| Assessment Resource - Purpose | This short guide provides an introduction to social impact measurement for policy makers and practitioners to help make better investment and policy decisions. More in depth discussion on social impact measurement can be found in various publications on the SImetrica website. A full version of the guide will be available in due course. |
| Assessment Resource - Content | Although there are a number of guidance manuals, despite this growing interest there does not exist a comprehensive text that describes each of the methods and compares them to help practitioners get a better idea of which method is appropriate for their organisation. In this Guide we provide an introduction to the main approaches to social impact measurement in use today and discuss the main issues to take into account when assessing social value. |
