More details about the launch of the network are in the pipeline, but it must be acknowledged that the momentum for a network of this kind in Indonesia has been inspiring to witness. "As a social activist, the presence of SROI provides a strong hope that any tangible or intangible impact can be properly identified, measured and communicated to all stakeholders. Of course this will encourage more and more parties to play a role in improving life." Want to become an Accredited Social Value Practitioner?

New blog by Jeremy Nicholls: Managing impact, the conundrum for impact investors (and other funders). At least if you are an enterprise delivering products or services. However, there is very little designed specifically for investors and grant makers and the general assumption seems to be that investors, grant makers and enterprises can all use the same approach and so the same guidance. In reality they face very different challenges and recognising these means that investors would take a very different approach to managing the impact in their portfolios.
