The Partnership Impact Model™ includes the 11 Partnership Impacts, Scaling Up Partnership Impact, the Partnership Impact Roadmap, and the 7 Steps of Partnership Impact Evaluation. The front panels describe the impacts and processes that form the model. The back panels outline tools that collaboratives can use to define and evaluate their impact.
The 11 Partnership Impacts is a framework that outlines the collection of impacts that landscape-scale stewardship partnerships should consider when it comes to delivering and measuring the value of their collaborative initiatives.
Scaling Up Partnership Impact illustrates the dynamic process and interdependence between foundational, operational, and outcome impacts that occurs throughout a partnership’s lifecycle.
The Partnership Impact Roadmap and the 7 Steps of Partnership Impact Evaluation are designed to provide guidance to multi-sector partnership practitioners and funders undertaking long-term, systems-level collaboration on how to identify, define, and measure various indicators of impact.
Together, these resources can help collaboratives optimize, scale up, and sustain their impact.
