As the OBCD project concludes, we are proud to present two major outcomes: the OBCD Social Impact Toolkit and the OBCD Social Return on Investment (SROI) results.

The OBCD Social Impact Toolkit is a practical and user-friendly guide designed to help organizations assess and communicate their social, environmental, and economic impact. Built around a Theory of Change framework, it offers a clear, step-by-step process—supported by numerous resources—for defining goals, selecting relevant indicators, measuring progress, and reporting results. The toolkit also includes guidance on effectively integrating AI to streamline these tasks and features real-world examples to facilitate its application. It is tailored for:

1. OBCD partners conducting retrospective social impact assessments and monitoring long-term results
2. Individuals and organizations looking to evaluate the impact of specific initiatives using the pre-built OBCD framework
3. Stakeholders interested in adapting the toolkit to suit their unique organizational contexts or project needs.

The OBCD SROI report quantifies the social value generated by the project for every euro invested. By translating social impact assessment results into a monetary value, the SROI offers concrete, numerical evidence of the project’s benefits. This metric helps demonstrate the broader economic, social, and environmental value created through the initiative.

Together, these two outcomes provide critical insights and validation for the OBCD project. They enhance transparency and accountability, strengthen the ability to communicate social value to stakeholders and funders, and establish a robust foundation for ongoing and future impact measurement.
