Social impact measurement for development, community and empowerment programmes — from the theory of change and impact chain to change indicators and net impact — delivered as impact cards for each track and a full impact report.
Also known as: social impact measurement, social impact assessment, theory of change, impact chain, net impact, SROI, impact measurement Saudi Arabia, social return on investment
Needs and impactSocial Impact Measurement
Funders, non-profits and CSR programmes need to prove the change their programmes made in beneficiaries' lives, not just the number of beneficiaries and activities.
For each programme we build the theory of change and impact chain, define change indicators and their sources, collect data from beneficiaries and stakeholders, and calculate net impact after removing what would have happened anyway.
We deliver Social Impact Measurement for government, semi-government, private and non-profit organisations in Riyadh, Jeddah, Makkah, Madinah, Dammam, Khobar and across Saudi Arabia and the GCC, in person or online, in Arabic and English.

Questions about Social Impact Measurement
What is the difference between outputs and impact?+
Outputs are what the programme delivered, such as beneficiaries and sessions; impact is the change that happened for beneficiaries because of the programme.
How is net impact calculated?+
Observed change is adjusted for what would have happened anyway (deadweight) and what moved elsewhere (displacement), and the programme's contribution and likely drop-off over time are estimated.
Can impact be measured after a programme ends?+
Yes, with an ex-post design using administrative records as the baseline and retrospective measurement, stating the design's limits.
Is the report written in our terminology?+
Yes. Reports follow the organisation's own terminology and approved impact-report model.
How much does Social Impact Measurement cost?+
The cost depends on the number of participants, the scope and the tools used. We send a detailed quotation after understanding your needs — request a demo and you will receive it within two working days.
