At H2O People, we are dedicated to making a meaningful impact in the water sector through our innovative and collaborative approaches. Our social impact initiatives are designed to engage and empower communities, stakeholders, and professionals. We utilize flexible frameworks, interactive tools, and co-creation methodologies to guide and facilitate our partners in achieving sustainable and inclusive outcomes.
Our Community Engagement Toolkit, for example, employs engaging methodologies such as the LEGO Serious Play method to foster creativity and collaboration among participants. This toolkit helps organization and communities in stakeholder mapping, needs analysis, project and outcome design, citizen engagement, and capacity building, ensuring that all voices are heared and valued.
Additionally, our Societal Impact Assessment framework allows us to measure and navigate the contributions of our collaborative efforts and research projects. By connecting our societal impact toolkit with tangible programs connecting a human centric approach with capacity building, we ensure that our initiatives lead to tangible, poitive changes across various scales and contexts.
Through these efforts, H2O People strives to build a more resilient and inclusive water sector, where every individual can contribute to and benefit from sustainable water management practices.
Our tools
Social Impact Strategy
Through a guided and interactive approach, we implement a structured series of tools aimed at engaging with and, ultimately, creating a community engagement toolkit focussed on a certain topic/issue/activity/area.
The tools include, but are not limited to, engaging methodologies and sessions for stakeholder mapping and analysis, needs analysis, challenge definition and analysis, capacity buidling/skills training.
We utilize, among other things, the LEGO Serious Play method, bringing forward the creative and fun side of all of us!
Societal Impact Assessment
Buiding on research in this domain of knowledge, we co-design with project partners and stakeholders a process which will allow us to navigate the contribution the collaborative effort and the research project(s) have on the actors and stakeholders involved.
The flexible design allows for assessing changes occured across scales and contexts. We attribute special attention to and address the impact of capacity development activities, capitalising on H2O People expertise in this domain of work. The framework can be coupled with the Community Engagement Toolkit for a holistic approach to striving for and assessing societal impact.
