It offers an analysis of democratic governance models, concrete measures to extend them beyond the Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE), a theory of change, and a set of indicators. An essential resource for leaders, social and solidarity economy (SSE) stakeholders, and anyone interested in rethinking the role of stakeholders within an organization.

How to analyse an impact evaluation report ?

Impact measurement has become a major stake in the social and environmental field: while impact organizations and assessments are becoming more numerous, focusing on the transparency and quality of reports as well as data is now a top priority.

To deal with this issue, we developed this guide as a practical tool in partnership with Convergences 3Zéro, during the "Social impact measurement breakfasts" that we co-host together with Avise since 2018.

It will give you keys to analyse and understand social impact measurement reports.
