Your Challenges

impact measurement

You measure everything but impact

Past evaluations of your program documented other issues (i.e., implementation challenges), but they did not measure effectiveness.

simplified impact evaluation

Evaluations overburden staff and disrupt operations

Traditional evaluations typically require significant time from staff to coordinate data collection activities, interfering with regular operations.

impact evaluation training, capacity building

External support is costly and leaves no installed capacity

External expertise is costly, still overloads staff to coordinate activities, and rarely leaves installed capacity. And when it does provide training, it rarely includes all key personnel.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • A lean evaluation is a streamlined and agile evaluation that focuses on assessing the main impact of a program/service, rather than measuring everything the program/service does.

  • Lean evaluations aim to provide organizations with a quick but reliable understanding of impact. Lean evaluation results can be used for internal learning as well as for external communication.

  • Here are the 3 top reasons why our clients chose to set up a lean evaluation system:

    1. To collect baseline and follow-up data consistently without even noticing.

    2. To regularly understand how programs/services are doing, regardless of funders’ evaluation requirements.

    3. To leverage non-M&E staff for data collection without having to train them on M&E.

  • No, lean evaluations are an operational approach to streamlining impact evaluation.

  • No, we do not provide courses in monitoring and evaluation (M&E). The organizations we work with must have a dedicated M&E team in place before they start working with us.

    Our services rather focus on helping organizations embed the collection of key impact indicators in everyday operations.

  • Organizations interested in implementing Lean Impact Flow® must meet the following criteria:

    1. Be an NGO/nonprofit or a social enterprise implementing social or health programs/services for at least 2 years.

    2. Have staff dedicated to M&E responsibilities.

    3. Have digitized evaluation processes or, if using paper-based formats, a mature and reliable digitization process.
