of” date, and link to the dashboard so readers can check it.
