Regenerative Measurement & Evaluation


For us, measuring impact is based on curiosity, joint learning, sharing knowledge, and applying methodologies that capture human complexity. It is an empowering process that reveals hidden opportunities and resources, creates a deeper understanding of yourself and others, and opens up scenarios for joint action.

Impact & program evaluation

We design holistic frameworks which help you use measurement and evaluation as opportunities to bring the purpose of your project or program to life.

Measuring capacity development

We enable you to measure what happens within people, teams and organisations, and to make those subtle yet relevant changes visible.

Rethinking impact measurement

We create supportive learning environments which make regenerative measurement and evaluation applicable for you and your organisation.

Our approach

We usually look at evaluation as a means to measure the effectiveness of our actions, our progress towards our goals. Yet when applied in a regenerative manner, evaluation can foster the health of the overall system, including accelerating learning and the flow of information, clarifying next steps, and deepening relationships.

We are passionate about creating supportive conditions and environments where individuals and organisations can thrive. Intentional and powerful gatherings in small or larger groups are an essential part of these conditions.

With humbleness, curiosity, and open ears, hearts and minds, we look at the status quo to clarify your starting point at the place, time and situation that you find yourself currently in.

Based on this understanding, we can bring our field-tested tools with us, or we can jointly develop and implement new formats around your topics and themes. We’re happy to offer the range – from acting as your sparring partners for consciously growing and testing new concepts, to all the fine-detail preparation needed for complex workshops.

We’re with you in the moment when these ideas come to life, and when they need consistent care and slow fostering. We can facilitate in person, online, or as a hybrid set-up. Our main working languages are English and German, with additional languages covered by our core team and network.

And here’s what we don’t do

Create dependencies on us. We want you to thrive from within.

Not listening to your needs to find out which mix of prepared & established modules and customised content is needed.

Shy away from naming relevant themes and topics. Change and growth can be challenging. Rather than avoiding tough conversations, we are committed to naming what matters – with care and kindness.

With Unity Effect, we have a partner who understands our approach very well and with whom we can tackle impact measurement and management (IMM) for our project in an agile and adaptive way. The regenerative impact measurement approach in particular fits very well with our vision at SEND e.V. Through close collaboration with Unity Effect and their outstanding support, we can learn a lot ourselves to build our own competence and expertise in the IMM area!

Martha Marik

Project Manager, SEND e.V.

Building on the benefits of the impact evaluation Unity Effect conducted for the programme in 2022, the organizing team pursued a similar analysis for its 2023 edition. This continuation permitted us to identify common trends and build on key recommendations, whilst also preserving the uniqueness of each edition and participant. The team continues to rely on Unity Effect’s expertise to adapt future editions.

Linda Peterhans

Programme Manager for Youth Leadership, Kofi Annan Foundation

The Unity Effect team offered an interactive workshop on impact measurement as part of our workshop series on social entrepreneurship. Designed as an introduction to the topic, they did a great job of conveying the theoretical building blocks and engaging participants through practical exercises. Impact measurement is a rather daunting topic for many. But thanks to Unity Effect, it became clear to participants why it is so relevant, how to put it into action and how to even have fun with it!

Impact & program evaluation

We design holistic frameworks which help you use measurement and evaluation as opportunities to bring the purpose of your project or program to life, reveal hidden synergies, and actively engage with the people and stakeholders around you.

Approached from a regenerative perspective, impact and program evaluation is a practice of deep listening. Drawing on our existing models and resources (see above), we can guide you in developing a comprehensive evaluation framework while focusing on what matters most to you.

Measuring capacity development

Measuring capacity development

You might have experienced this situation: after attending or facilitating a workshop or program, you and your colleagues feel that something has shifted. There is more trust and desire to collaborate, and individuals feel more motivated and connected to their purpose.

We enable you to measure what happens within people, teams and organisations, and to make those subtle yet relevant changes visible.

Rethinking impact measurement

What difference could it make for you and your organisation if measurement and impact evaluation were to serve you and the people you work with?

We invite you to step back, reflect on the role of measurement within your work, and reconceptualise your own approach to it – in line with your values and purpose.
