About Tūhono Impact

Tūhono Impact is a free, open-source learning and impact tool developed to support organisations across Aotearoa New Zealand to better understand, reflect on, and demonstrate the impact of their mahi.

Grounded in the five elements of He Mara Mahi Tahi, the tool is part of Inspiring Communities’ wider commitment to strengthening community-led development practice across Aotearoa. The framework and content were developed by Powerdigm, the for-purpose research and consultancy arm of Inspiring Communities.
