The tools in this Kit aim to set and carry out the impact assessment of a project developed or to be developed in small and remote places. It supports the identification of desired impacts and the indicators necessary to measure them. It also guides the assessment of the impacts at different levels, from personal to systemic.
As you may have observed, this Kit is included in all the recipes for choosing the best tools for your project. Together with trends and scenarios, early-stage impact evaluation encourages you to clarify your goal and imagine the legacy of your activities before prototyping your ideas. Even though this Kit is positioned at the end of the design process, reflecting on impacts at an earlier stage of the project may be very stimulating and acknowledged and experienced as creative restrictions.
What questions does this Kit answer?
- What are the outputs of the project in relation to each strategic objective?
- What impacts do these outputs aspire to?
- Which indicators are proper for measuring the impact of this kind of project?
- How does the project impact the stakeholders, and who are they?
To answer these questions, the Kit requires a re-organization of the information gathered using Kit 1 and 3. The Kit may also require interviews, surveys, and locals to be contacted.
