INCENTIVISED VERIFIED PROGRESSION INFRASTRUCTURE

Incentivise progress.
Verify results.

VPI helps development programmes turn participation into verified progression by connecting interventions, actions, evidence, verification, incentives and outcomes in one continuous infrastructure layer.

FROM PARTICIPATION TO PROGRESSION

Don't pay for participation.
Incentivise verified progress.

Programmes need mechanisms that help participants move forward—not simply more ways to count attendance.

Incentivised VPI connects programme actions to evidence, verification and benefits, while preserving an auditable progression record.

01

Reach

How many people participated?

02

Activity

What interventions were delivered?

03

Verified progression

Who moved forward, what evidence supports the claim, and what benefit should follow?

HOW VPI WORKS

Turn a programme into a verifiable pathway.

Define the journey, capture evidence at the right moments, apply verification and keep participant progression visible.

01

Intervention

Define the support, target behaviour and intended progression.

02

Action

Make the participant action that matters explicit and trackable.

03

Evidence

Capture participant, field, digital or documentary evidence.

04

Verification

Apply rules, confidence thresholds, review and human judgement.

05

Incentive

Trigger a benefit only when the defined evidence threshold is met.

06

Progression

Record the verified milestone and connect it to the programme outcome.

THE INCENTIVE ENGINE

Reward the milestone.
Protect the evidence.

Incentives can be cash, points, recognition, credentials, mentorship, inputs, market access, finance readiness or opportunities. The trigger is verified progression—not attendance alone.

DEFINE

What behaviour matters?

Set a programme-specific action or milestone before incentives are attached.

VERIFY

Is the claim credible?

Use evidence, confidence thresholds, duplicate checks, human review and escalation.

TRIGGER

What benefit follows?

Automate eligible rewards while keeping human override and an audit trail.

LEARN

Did progression continue?

Track repeat evidence and outcomes so incentives strengthen sustainable change.

INTEGRITY BY DESIGN

Incentives without gaming.

A reward is only as credible as the verification behind it. VPI separates evidence capture from reward eligibility and keeps exceptions visible to programme teams.

BUILT FOR REAL PROGRAMMES

One progression model.
Many contexts.

The domain changes. The underlying problem remains: how do you prove people moved from intervention toward a meaningful outcome?

START WITH ONE PROGRAMME

Have a programme where progression is difficult to prove?

Bring one participant journey, one programme outcome and one evidence challenge. We can model a focused VPI pilot around it.
