From Global Action to Local Impact: How Do We Do That?

Description

Achieving and demonstrating societal impact is high on the agenda of many national and international entities. How do we ensure objectivity and transparency when measuring impact?

Applying an impact approach for GEO’s activities showcases the evidence of the long-term achievements of GWP activities, makes the GWP accountable to the funder, PB, ExCom, and provides relevant information for accountability purposes and resource mobilization.

Avoiding backward reasoning during our impact assessment by having a well-designed impact and monitoring plan of our activities as of the beginning might be the solution.

This session focuses on creating more awareness of the relevance of an impact approach for GWP activities, sharing best practices on impact design and monitoring and exploring opportunities to strengthen and maximise the impact approach within GEO.
