This paper provides an overview of whether and how youth organizations and social enterprises in the three Baltic States — Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania — measure their impact and presents different examples to give other organizations tips for measuring their organization’s impact. The aim is to establish the experience for today and determine the aspects motivating organizations to assess their impact. In light of the current situation, the authors of the project seek to determine the impact measurement tools or instruments which would help organizations to measure their impact more effectively.

This paper summarizes the results of the first phase of the Project “BALTIC : YOUTH : IMPACT” jointly implemented by five partner organizations from the Baltic States with the aim to tackle the issue of social impact management by improving the knowledge and skills in social impact management and increasing its recognition in the Baltic States.
