Measuring impact - How to measure/monitor/report
The GIBS Network for Social Entrepreneurs will be running a two day interactive workshop that will equip you with the tools you need to not just measure your outputs and outcomes, but to track your social impact.
This workshop unpacks the questions of monitoring and evaluation: why it is important, how to do it and how to take the next step to measuring social impact. If you're grappling with linking outputs, outcomes and impact, want to demonstrate your value, or put a plan in place, this programme will suit you.
Who should attend?
The workshop is ideal for social leaders, funders, social entrepreneurs, board members and trustees, BBBEE and sustainability officers, CSI managers, and consultants.
The workshop will cover the following:
• Programme management and the role of M&E
• M&E concepts and terms
• Programme theories: Theories of change and theories of action
• Outcomes-based M&E planning
• M&E tools and methods
• Indicators
• Reporting
• Different types of evaluation, what the elements of evaluation are and how to go about planning one
• Learning and reflection practices
On completion of this workshop, you will have:
• An appreciation of how M&E can support both learning and accountability processes
• An understanding of the purpose of monitoring and evaluation, the differences between them and how they fit into broader programme management
• A familiarity with the core terms and concepts
