Boost Masterclass - Monitoring & Evaluation

Welcome to the BOOST Masterclass on Monitoring and Evaluation for Sport for Social Impact Organisations. Effective Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) helps S4D organisations understand whether their activities are reaching the intended participants, achieving their objectives, and contributing to meaningful social change. In the Sport for Social Impact sector, being able to monitor progress, learn from implementation, and demonstrate results is essential for developing effective and sustainable programmes. This masterclass introduces the fundamental principles of Monitoring and Evaluation and explores how they can be applied in the context of S4D organisations and programmes. Whether you are developing a new initiative, managing an ongoing project, or strengthening your organisation's approach to measuring social impact, the concepts presented can help you better understand, document, and communicate the results of your work. Throughout the masterclass, participants will explore key elements of M&E, including defining what should be measured, identifying appropriate indicators, collecting and analysing information, and using findings to understand progress and impact. The aim is not to turn participants into M&E specialists, but to provide a practical understanding of how M&E can support learning, informed decision-making, programme improvement, accountability, and communication with funders, partners, participants, and other stakeholders. We encourage participants to reflect on their own S4D organisation's approach to M&E and consider how the principles presented can be applied in their context to continuously strengthen their social impact.
