Impact Assessment Design

Founded in 1995, the Jordan River Foundation (JRF) aims to improve the qual­ity of life of all Jordanians, particularly women and children, through its two national programs, the Child Safety Program (CSP) and the Community Empowerment Program (CEP). While JRF is widely recognized for its work, the organization wanted to quantify its impact. JRF commissioned the Capstone team to design an impact assessment methodology to measure the effectiveness of its two core programs. The Capstone team developed a toolkit that included theories of change, logic models, and a menu of indicators and assessments. These technical support resources will be used by JRF to improve program design, generate donor support, and inform strategic decisions.
