Measuring Impact- key principles
� Its not about
� measuring rate of returns or size of profit
� General impact investing (environmental or other impact)
� It is about social impact on low income people
� $3 international poverty line
� Social exclusion
� Focus on contribution rather than attribution
� Understanding the impact chains
� We favor assessment over self-reporting
� Quantifying before and after / with and without solutions
� The tool has to be simple and affordable; and easy to report on5
Monitoring impact investments- what the others do
� Its not about
� measuring rate of returns or size of profit
� General impact investing (environmental or other impact)
� Issues
� Focus on contribution rather than attribution
� Range of impact: direct, indirect, systemic
� Reach and depth of impact
� Ex ante � ex-post
� Understanding the impact chains
� Stakeholder perception: We favor assessment over self-reporting
� Data gathering:
� Quantifying before and after / with and without solutions
� The tool has to be simple and affordable; and easy to report on

It is more about social impact on low income people ($3 international poverty line)-Inclusive growth goes beyond poverty (�Social exclusion), - but is not “trickle down
4
Monitoring impact investments- what the others do
� Global Impact Investors’ Network (GIIN): developed the Impact Reporting and Investment Rating (IRIS)
and a Global Impact Investing Rating Scheme (GIIRS)
� IRIS:
� Set of indicators � companies or funds can chose from for self reporting
� Common langue for reporting social and environmental impact, Not context specific
� GIIRS
� Social and environmental impact
� Weighting and rating (1-5 stars)
� Can we compare?
� Aspen Network of Development Entrepreneurs (ANDE)’s core set of metric: Revenue, employees, wages,
additional finance mobilized, greenhouse gas emissions avoided
� IADB: number of beneficiaries, cost per beneficiary, innovation factor, role of BoP, scalability, replicability
� KfW/DEG: impact rating system: combination of social, financial and economic returns
� IFC’s Development Outcome Tracking System (DOTS): focus on growth and jobs; financial performance,
environment-social=governance standard, private sector development7
ADB Impact Assessment Tool - 5 Steps
A tool for a fund manager to assess individual possible deals, not for portfolio screening
5 steps
� Eligibility gate : financial soundness, good business case, social inclusiveness
� Routes to Impact (smell test): how does the company achieve the combination of financial and social objectives: unmet
development needs, proposed inputs, planned outputs, anticipated outcomes, anticipated impact, alignment of social and
financial objectives
� investment decision
3. Scoring: social impact and inclusiveness; direct beneficiaries and poverty ratio, distribution benefits, gender, percentage
change, systemic impact (innovation and scalability), distribution and use of company profits, relevance and critical need for the
poor, internalization of inclusiveness in the company’s business culture
4. Setting Targets
5. Assessing the Fund Manager’s performance

relevance and critical need for the poor, internalization of inclusiveness in the company’s business culture
� Good business case conditions: alignment of financial and social objectives, value for money (cost per

� Investment policy target
� Investment target on Pro poor reach
� Achievement of specific targets (incl. innovation of IB business models promoted)
