"The Social Impact Navigator provides an accessible introduction to the issue of impact orientation. We want to show you how with simple steps, you can plan and implement your project in an impact-oriented way and analyze your results. We present instruments suitable for everyday use that will give you practical help in integrating an impact orientation into your project work, and support you as you address the issue of impact orientation inside your organization. Above all, we want to motivate you to engage with the issue yourself. Who is the target audience? This publication is directed toward non-profit and other civil society organizations, and their projects and programs that have as yet had only limited experience with the issues of impact orientation and social impact analysis. We want to show that by taking simple, small steps, even organizations with limited resources for monitoring and evaluation can review the effectiveness of their work and learn from these results."
