Assessment Overview
Programme ImpactAssessment
Are programmes planned, tracked and measured in a way that proves their impact?
The Programme Impact Assessment evaluates how well a programme connects its intended outcomes to the evidence it collects. It looks at planning, participation tracking, outcome measurement and how visible the resulting impact is to stakeholders.
It helps programme managers move beyond activity counts to a credible, evidence-based impact story that funders and communities can trust.
Designed for: Programme managers, NGOs, federations and development partners
