Social Value Aotearoa congratulates the nineteen participants who have completed the Social Value International Level 1 Associate Practitioner Training, held at Te Puna Hauora O Te Raki Paewhenua Health & Social Services.

The programme gave attendees a grounding in the principles of social value and impact management, alongside an introduction to Social Return on Investment (SROI). Over the course of the training, participants worked through key concepts of the SVI Framework, identifying stakeholders and outcomes, measuring and valuing change and moving from outcomes to impact. Before concluding with an open book Associate Exam.

Graduates now have the opportunity to gain internationally accredited certification as a Social Value International Level One Associate. The first step on the practitioner pathway toward full certification in SROI practice.

The training was led by facilitators Corey McAleese and Hinemoana Durie, whose guidance equipped participants with practical tools to measure and communicate the real difference their work makes.

Congratulations to all on this achievement, and on taking the first step toward building stronger, evidence-based social impact practice across their organisation.
