What The Class Is Saying

"Before the training, M&E felt like a donor requirement; now it's a tool for clarity and accountability. After attending FIT for IMPACT, I would recommend it to early to mid-career professionals in the development or social impact space who want to strengthen their capacity to design, track, and communicate the results of their work more effectively."

FIT for Impact Participant

"The program didn't hand me rigid directions, but it gave me adaptable tools, frameworks, and ways of thinking that now anchor our work with greater clarity and intentionality. I've also learned to think more systemically and inclusively — to move beyond my default ways of thinking."
