In 2024, Giving Women celebrates with great pride its 15th anniversary. We have seen our community steadily grow to over two hundred members, and beyond, with partners and projects globally. To date, we have worked with over 75 projects on 5 continents. Each year we recognise the value that our community brings to projects working to improve the lives of women and girls.
So come and get to know other Giving Women members and the exciting work they are all doing, and be inspired over a light Apero at our offices.
On this occasion, we will dedicate a space to ActionAid and its experience in promoting women’s rights in Malawi, featuring the ActionAid team and two guests from Malawi.
Guests:
Yandura Chipeta, Country Director, ActionAid Malawi
Mezia Chigango, recipient of ActionAid projects and member of the Kasumbu Women Forum Malawi
Claudia Vitali, Philanthropy and Partnerships, AA Italy and Switzerland
Caterina Ghislandi, Head of Institutional and High Value Funding, AA Italy and Switzerland
For additional context about the Forum, it is a group of passionate women and young girls committed to promoting sustainable socio-economic development, with a particular focus on women’s issues.

Geneva Workshop: Social Impact Management
2026-09-06 09:05
Social Impact Management Measuring impact is essential to the success of any development or humanitarian programme. It is important to ensure that the desired outcomes are being achieved and key learnings are being integrated into your programme.
We are very lucky to have Tanya Murphy, a Giving Women member and expert in social impact management, who recently released an ITC SMA Trade Academic course: How to measure and manage your social impact.
WORKSHOP OUTLINE:
In this workshop we will explore why social impact management is important and how to use a simple methodology to support the grassroots projects we work with. We will learn how to create SMART impact KPIs (key performance indicators). We will also learn about the 3-step impact management cycle: capture and collect, store and analyse, and learn and communicate. As always we will apply our new learnings to real examples so as to ensure we have integrated our new knowledge effectively.
As always, the workshop will be delivered in two parts with a dinner provided half-way through the workshop.
In advance of the workshop to get the most out of it please come up with a few indicators from your own project / Project circle’s project that we can work on and improve. An indicator is a means to help understand and measure whether a project is moving toward the intended results, outcome or impact.
