Skill Building Workshops for Impact Tracking

Building Inclusive Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning Systems

LENGTH: 2.5 hours

Our training provides an overview for your staff or your staff or partner organizations on how to make your Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) work for you. We share sharing tips, best practices, and participatory methodologies on how to track your impact and ensure you are getting daat that helps you learn and make decisions. We will also impart the technical know-how in setting up a MEL system that has a gender lens and is diverse and inclusive.

The Funding Database

ImpactMapper has created and launched a database of funding opportunities identified in 2025, many of which were created in response to international and US aid cuts.
‍
At the launch of the database on May 1, 2025, there were 150 grant opportunities (some directly responding to aid cuts and other are general funding opportunities that have emerged recently). We will be regularly adding to it. We have created this database based on information from news articles and press releases.

We have also created detailed taxonomy to make the database more searchable according to users's needs including taxonomy areas for issues funded, regions, type of fund, type of funder, if funds are open to the public or only for current grantees, etc.

We will continue to add to the database throughout this year and ask for your help in identifying other opportunities to add. Feel free to submit other new funding increases or grant opportunities by filling this short form.

We hope that you find the database useful!

Creating a Data Culture

LENGTH: 2.5 HOURS

This workshop supports your organization in creating strategic moments to bring different datastreams into internal conversations. This could involve setting up discussions around grantmaking data, board reports, annual reports, learning briefs, and other activities. The goal is to develop an action plan so that the data you collect is used throughout the year to track trends, help you make better decisions, improve practices and share learnings so you can increase the impact of the changes you are making.

Workshop Series to Define your Impact Metrics

LENGTH: 6-8 HOURS

Organizations need more than traditional key performance indicators (KPIs) to track their social impact. In order to ensure that your organization’s impact is meaningful, we lead interactive training sessions to help you define your impact, theory of change, stories of change and key impact metrics along with other KPIs.

This provides your team with the right metrics to measure and communicate your key areas of progress.

Workshop 1: Identifying the Problem, the Goals and Value Add to the Ecosystem (2 hours)

Workshop 2: Identifying Desired Outcomes and Ecosystem Level Changes (2 hours)

Workshop 3: Building your Impact Narrative and Communicating to Diverse Audiences (2 hours)

Capacity Building Trainings for Partners or Grantees

Impact Reporting Training Program for Grantees

LENGTH: 6 HOURS

This 10-week facilitated training course builds grantees' capacities on data analysis for impact reporting and communication in an interactive and engaging way. At the end of the program, each grantee will have their own impact report to share.

Who is this for: For grantees that have a dedicated MEL framework, like a theory of change or logframe metrics and data they need to analyze on an annual basis, this training program is for them. Grantees will add their data to ImpactMapper and analyze it for an annual impact report.
