Limitation
• Changes in participants over the period when they have been joining the programme could not be captured, due to: • The programme is with 3-year history before this assessment
• Retrospective approach is not much possible, as participants are too young in age to be able to trace their changes with a reasonable level of reliability
• No temporal baseline could be set, as there are new-comers every year and no annual assessment is being conducted
• Instead of going backward in time, this assessment focuses on identifying variables for explaining how changes may be possible

Positive impact to the organizer
Understand the role of the partners for programme development
Trust build to the children and youth from vulnerable families
Foster competences in planning activities and programme in responding to the needs of the targeted beneficiaries
Potential in creating more social impact with further engagement with the mentors and mentees
26
New World Springboard (2012-2015) Highlights of Social Impact Assessment (SIA)
Potentials to create more social impact
• It is found that the majority of parents are having moderate parental confidence. Given that parent is one of the beneficiaries in the programme, though not as direct as that of children and youth, the organizer still has room for creating more impact on this targeted group.
• It is good that the programme tries to engage staff of New World Group as mentors to provide life coaching for participants, but the level of their engagement is still shallow, resulting in limited impact on some participants.
27
Measures for further consideration
• Debriefings for participants on what is and how to deal with the result of competitions / adaptation to the advanced class – Since the trainings and competitions are competitive in nature, participants have the
needs to learn more about how to see “winning” and accept “losing”. Some briefing and/or debriefing sessions could be arranged to help participants prepare themselves for or deal with winning and losing.
• Empower parents for nurturing their children
– As parents are important in children’s development, more activities could be arranged to improve parents’ parenting skills and confidence.
• Release staff ‘s capability on programme development
– Given the current arrangement, the responsible staff are highly occupied by administrative work. Indeed, some data management could be done by partnering NGOs with agreement. With more time, the staff can concentrate on designing the programme which will undoubtedly be beneficial to beneficiaries.
