How to Create Simple KPIs for Small Organizations

KPIs are not for large organizations only

Many leaders believe that measuring impact is complex, expensive or only for large NGOs.
But any organization — no matter its size — can create simple, practical, and transformative KPIs.

A KPI is just a clear way to answer:
How do we know if we're accomplishing what we said we'd do?

What a good KPI must have

An effective KPI is:

• simple: easy to measure and understand

• specific: applies to a specific programme

• useful: helps make decisions

• ethical: respect dignity and privacy

Types of KPIs that any NGO can use

1. Scope KPIs

How many people did you get?
Example: number of participants in workshops.

2. KPIs of change

What changed in people's lives.
Example: percentage of young people who improved school performance.

3. Quality KPIs

How well the show was delivered.
Example: satisfaction of participants.

4. Efficiency KPIs

How you use your resources.
Example: cost per participant.
