Impact Assessment is typically performed for projects sponsored by CSR departments and foundations. Many CSR departments and foundations focused on evaluating the impact on community due to various initiatives undertaken by them either hire an external agency or perform Impact Assessment on their own. In 2021, the CSR law in India has made it mandatory to perform Impact Assessment for CSR projects. To know more please visit Our Ideas section
Our CSR Impact assessment approach is broadly based on OECD
framework and our expertise. Once we are onboarded by the CSR
department for impact assessment, we review the project
documentation available with them and get in touch with NGOs. Once
we have a detailed discussion with NGOs, we design our customized
assessment approach involving beneficiary interviews, focus group
discussion, stakeholder interviews, etc. The data collected through
various discussion is collated, validated and analyzed to assess the
impact created by a CSR project.
