Evidence Based Program Design - Focus on Capacity Building

Foundation Strategy Group: Collective Impact — Large-scale social change requires broad cross-sector coordination, yet the social sector remains focused on the isolated intervention of individual organizations. Substantially greater progress could be made in alleviating many of our most serious and complex social problems if nonprofits, governments, businesses, and the public were brought together around a common agenda to create collective impact. Published in the Stanford Social Innovation Review, Winter 2011.

McKinsey Learning Driven Assessment — A Learning Driven Assessment identifies what works and why. It considers unintended consequences (both positive and negative) and environmental influences that enhance or undermine a program’s success. It asks "does the community support it?" and "what do the intended beneficiaries think about it?" A Learning Driven Assessment captures critical information at all stages and in real-time—as programs are conceived, while they are being designed, and during their execution—and captures knowledge from expectation “failures” as well as successes.
