Our impact – measuring our results

How we measure our impact, continuously improve, and design our projects to achieve the greatest possible positive outcomes.

Measure. Evaluate. Learn.

To continuously enhance our efforts, we evaluate our work in collaboration with qualified evaluators and institutes. We also support our clients in measuring the impact of their work. The insights gained enable us and our clients to learn and constantly improve our work to further improve our projects’ effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability in close collaboration with partners. This ensures that our work achieves the greatest possible positive impact.

Current evaluations

Evaluation of the Knauf Training Initiative

The Knauf Training Initiative (KTI) aims to enhance technical skills and career prospects in drywall construction for young people, students, and professionals in emerging markets. By establishing training centres, KTI provides both practical and theoretical education to improve employability. The project is supported by us as DEG Impulse through the develoPPP Classic programme.

We have commissioned CEval GmbH to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of KTI Phase I (2018-2023) and Phase II (2021-2026).The assessment especially examines the initiative’s relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, and sustainability, as well as the additional impact generated through DEG Impulse’s support. Using theory based mixed methods design, the evaluation delivers key insights and actionable recommendations to further strengthen the initiative.
