Is your organisation actually ready to deliver lasting aquatic animal welfare impact?

Find out in 90 seconds with the AAWRI NGO Readiness Snapshot.

90 seconds | 8 questions | Free snapshot

Good intentions don't automatically create good welfare outcomes.

Most organisations know where they want to go. The harder question is knowing what needs to be strengthened first.

AAWRI provides an evidence-based way to examine organisational readiness across eight critical domains, helping organisations understand their strengths, identify gaps and prioritise where to focus next.

Domains addressed

01

Leadership, governance & organisational commitment

02

Staff capacity

03

Programme design

04

Field implementation

05

Partnerships & collaboration

06

Monitoring, evaluation & learning

07

Knowledge sharing & advocacy

08

Sustainability & scale

What makes AAWRI different?

01 — ORGANISATIONAL READINESS

Does the organisation have the leadership, people, systems and partnerships required to operate effectively?

02 — TECHNICAL WELFARE PRACTICE

Does its organisational foundation translate into technically sound aquatic animal welfare practice?

03 — EVIDENCE & IMPLEMENTATION

Can the organisation demonstrate that its policies, programmes and interventions are actually working?

AAWRI asks a harder question.

Having policies, plans and systems is only the starting point.
The real measure of readiness is whether they translate into effective action and demonstrably better aquatic animal welfare..

POLICY → PRACTICE

Do you have a welfare policy?

Can you demonstrate that it translates into better welfare practice?

INTENTION → IMPLEMENTATION

Do you have a plan for improving aquatic animal welfare?

Can you demonstrate that the plan is being implemented effectively?

KNOWLEDGE → EVIDENCE

Do you know what good welfare looks like for the species you work with?

Can you demonstrate that your programmes use appropriate welfare indicators and evidence?

SYSTEMS → ACTION

Do you have procedures for identifying poor welfare?

Can you demonstrate that problems are identified, addressed and followed through with corrective action?

ORGANISATIONAL CAPACITY → ANIMAL WELFARE

Is your organisation equipped to deliver its programmes in a sustainable and impactful way?

Does that organisational capacity translate into technically sound aquatic animal welfare practice?

AAWRI doesn't assume that every organisation does the same work.

Technical criteria are assessed according to the programmes an organisation actually delivers.

So... where does your organisation stand?
