Understanding and improving the impact of

international development

Jonathan Levine works with donors, Corporate Social Responsibility programs and other funders, as well as implementing organizations and cross-sector partnerships. Our goal: to help clients better understand the real impact of their social investments and improve the performance of interventions in poverty reduction, improved health and the broader well-being of people and communities in need. To this end, Jonathan and his associates:

Generate learning:  We assess what’s working (or not) and why, and apply the findings to help expand impact and make it more efficient.         

 

Guide strategy: We assess the critical path to achieving impact with an objective eye. Are objectives framed appropriately? Is the logic of how positive change will happen well understood and implemented?                

Document operations: We codify intervention practices and document results, identifying critical drivers to inform future planning and influence partners, policy-makers and funders.  

      

     Conduct due diligence: We research the situational landscape for start-up or expanding projects in new

       geographies, and help identify and screen prospective partners.
