Demonstrating Social Impact with Evidence-based Assessment – Sharing of the SIA Tool Sets & Cases

Introduction

It is a common practice for the social service sector to conduct service evaluation for accountability reporting and service development, but only a few agencies will demonstrate their outcomes of their interventions with social perspective. Therefore, in collaboration with the University of Hong Kong, project donors and organizers, HKCSS had attempted a number of SIAs to articulate the social impacts of service projects. In 2014, our Guidelines and Protocol outlining the conceptual framework on SIA and delineating the principles, guidelines, and protocol of conducting SIA were launched.

To take one step forward, HKCSS would like to forge a platform for SIA case sharing to encourage NGOs and their practitioners to think about their projects in terms of social impacts and to actively conduct SIA on their projects in particular those related to the youth.

Objective

• To help NGOs and their practitioners interested in impact articulation to grasp the methodological principles and steps of SIA in more realistic terms through examining individual cases of SIA

• To introduce new materials, resources, tools and create network of interested parties for NGOs’ use for SIA

• To guide social service workers to identify what outcomes of their projects should be and understand how to effectively measure them

Content

• Basic concepts and principles about SIA

• SIA Framework developed by HKCSS and ExCEL 3, HKU

• SIA in specific service contexts

• Procedure and implementation process of Outcomes and Measurements

• Lessons learnt and tips for NGOs to conduct SIA
