Impact

Measuring the impact of NTW is crucial in influencing other organisations to work in this way. ERS is a research consultancy that is leading our evaluation of the programme. 

ERS are:

• Identifying and measuring the value of social networks for improving individual, household and community resilience
• Capturing what works, how and for whom
• Demonstrating the causal relationship between project activities and the transformation of services, economic development and the creation of stronger communities.
• Presenting the cost benefits of implementing a programme like this in local communities

They are doing this by:

• Producing a thorough evaluation of the impact of the first three years of the programme
• Capturing evidence from local residents about their involvement with the programme
• Identifying the transformation that has been achieved in local services and organisations
• Collating an evidence log of impact to present at our study visits and partner engagement session
