Organizations invest a great deal of financial, human and intellectual capital toward achieving investment and project objectives. DevDesign  is able to create an accurate accounting of the returns on these investments. The returns are expressed as a combination of qualitative, quantitative and monetized measures of the impacts that directly result from  investments.  The Social Return on Investment (SROI)  process is an effective method of evaluation that links program outcomes with whole-system impacts, providing a comparison between the cost of development (program investment) and the benefit (social return).   Measuring, evaluating and understanding impacts within the context of program outcomes is a cyclical process that flows from strategic planning through program design  and implementation, and feeds back into the planning process.  A comprehensive, integrated SROI evaluation process enables organizations to better target their programs to achieve impacts and returns that are intentional, cost-effective and long-lasting.
