Measuring impact

Measuring impact means assessing the difference or change caused by a project, program, or activity. It involves collecting data to understand how outcomes—like improved health, increased skills, or better community well-being—have been achieved. This helps determine whether goals are being met and if resources are effectively used. Essentially, it's a way to see if efforts are making a meaningful, positive difference in people's lives or in the environment, guiding improvements and decision-making for future initiatives.
