Description
The webinar is useful for the
people interested to demonstrate the changes in the real life following their
project’s intervention, to measure its impact. It
is rare for the impact to be fully understood, or correctly, anticipated in the
program-planning phase. Quite often this learning builds up during the
implementation, based on multiple variables (stakeholders interaction and
learning, positive developments in project’s environment, synergy with other
economic, social, or policy initiatives, etc.). Being able to understand when,
and how, to approach impact measurement can make the difference between a
successful project and a not very successful one.
The first
session will present three case studies, how, and when we succeeded to measure
the impact:
- Measurement platform build at the project start, impact measurement initiated mid-way – technology program
- Specific activities and their impact measurement initiated mid-way – agriculture/economic development program
- Relevant data collection for impact measurement done after project’s end - microfinance services
We will discuss the similarities in those approaches, and what and when we did, in order to be able to measure the impact. It is not rare to see projects’ stakeholders do not understand projects’ metrics, and sometime communicating those directly would not have the expected effect. Processing impact data to be able to use a friendlier language, easy to understand, is one of the way to avoid such challenges. We will present our experience in doing this.
