IASS Tuesday Talks: „Impact-Driven and Action-Based Research Project (IMPACT-R) – Background, Goals, Activities, and Methods“

„Impact-Driven and Action-Based Research Project (IMPACT-R) –
Background, Goals, Activities, and Methods“

Abstract:
Understanding the needs of the population, beyond national statistics, is crucial to achieving sustainable development without leaving anyone behind. Despite the awareness of the role of evaluation, the monitoring of progress at the household level remains a major challenge for academia and the public and private (investors, NGOs, financial institutions, and small and medium enterprises) sectors.

IASS’s IMPACT-R (Impact-Driven & Action-Based Research: Establishing Collaborative Frameworks for Researchers, Impact Makers, and Sustainable Entrepreneurs) project, led by the Klaus Töpfer Sustainability Fellow Dr.-Ing. Natalia Realpe Carrillo, aims to contribute to the interdisciplinary field of impact assessment in the sector of sustainable development, focusing on achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that are directly related to access to energy (SDG7), clean water and sanitation (SDG6), and food security (SDG2).

The goal of the project is to establish strong links between researchers and practitioners, especially in developing countries, investigating innovative assessment methodologies to enable different stakeholders (research institutions, local communities, development organizations, and international investors) to: (i) understand the needs of vulnerable populations; (ii) analyze the market with respect to different products and services; and (iii) establish procedures for organizations to track their achievements according to the latest standards.

Upon the successful completion of the call for tenders for conducting a series of data collection projects, and prior to starting these projects in Latin America, Africa, and South Asia, Natalia is going to share more information about the overall IMPACT-R project, including the goals, planned activities, and methods. Participants and organizations interested in joining and collaborating are welcome to attend.
