Impact Planning
Understand impact. Identify ways forward.
We support organisations in identifying their social and environmental impacts and developing appropriate strategies for action.
What we do
Theories of Change & Impact Frameworks
We analyse how organisations, programmes or processes relate to people and the environment. We make assumptions explicit and develop coherent impact models. This creates a shared foundation for planning, implementation, monitoring & evaluation, and communication.
Exemplary deliverables: Results model, objectives framework, key performace indicators, impact roadmap
Context & Sector Analyses
We analyse the contexts and sectors in which organisations work. We consider sectoral trends, stakeholder interests, power relations and gender and inclusion dynamics. Our analyses help make interventions more relevant, inclusive and sustainable.
Exemplary deliverables: Context analysis, gender analysis, stakeholder map, target group analysis, SWOT analysis, sector-specific recommendations
Impact Strategy & Programme Design
We support in developing coherent, impact-oriented strategies and programmes. Together with our clients and their partners, we align strategic priorities and objectives, assess different scenarios, and design appropriate programme structures and instruments that are relevant and feasible.
Exemplary deliverables: risk analysis, feasibility study, project appraisal, project design, module proposal, scenario analysis
