HOW VERIFICATION WORKS

A claim becomes useful
when it can be checked.

The proposed verification model connects a clear activity record with independent review. Recognition follows the review, not the upload.

THE PROPOSED VERIFICATION JOURNEYExplore the path from intention to impact.

One good action.
A whole system behind it.

A lesson creates understanding. A programme creates an opportunity. Evidence makes the contribution credible. Recognition makes it visible.

START WITH

Programmes build the habit.Designed for the place and the people.

Verification builds the trust.Evidence first. Recognition after.

Connections build the network.Institutions, communities, NGOs and brands.

Keep the status
honest at every step.

01

Submitted

Information has been received. It has not yet been verified.

02

Needs clarification

The record is incomplete or inconsistent. More context is needed.

03

Reviewed

A check has been completed against the defined criteria. Recognition depends on the outcome.

THE STANDARD IS STILL BEING BUILT.

Be clear about
what is decided.

The principles are firm. The detailed method needs to be agreed before live credentials are issued.

What evidence might be required?+

Activity context, dates, location, programme records and relevant before-and-after evidence. The exact requirements depend on the programme and will be defined before it begins.

Who reviews it?+

The proposed model uses independent review, with trained on-ground validators where required. Reviewer appointment, training and conflict-of-interest procedures are still being finalised.

What if information is missing?+

The proposed workflow returns incomplete or inconsistent records for clarification. A pending submission must not be presented as a verified outcome.

Can recognition be corrected or withdrawn?+

Correction, appeal, re-verification and withdrawal procedures still need to be defined. The website does not imply those processes are already operational.

Does a GPS fix prove an activity happened?+

No. Photos and location information are useful evidence signals. They need context and review; they are not proof on their own.
