Monitoring & Evaluation
Monitoring and evaluation (M&E), impact assessment and learning are essential parts of Bonsucro’s activities.
We are constantly working to improve the social, environmental, and economic sustainability of sugarcane farming and production of its derived products, and our Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning (MEL) System reflects this.
Our MEL System serves three main purposes:
- To monitor and evaluate the multiple roles of Bonsucro in contributing to change, as well as to learn how delivery of the strategy can be continuously improved;
- To generate evidence of our impact and enable us, as a community of change, to learn and improve (informing service delivery, programme design and tools, globally and locally);
- To report and celebrate success and give visibility to positive impacts, creating trust in Bonsucro and inspiring our stakeholders to take action on sustainability.

Bonsucro Outcome Report
Every year, Bonsucro publishes its Outcome Report to provide stakeholders with a view on key improvements achieved by the sustainable sugarcane sector, made of operators which participate in the Bonsucro platform and/or achieve Bonsucro certification. It is based on analyses carried out by the Bonsucro secretariat using different sources of data. The report seeks to assess key indicators to provide an evaluation of the performance of the organisation in delivering impact, and to identify the measurable outcomes achieved by operators.
