Video for Change Impact Evaluation Scoping Study: A Summary of Key Research Findings

In 2012 the video4change Network began investigating the opportunities and needs for impact evaluation in the Video for Change field. During the first half of 2013 the video4change Network worked with a small team of researchers who carried out a preliminary literature review to assess what had been published about Video for Change and the measurement of impact; the researchers then interviewed eight video4change organisations and two funding bodies to better understand the monitoring and evaluation experiences and needs of those working in this field. This first stage of our Video for Change Impact project is now complete and today we release the report of key findings from our scoping study (summarised below). The video4change Network are now examining funding options to build upon this work by creating a framework and toolkit that will help Video for Change practitioners and organisations design for and evaluate social impact.
