Impact Measurement at I&P: an in-depth case study published by EVPA
Submitted by admin on Thu, 02/25/2016 - 11:20The European Venture Philanthropy Association (EVPA) publishes two in-depth case studies on impact measurement, based on the practice of two of their members: Investisseurs & Partenaires and Reach For Change, a Swedish grantmaker and incubator operating worldwide.
This publication shows how I&P and Reach For Change have developed their own impact measurement system and how they have dealt with issues such as proportionality, attribution and additionality.
As stated by Jean-Michel Severino in introduction to this report: “Impact measurement is not about feeling good about what you did, it’s about learning on yourself and leaving things behind that others can reuse and scale”
Elodie Nocquet, ESG & Impact Director at I&P, was interviewed by EVPA to briefly explain I&P impact methodology and rationale:
The manual notably outlines:
• What measurement tools I&P and Reach for Change have found most effective
• What quantitative and qualitative data we measure on an investee level and on an organizational level
• What we ask our investees to report
• How we benchmark results with external data
• How we tackled the main challenges of impact measurement, including proportionality and attribution
