Impact-oriented steering--the concept of NGO-IDEAs 'impact toolbox'.
The NGO-IDEAs 'Impact Toolbox' has been developed with a group of NGOs all of which are active in the area of saving and credit in South India. This compilation of methods to apply in impact-oriented steering was devised by the executive staff of the Indian partner NGOs, also known as the Resource Persons, in 2006 and tested from late 2006 to early 2007. At first glance, the approach may appear to be highly specialised and difficult to transfer. However, in fact it follows principles that can be adapted for several NGOs in other countries and in other sectors. The following article presents the concept of the NGO-IDEAs 'Impact Toolbox'.
