Transform the ways girls think about themselves, and the
way families and communities perceive them
Improve girls’ knowledge about their rights, their bodies, and
their health
Build leadership skills; offer opportunities to practice
leadership

Isolated
Impact
Organisations work separately and
compete to produce the greatest
independent impact
Large scale change depends on scaling a single organization
Evaluation attempts to isolate a particular
impact of a programme or organisation
Collective
Impact
Progress depends on working toward the same – common –
goal and measure the same indicators
Large scale impact depends on increasing cross-sector alignment
and learning among many organisations
