Capability Development Model
Improving efficiency and effectiveness in creating social impact
Introduction
To help new entrants and seasoned practitioners make sense of available best practices and frameworks and overall increase their ability to create social impact in partnership with their investees, AVPN has developed the Capability Development Model (CDM).
The First Step
Pre-Engagement
This is the first step on the journey of social investing. It includes three activities: sourcing, screening (including due diligence) and structuring social investment deals.
Best Practices and Approach
Capacity Building
At the heart of social investing is an engaged approach with the funded organisation. Ideally what is provided by the social investor or resource provider matches what is needed by the SPO.
Measuring Social Mission
Impact Assessment
Measuring the outputs and outcomes of a social mission are crucial to understand how and if social missions are being achieved.
Value Clarity
Portfolio Management
Crucially, managing a portfolio requires clarity on which SPOs to add and which to exit and how to add value to the portfolio SPOs during their investment period.
Systematic Change
Multi-sector Collaboration
This practice area examines the different collaboration constellations between the social sector and business and government.
