Foundation, we provide financial services and business
support to producer groups to increase their income, to
help them build more resilient and sustainable
businesses, to create more employment opportunities,
and to improve their living conditions. A large proportion
of our support is provided to smallholder farmers and
artisans, to help in working towards a better quality of
life, the promotion of economic growth and social
development for their communities.
The current global economic climate has disrupted
economies worldwide, resulting in various challenges for
producers. Through investment from our members, and
the support of donors and partners, we are able to
support fair trade businesses and their surrounding
communities throughout these difficult times.
Our internal Monitoring and Evaluation Committee works
to continually develop and improve methodology and
appropriate tools to observe and track the impact of our
lending, and the support we offer to businesses across
the globe. In addition, through various data collection
methods, we aim to demonstrate the effect of our
financial support over the year.
These include a Customer Social Impact Survey, refined
in the light of our ToC, interviews, focus groups
(including Producer Committee meetings) and case
studies to collect our impact data. Throughout our
reporting, we recognise that there are also many
external factors, which co
