Seva Sankalp, an NPO, wants to show its funders whether its health camps made a lasting change in village health. Which approach to impact assessment best fits this goal under the social impact assessment approach followed for the Social Stock Exchange?

The NPO should assess the change in beneficiaries' situation attributable to its programme using defined indicators tracked over time. Counting camps or reporting spending shows only inputs and outputs, and a statement of intent is not evidence of lasting change.
