Impact & transparency

Real impact happens when people change and their community benefits

How we understand impact

Beyond the number of activities

At The Change Machine, impact is not measured only by the number of activities held or beneficiaries reached. Those indicators matter, but they are only one part of the change. We don't just ask how many people attended: we ask how many transformed the way they think and act.

Four levels of impact

Level 1
Individual transformation
Level 2
Organizational transformation
Level 3
Community transformation
Level 4
Environmental transformation
Level 1

Individual

Changes in knowledge, beliefs, skills, confidence or participation.

Level 2

Organizational

New partnerships, greater collaboration, changes in institutional practices, business participation.

Level 3

Community

More engaged communities, greater inclusion, collaboration networks, new local initiatives.

Level 4

Environmental

Regenerated environments: conservation, ecological regeneration and reconnecting communities with nature.

What we will never compromise on

Six lines we don't cross

We will never compromise our transparency to obtain resources.

We will never communicate impact we cannot prove.

We will never use social or environmental causes merely as a positioning tool.

We will never build partnerships that contradict our institutional principles.

We will never leave people out of the design of our solutions.

We will never lose sight of the fact that people are at the heart of our work.
