IMPACT Outcome Monitoring Toolkit

The IMPACT Toolkit takes the evaluation process one step further than any other perpetrator programme evaluation. It is the first tool to measure a change of the impact of violent/abusive behaviour as stated by the male programme participants and their (ex-) partners. The toolkit allows you to monitor and measure your programme outcomes in a standardized way, which you can use for funding applications and to lobby at a local and national level.

Programmes receive questionnaires for both the men in the programmes and for their (ex-)partners. These questionnaires are answered at first contact (T0), the beginning of the programme (T1), halfway through the programme (T2), the end of the programme (T3) and at six month follow-up after the programme is finished (T4). Both the male clients and their female (ex-)partners fill out the questionnaires, giving an insight into changes over time.

The outcomes you can evaluate with the IMPACT Toolkit are:

• Behaviour and attitude changes in clients
• Survivor safety and well-being
• Changes in the lives of children, as perceived by the parents
• Achievement of the hopes of clients and their partners/ex-partners

We

• train your team on how to use the toolkit
• analyse the data you gather
• write different types of reports based on your data or tailor reports to your specific programme needs

Types of reports:

• Descriptive report
• Beginning vs end of programme evaluation report 
• Report comparing completers vs non-completers
• Report on one specific couple (case study)
