WiGLI Recognized as Best Independent Monitoring & Evaluation Nonprofit – 2026

Walking in Grace for Lifelong Impact (WiGLI) is honored to announce that it has been recognized as the Best Independent Monitoring & Evaluation Nonprofit – 2026 by the Top 100 Awards. This recognition reflects WiGLI’s unwavering commitment to delivering high-quality, independent monitoring and evaluation services that promote accountability, transparency, evidence-based decision-making, and sustainable development.

The award follows a comprehensive evaluation process that considered both the information submitted by WiGLI and independent research conducted by the Top 100 Awards team. It recognizes organizations that demonstrate excellence, innovation, and measurable impact within their respective sectors.

At WiGLI, we believe that effective monitoring and evaluation are fundamental to improving programme quality, strengthening accountability, measuring impact, and ensuring that humanitarian and development interventions create lasting positive change for vulnerable communities. Through independent monitoring, digital data collection, accountability to affected populations (AAP), beneficiary verification, field assessments, and evidence generation, we help partners make informed decisions and improve programme performance.

This recognition reflects the dedication, professionalism, and integrity of the entire WiGLI team, whose commitment to excellence continues to strengthen humanitarian and development programming across Burundi. We also extend our heartfelt gratitude to the communities we serve, whose trust and participation remain at the center of our work.

We would like to express our sincere appreciation to the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) for its valued partnership and collaboration in advancing independent monitoring and evaluation initiatives in Burundi. Through this partnership, WiGLI has contributed to strengthening transparency, accountability, and evidence-based decision-making across humanitarian programmes. We are grateful for WFP’s confidence in our organization and the opportunity to support its mission through independent third-party monitoring and high-quality monitoring and evaluation services.

As we celebrate this important milestone, WiGLI remains committed to excellence, innovation, transparency, and continuous learning. We will continue investing in robust monitoring, evaluation, accountability, learning, and digital innovation to support governments, United Nations agencies, development partners, civil society organizations, and local communities in achieving sustainable and measurable impact.
