Measuring and demonstrating impact

With the rise in results based management, measuring and demonstrating changes caused by your interventions is becoming increasingly important. How do you prove that your projects have an impact? Many find it a challenge to define this. There are now various approaches and methods to collect and analyse impact data. Let us guide you how to select the methods most suitable and cost-effective for your organisation. Quantitative or qualitative, online or offline, classic or modern methods, or a combination.

Background:

So you have an intention to do something good or expand what you are doing right now! The questions is how? Strategic planning is the tool that can answer the how and help you implement the vision you have and realize it.

We come up with this course to address the “research-based” needs of NGO board members, executives, development workers and managers. This comprehensive five-day training workshop will ensure the participants bring a positive change in their organization’s fundraising strategies.
