Unpacking Community Impact with Bhavik

Hi there 👋

Thank you for sticking with us.

So, why this topic? Well, in a world where "impact" gets thrown around like confetti, 🍃 it's easy to lose sight of what it really means.

We're diving deep into the State of Community Impact & Wellbeing with Bhavik Doshi, who's got some serious street cred in the development sector.

Buckle up for some real talk. Bhavik's journey from the UK to Ghana is a rollercoaster of eye-opening moments. He's asking the tough questions like, "Why should I evaluate a program if I don't understand the community?"

Here's the scoop: data's great, but if it's not collected right or analyzed properly, it's just numbers on a page.

And guess what?

You can't escape subjectivity in evaluation. It's all about embracing that community perspective.

Partnership Bureau is all about tackling the big issues: Power, Equity, and Access. Because let's face it, impact goes way beyond numbers.

So, what's community mean to you? Dive into the discussion and let us know.

Oh, and don't miss Bhavik's insights on the importance of community trust and why qualitative data is getting some serious side-eye from donors. It's a game-changer.
