SOCIAL IMPACT AND INSTITUTIONAL STRENGTHENING
Strengthen what makes impact possible.
Socially-minded health initiatives face diverse challenges: responding to specific needs, expanding their reach, organizing capacities, and sustaining their results. At Stratesa, we support the development and strengthening of these projects through analysis, strategic planning, and evaluation, taking into account their purpose, context, and available resources.
A solid initiative needs clarity on what it seeks to transform, the capabilities it has, and how it will recognize its progress.
QUESTIONS THAT MATTER
How can we make our initiative go further?
Strengthening a health project with a social purpose requires making decisions about the needs it addresses, its priorities, the available resources, and the outcomes it seeks to achieve. These questions help focus that work.
01
Are we addressing the most relevant needs of our target population?
Understanding the context and needs of the people an initiative is aimed at allows for a review of its relevance, priorities, and opportunities for improvement.
02
Are we clear about the results we want to achieve?
Defining what changes are sought and how they relate to project activities helps to guide efforts and establish evaluation criteria.
03
What capabilities do we need to strengthen to sustain and expand our reach?
Developing an initiative may require reviewing its management model, resources, processes, coordination, and relationships with other stakeholders.
04
How do we know what's working and what we need to adjust?
Having relevant information and monitoring mechanisms allows us to recognize progress, identify lessons learned, and substantiate decisions for improvement.
AREAS OF INTERVENTION
