Essay: Lessons learned from harmonising impact measurement

June 4, 2021

Harmonisation of impact measurement is needed to improve the transparency, comparability and learning required to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Achieving this across a diverse group of organisations is challenging. A group of international finance institutions (IFIs) has joined up with Steward Redqueen to develop a harmonised tool to measure and report on indirect economic and environmental impacts of their investments.

In a contribution to the EDFI-ODI DFI essay series our Director Sabine Dankbaar, together with Giulia D. Debernardini (FMO) and Aneese Lelijveld (CDC), shares lessons learned from developing the Joint Impact Model (JIM), a tool to measure the socio-economic and environmental impact of a portfolio of investments in a harmonised way.
