Corporate Social Investment (CSI)/ Sponsor
Corporate South Africa has a vital role to play in bringing about meaningful change and improved conditions to impoverished, under-resourced and disadvantaged communities. In order to bring about sustainability and a lasting impact in the education sector we need companies and corporations to partner with us in making this happen.
How We Measure Impact:
We take measuring our impact seriously and ongoing quality assurance is a priority:
- We have developed a purpose-built application called a “Checklist App” used by our field trainers to regularly collect data which are indicators of quality early learning delivery.
- A baseline measurement of a sample of children in the centres is conducted and compared against universally accepted standards of development.
- Before and after assessments are conducted of both the children and the centres.
We rely on evidence-based judgements of the social impact of our projects and therefore emphasize long term activities and not “snake-bite” interventions. Our monitoring is systematic, systemic and continuous so that adjustments can be made as needed to ensure the full impact of the programmes are maximised at whole school level.
