As the name implies, every Last Thursday of the month, we religiously bring together thought leaders, practitioners, and enthusiasts to discuss a wide range of topics shaping today’s social impact and development sector
How Do We Measure Impact?
Let’s Examine the Broader Context: The Ecosystem
The social impact and development sector is at a crucial point, with global events, funding shifts, and systemic inequalities challenging traditional methods. Issues like poverty, inequality, and environmental degradation are deeply interconnected, shaping how we measure impact.
This session builds on February’s discussion on funding disruptions, focusing on understanding and measuring our role within these ecosystems. Join practitioners, funders, and researchers in rethinking approaches to achieving meaningful, sustainable change.
