“How do we define impact?”

Key points

• Monitoring and evaluation measure impact using baseline data, KPIs, and frameworks.
• Programs emphasize visuals, timelines, kanban boards, and master sheets for tracking.
• Most impact is discussed after data is ready, often focusing on ratings.
• Real-life outcomes include voting, waste segregation, and support for mental health.
• Youth-led initiatives stress personal impact, SDGs, and community advocacy beyond reports.
