Measuring and understanding the impact of your services can help you improve your services, motivate your staff and engage with funders. Social Impact Assessment (SIA) is the latest tool which helps to articulate the impacts generated by a social service. It is all about finding evidence on how social services have impacted the society and articulating such impacts with notions and terms that are easily understandable by the general public. Articulation of social impacts has grown its international significance in this decade.

The conference will offer perspectives on social impact measurement from leading charities, academics and grant-makers. It will cover a variety of topics ranging from identifying interested parties in SIA development, understanding the idea of SIA across stakeholders; generating common knowledge and expectations on SIA; and consolidating the SIA framework to be used in Hong Kong.
