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 approach to assessing the main benefits of a program. It focuses on whether the program is achieving its primary target result, rather than assessing everything the program does.

  • Lean evaluations aim to provide organizations with a quick but reliable understanding of program effectiveness—that is, whether the program is achieving its main target result. 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 are doing, regardless of funders’ evaluation requirements.

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

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

  • No, we do not provide training 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 success indicators in everyday operations. To this end, we work with a team comprising leadership, M&E, and program/field staff.

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

    1. Their programs must have at least 2 years of implementation.

    2. The organization must have M&E personnel.

    3. The organization must have digitized evaluation processes or, if using paper-based formats, a mature and reliable digitization process.
