Methodology. Learner, completion and certificate counts are live platform records. Goal-level counts reflect active practice scenarios and curriculum modules tagged to each goal. Target-level alignment counts are derived by mapping target keywords (e.g., digital-skills terms for 4.4, workplace-safety terms for 8.8) across active content — an approximation designed for transparency, refreshed on every page load. Demographic breakdowns (women %) use self-reported registration data. For partnership conversations or detailed data requests, contact the Maahir team — see our SDG & Development Practice track for how we teach this methodology itself.
