Social impact and market forces: implications for measurement and evaluation

Come join Social Value Aotearoa and ANZEA as we co-host our next network event this month.

Market led social interventions have surged. They are injecting fresh energy and innovation in the social impact sphere. They involve a bewildering variety of activities and instruments that have blurred the boundaries between the public, private and voluntary sectors.

Please join Bob and Simon as they explore the implications of this shift for evaluators, managers, investors interested in measuring and managing social value.
