The Impact Topical Group of FOREU4ALL focuses on three main goals: raising awareness around the concept of impact, building impact literacy across alliances, and enhancing impact readiness through appropriate strategies, structures, and processes.
The case studies examined in the report highlight how alliances are translating these goals into practice by embedding impact assessment within governance and management frameworks.
The case studies reveal that many alliances have already implemented impact assessment practices, with overlapping methodologies providing a foundation for shared approaches. Several alliances use Theory of Change frameworks to map links between activities, outcomes, and long-term impacts at institutional, regional, and European levels.
A recurring message is that impact assessment is not an end in itself, but a tool to support learning, strategic decision-making, and continuous improvement.
