Build the Impact Measurement Standard Nigerian Social Enterprises Actually Use

Impact measurement in Nigeria's social enterprise sector is either non-existent or over-engineered. Small enterprises are asked to collect data they cannot afford to analyse. Donors demand SROI calculations that require consultants. The middle ground — a credible, lightweight, standardised approach that enterprises can do themselves and donors can trust — does not exist for Nigerian contexts. Your challenge is to design an impact measurement standard for Nigerian social enterprises in three sectors (education, health, or agriculture — choose three) that is completable by an enterprise with two full-time staff in under four hours per quarter, generates reports that international donors consider credible, and uses only data that enterprises can collect without specialist tools. Submit a standard design document (max 12 pages) including: the indicator framework for each sector, the data collection tools, the reporting template, how the standard is validated against international frameworks (e.g. IRIS+), how enterprises are trained to use it, and a plan to adopt 100 social enterprises in the first year. Judging criteria: 35% indicator quality and alignment with international frameworks, 30% usability for two-staff enterprises, 20% donor credibility design, 15% enterprise adoption plan.
