Impact assessment
The purpose of Social Innovation Ecosystem Impact Assessment Framework is to ensure that social enterprises, support organizations, and policymakers can effectively track, evaluate, and optimize the change they create. Many impact assessment methods focus solely on financial or quantitative metrics, failing to capture the complexity of social transformation. The framework addresses that gap by integrating the Theory of Change, allowing organizations to map the relationships between their interventions and long-term outcomes. It gives step-by-step guidance on:
– designing an impact strategy;
– establishing measurable indicators;
– embedding assessment into daily operations.
The Social Innovation Ecosystem Impact Assessment Framework consists of:
- Entry-level Hands-on Practical Guide for small social entrepreneurs, social innovators and NGOs (worksheets and slide deck);
- Social Impact Strategy Step-by-Step Guide for various stakeholders, including social innovation support actors, clusters, social entrepreneurs and innovators (worksheets, workbook, literature study).
