With its partner KiMSO, the Group built a guidebook intended to support its local partners in assessing, in a standardized way, the social impact of their training activities. The pilot phase was carried in several centers. The roll-out program was shelved because of the health crisis, leading to the temporary closure of many centers. KiMSO is a social impact assessment consulting firm that helps charities, NGOs, and Foundations to understand, measure and value their impact on key stakeholders. The project covers both social impact assessment and results chain analysis. Social impact consists of the direct or indirect, intended or unintended, effects of an organization’s actions on its stakeholders (i.e., beneficiaries, users, volunteers, partners) and on society in general. Social impact assessment refers to the process of monitoring, analyzing, and managing those social consequences, which can be both positive and negative. This is an evaluative process aiming at answering the following key question: what changes thanks to us? Results chain analysis establishes causal relationships from the resources used to conduct a program to the long-term effects following the end of the program. It sets out a logical and plausible outline of how a sequence of inputs and outputs interacts with individuals’ behavior and conditions to generate outcomes.
