Transform your Impact Monitoring

The main principle IMPACTSO methodology adopts in measuring social impact revolves around impactful activities. The ultimate goal is to make a positive impact. That’s why it is most important to concentrate on activities that are significant to the target groups. By executing these activities effectively, you can assist those in need, whether it’s enhancing their knowledge, influencing their behavior, or facilitating positive life changes. By implementing a critical mass of such activities, you can contribute to social change.

Social impact is directly linked to inputs – the amount of resources invested affects the contribution to social impact that can lead to social change.
