Why choose this course:
NGOs are increasingly required to report on the impact of their development or humanitarian interventions, in order to show:
• accountability to both donors and stakeholders
• organisational learning
• evidence to support their advocacy
• improvements in professional standards

However, there is often confusion about what impact really entails, and how it is different from evaluations. This course gives clear answers to these questions, and enables you to design impact assessments which fit your own organisation’s needs.

What you will learn:
• The concept of impact assessment
• How impact assessment differs from, and complements, monitoring and evaluation processes
• The approaches used to assess impact
• Tools and systems for assessing the impact of your work
• Key challenges you will face in practice
• Design your own impact assessment process
• How to use the results
