Presented by The Sidebar and co-organized by Ashoka, this conversation will explore what it takes to measure impact when outcomes are nonlinear, shared, and constantly evolving. How do we track progress when the baseline keeps shifting, especially in fragile or chaotic contexts? What does it mean to measure systems impact in real time, and how can we balance rigor with practicality?
We will also examine the tensions between what different stakeholders value, from donor reporting requirements to community-defined outcomes, and what ethical, useful measurement looks like in practice. Bringing together perspectives from across sectors, including financial inclusion, conservation, and humanitarian work, this session invites participants to rethink how we define and measure impact in a more complex world.
Join us at this Skoll World Forum 2026.
