Tracking impact with the Field Partner Health Check

March 17, 2026 | News

When it comes to investing in long-term, systemic change within International Development, it’s essential to understand what impact our efforts and initiatives are having. At Give Freedom International, we are committed to ensuring that every dollar entrusted to us is making a lasting difference. Human trafficking is a complex challenge, and meaningful change requires more than passion–it requires evidence, accountability, and learning.

This year we’ve taken steps to strengthen our Field Partnership, and Measurement and Evaluation practices by welcoming a dedicated Program Manager. This role is not just about compliance, it enables us to walk more closely with our partners, support them where it matters most, and track progress in ways that show not only what is being done, but the difference it is making.

Each year we meet in-person with 3 Angels Nepal for an organisational health check. The FPHC is more than a paperwork exercise. We visit program sites, listen to staff and leadership, and review policies, data, reports, and photos. Together, we look at their governance, finances, program effectiveness and future needs.

The FPHC not only keeps our partnership transparent, accountable, and closely aligned with international development best practices; it’s also an opportunity for us to collectively reflect on our alignment as organisations.

The 2024 Field Partner Health Check was completed in December 2024 by Managing Director, Jordana Morrison. 3 Angels Nepal achieved the highest rating in every assessment area. Together we identified three key focus areas for the year ahead:

1. Governance and compliance: To ensure compliance and alignment with international best practice we identified a need to strengthen our measurement and evaluation processes, policies, and documents. In early 2025 we recruited a new dedicated role of Program Manager to oversee the development of our Programs department and operations.

2. Government Rating: 3 Angels Nepal’s School received a reduced rating from the Nepali Government due to previous conditions. They have since implemented the necessary improvements to address the issues, while continuing to enhance the existing school. While this did not affect the school’s ability to meet the Field Partner Health Check standards, maintaining an acceptable government rating is crucial to prevent closure before The Pokhara Project’s priority school buildings are completed.

3. Emergency Funding: Following a drop in fee-paying enrolments in 2023 due to deteriorating facilities, Give Freedom provided emergency support for urgent maintenance and rent payments for the school buildings. These measures helped boost enrolments in 2024 and ensured the school could continue operating. To maintain continuity while The Pokhara Project is under construction, we have committed to supporting 3 Angels Nepal with discretionary emergency funds for urgent needs, and establishing processes to enable more predictable financial management.
