Impact Intelligence Toolkit

Thanks to your feedback, we have finalized the Impact Intelligence Toolkit. This toolkit is JA’s practical guide to understanding, measuring, and communicating the outcomes of our work. Built to support members across diverse contexts, it goes far beyond traditional impact measurement by providing a comprehensive, easy-to-use system for collecting data, analyzing results, capturing stories, and using evidence to strengthen programs and partnerships. Some sections—especially the longest one on quantitative research—are complex and dense, and may require focused study. Others are easier to navigate and put into practice immediately.

The toolkit walks you step-by-step through the core components of impact intelligence: foundational concepts in impact and theory of change; practical methods for quantitative and qualitative research; tools for cost analysis and operational insights; and clear guidance on data privacy, ethics, and protection. Whether you're designing a survey, interpreting data, conducting an alumni study, or capturing a compelling story, each section offers templates, examples, and explanations in plain language.
