At The A.D. Sakharov Armenian Human Rights Protection Centre, our commitment to human rights is matched only by our commitment to transparency. As we conclude our project cycle, we are proud to share the results of our External Evaluation for 2021-2024.
For our donors, partners, and the communities we serve, this evaluation provides independent proof that your trust is well-placed and that our operations meet the highest international standards.
Trust is built on accountability. During the evaluation process, our sub-grant partners were asked to rate our project and financial management. We are honored to report a perfect score of 10 out of 10.
This rating reflects:
- Strict Financial Oversight: Every cent spent is tracked and audited to ensure it directly supports our mission.
- Professional Auditing: Our financial activities were fully audited by “G. Sahakyan and Partners” LLC, ensuring compliance and ethical stewardship of funds.
- Open Governance: We maintain a clear separation of duties and rigorous reporting to our primary donors Bread for the World (Brot für die Welt).
The External Evaluation 2021-2024 identifies the Sakharov Centre as a “transition-phase” organization, meaning we have successfully institutionalized our processes while remaining agile enough to respond to crises.
- Sustainable Growth: The evaluation confirmed that we successfully met over 50% of our high-level results, even amidst the complex regional challenges of the last four years.
- A Catalyst for Others: By mentoring smaller NGOs through our sub-grant programs, we have helped new SCOs, multiplying the impact of every dollar invested in us.
Transparency also means being clear about our results. In the final year of this evaluation cycle, our numbers show a direct correlation between funding and freedom:
- 3,587 lives touched through free legal consultations.
- 140 legal victories where citizen rights were fully restored.
- 1,016 future leaders trained through our Civil Society School (CSS).
We invite all stakeholders to review our progress here:
