Education Video on Measuring and Managing Impact

Measuring performance and impact is key to implement, manage and fund social enterprises or microfinance institutions. It also allows to mobilize and align finance to the SDGs, and to include positive and negative impact considerations into investment and business decisions. In 2020, CERISE worked with students from Sciences Po Paris, as part of a working group on Measuring and Managing Impact, in partnership with the Grameen Crédit Agricole Foundation. The students produced a short educational and dynamic video to explain the concepts of impact and the existing approaches, to help navigating the world of results measurement.
