Planning Assessment Reporting and Learning (PARL)
Planning Assessment Reporting and Learning (PARL)
Foundations often lack tools to help bridge the gap between high-level programme strategies and individual grant decisions. Now a new tool can help senior managers and programmes teams in dealing with both strategic alignment and communications:
Map out your strategies in a logical and visually compelling manner
Monitor the progress towards the intended outcomes and adjust your strategy easily when necessary
Extract data for reporting to your board and funders
Fill the missing link between your strategy documents and your grants management system
The Planning Assessment Reporting and Learning (PARL) tool is an application available on a secured web platform for foundations, both large and small, that need a simple-to-use but powerful aid for programme teams.
Document your Strategic Objectives with the PARL logic model graphical depiction, from the contribution of a single grant to the achievement of an entire objective. Assess progress against Key Performance Indicators at the Grant, Outcome and Objective levels. The graphical interface presents an attractive and simplified visual on how change happens, and your progress towards impact.

Generate reporting for internal management and funders
Increase clarity and improve strategic decision making by providing a common strategic language between your organisation, your funders and your grantees
Improve internal organisational alignment and communications through a common, documented framework
Allow programmes to monitor their strategies and track progress against their objectives.
"We’re using PARL across all our programmes and it has increased collaboration and decision making internally while getting great feedback from our funders and supporters.”
