CAG Consultants & Climate Action Leeds - evaluation and learning of a collective impact initiative

CAG Consultants are leading the evaluation of the Climate Action Fund for The National Lottery Community Fund. They are also the evaluators working with Climate Action Leeds. They needed a platform that gave them the ability to collect qualitative and quantitative impact data as well as the flexibility to adjust their impact measurement framework over time.

The Client

CAG Consultants work with a wide range of clients from the public, private and third sector to to help develop informed policies and strategies relating to environmental, economic and social sustainability. They provide evidence-based research, advice and engagement for their clients.

Their programme, Climate Action Leeds, is a five-year programme that aims to shape a zero carbon, nature friendly and socially just Leeds by the 2030s. Their approach focuses on mobilising communities, campaign groups and different sectors to plan and act together on climate change in Leeds and beyond.

The Challenge

Climate Action Leeds is a partnership programme run by several organisations with dozens of other organisations involved. Each organisation needed to be able to capture data about what they are doing to advance climate responsibility in Leeds. Initially, all this was being gathered and stored in separate places.

How they use Makerble

Makerble is one central place for them to store and review monitoring and evaluation data. CAG can easily see survey results for every strand of the project. And the partners responsible for each project can see the survey results for their specific strand without being overwhelmed by the data from all the other projects.
