What this actually involves

Lists drift. People move, die, are entered twice, or were never there. We take your list to where the people are and account for every name: met in person with identity confirmed, vouched for by others, gone, or unknown to anyone. For a programme we then ask those who are real what they received, when, and whether anyone asked them to pay for it, away from leaders and officials. For a payroll or a school register we count heads ourselves and set the count beside the register. You get the numbers and the names behind each one.

What you receive

  • Every name accounted for: verified, vouched for, gone, unknown or duplicated
  • What people received against what the list says, and when it arrived
  • Reports of anyone asked to pay to be listed or paid, with who asked
  • A headcount set beside the attendance register, for payrolls and schools
  • The list returned with a finding against each name

Who commissions this

  • Ministries and district local governments running grants and transfers
  • NGOs and donors needing third-party and post-distribution monitoring
  • Programmes lending or paying through parish and group structures
  • Employers and school owners checking a payroll or an enrolment register
  • Faith organisations and sponsors confirming who their support reaches
