This course unit focuses on impact-oriented management and social impact  valuation applied to programmes, projects, and organisations. It aims to equip students with skills to analyse theories of change, collect and interpret evidence, measure results, and communicate impact with rigour and transparency. A critical, thical, and participatory approach to evaluation is fostered, aligned with Social Work practice.
By the end of the course, students should be able to: explain core concepts of impact-oriented management; build and analyse theories of change and logic models; select appropriate indicators and methods for social impact evaluation; develop ethically informed and robust data-collection processes; apply basic  qualitative and quantitative analysis techniques; interpret results and produce well-grounded conclusions; prepare clear and rigorous impact reports tailored to different audiences; and integrate evaluation practices into continuous
improvement.
