The Impact Initiative

The Impact Lab

The Impact Lab seeks to strengthen links and create dialogue by providing an outline of the issues and clear lessons for knowledge practitioners, donors and researchers. The first outputs are an edited collection of articles and a series of Learning Guides which draw on the lessons for successful impact in areas previously identified as potential barriers to impact. Find out more or see our glossary of terms.
