Among the accomplishments of this project (as of November 2013):

- Created and supervised a promise-tracking and fact-checking website, TruthTracker, and an elections wiki, PakPolWiki;
- Mentored 60 stories and more than 100 photos to international standards for publication on UPI.com;
- Ran collaborative learning sessions with 350+ reporters on elections coverage and government issues reporting skills;
- Awarded competitive mini-grants for reporting projects and safety measures to 45 Pakistani journalists;
- Trained and developed a Pakistani evaluation team to conduct in-depth content analysis as a means of tracking skill progress by reporters.
