Four Tools for Assessing Grantee Contribution to Advocacy Efforts
A brief from the Center for Evaluation Innovation for funders and evaluators who back advocacy. Policy wins usually come from many actors, so it is hard to say what one grantee added. The brief gives 4 tools for judging a single grantee's contribution to a shared advocacy effort. Funders can use the tools at the start of a grantee relationship to agree expectations, or at the end of a grant to review results.

Longitudinal evaluation of BUILD
The final report of an evaluation of the Ford Foundation's BUILD initiative, which gave grantees flexible multi-year funding and capacity support. It covers 289 grantee partners from the 2016 to 2019 cohorts, using a survey with 110 responses, 27 interviews, 4 focus groups and document review. Findings show BUILD helped impact and resilience, a second grant consolidated gains, and grantees need clear, timely word on future funding.

Transactions, Transformations, Translations
A report for funders and movement groups on how to measure movement building. It argues for metrics that capture both transactional and transformational change, with a matrix across 10 movement-building strategies. It looks beyond single organisations to whether groups can act together as a larger force, and asks that measures be co-created with the field. Recommendations cover new measures, capacity to use them, leadership development and movement-level metrics.
