Social Audits and Impact Assessment
Evaluation of social impact programmes
Building Robust M&E Systems
We recognize the pivotal role monitoring and evaluation (M&E) plays in driving social change. A well defined Theory of Change and a Logical Framework can significantly amplify effectiveness of implementation and guide strategy for the future. Evolving regulatory amendments to the CSR Act, have also lent momentum to M&E practices. Yet, many organisations grapple with challenges in adopting robust evaluation techniques.

The Case for Rigorous Impact Measurement
In a landscape where accountability and transparency are paramount, robust M&E practices are no longer optional — they are essential. Amendments to the CSR Act have made it mandatory for companies to demonstrate verified impact, not just expenditure.
Social audits provide independent verification that reported outcomes actually occurred on the ground. Impact assessments enable organisations to learn, adapt, and scale what works.
