How to Write an Impact Report

The African Venture Philanthropy Alliance (AVPA) hosted a Masterclass on How to Write an Impact Report. A dynamic panel of experts shared practical insights into building credible, accessible, and insightful impact reports, especially for early-stage and emerging fund managers. The session sparked important conversations about the “how” and “why” of good impact reporting and why getting it right matters.

What Makes a “Good” Report?

Some of the insights shared during the masterclass offer helpful structure for a strong impact report:

  • ✅ A clear description of the fund and investment thesis
  • ✅ Overview of processes used to identify and measure impact
  • ✅ Insight into both positive and negative outcomes
  • ✅ Metrics tied to targets and baselines, not just snapshots
  • ✅ A strong section on governance and accountability
  • ✅ Case studies that ground performance in real stories
