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.
