Independent Impact Measurement
Before-and-after numbers, from a neutral party
Definition
A neutral measurement of what actually changed after a programme or project, with before-and-after numbers and a published methodology — so you can tell a funder or a board: this is what happened, and here is the evidence.
We measure what actually changed after a programme or project: time, cost, number of steps, people served — with a published methodology and a field visit to verify.
What it includes
- Defining the impact indicators with you before the start: time, cost, steps, people served, satisfaction
- A baseline from records and the field
- A follow-up measurement after 3–6 months
- A field verification visit and a sample of interviews
- An impact report with a published methodology and confidence limits
- A signed impact certificate fit for the annual report
- A one-page executive summary for the funder
How it runs
- 1An indicators workshop (half a day)
- 2The baseline measurement
- 3You run the programme
- 4The follow-up measurement and field verification
- 5The report, the certificate and a presentation session
Why Nexus Via
Whoever runs the programme cannot also be the judge of its result — neutrality is the product. And because our slogan is "measurable impact", we hold our own projects to the same method we use to measure others.
A real-world example
A bank funded training for 500 young people. The question: how many are working six months later, and by how much did their income rise? We measure, and we sign the number.
