95、work with digital skillsEdison Alliance:1 Billion Lives Challenge17Appendix5MethodologyThe EDISON Alliance has gathered numerous commitments.However,tangible impact has always been the main priority for EDISON Alliance partners.The EDISON Alliance implemented a yearly commitment reporting exercise t
96、o measure impact on the ground and report progress against our collective 2025 target.What were partners asked to report back on?Partners were asked to report back on:The total number of lives improved,based on each partners latest reported numbers If the information was available,a breakdown by KPI
97、:lives impacted by geography,focus area,problem being solved(i.e.,usability,affordability,access)and key enablersHow is progress tracked?All data comprised in this report was submitted by EDISON Alliance partners.Every organization and initiative have their own mechanisms for tracking and measuring
98、the progress of their programmes;partners were relied on to track and share their progress.The EDISON Alliance wants to hold itself accountable to the aggregate impact of 1 billion lives.Therefore,we have mapped each partners reporting process to understand what they are tracking,and how and when th
99、ey are reporting progress.To avoid force fitting a unique reporting calendar on partners,we built in flexibility for partners to report back numbers based on their own reporting cycles and availability of data provided.While collective progress will be communicated once a year at the Annual Meeting
100、in Davos,partners follow tailored and individual reporting cadences,which remain the same year on year.Key considerations:Lives impacted before the launch of the EDISON Alliance in January 2021 are not included in reporting numbers.Since commitments are usually an aggregation of several digital incl
101、usion initiatives,partners were asked,after consultations,to report back at the initiative level.No individual partner data is shared externally,only aggregated and collective progress.How have you managed potential double counting of lives?In collaboration with partners,we eliminated or reduced pos
102、sible double counting if:Lives were counted more than once within the same initiative;we are counting unique beneficiaries and not counting usage and the number of clicks or calls.Lives were counted across more than one initiative within the same focus area;for example,if a student used two separate
103、 online learning platforms(education focus area)included in the same commitment.Lives were counted by more than one partner.In the case where two partners have made separate commitments but a subset of their commitment includes a partnership,we have avoided counting numbers twice.Ultimately,we want
104、people using multiple digital services.This means there is meaningful collaboration and resources from more than one organization going into building a sustainable ecosystem and delivering a rich set of meaningful services for individuals.Edison Alliance:1 Billion Lives Challenge18ContributorsWorld
