Implementation of the tool by trained civil society organizations and implementation of advocacy campaigns/actions
With the support of KMOP, at least 10 civil society organizations will implement the tool in their area of interest, with the aim to evaluate projects and actions of public or private actors and record their social impact. Organizations will use the results of the evaluation to carry out advocacy campaigns/actions aimed at changing policies, actions and practices, defending rights and strengthening the “voice” of social groups experiencing marginalization and exclusion. In addition, advisory support will be provided to the 10 organizations (and other organizations concerned) for the effective use of the evaluation tool. Moreover, at least 2 campaigns or advocacy actions will be carried out to ensure the wider dissemination of the project results.

Evidence-based advocacy activities
Two advocacy actions were organized, gathering more than 100 participants consisting of employees, volunteers, and stakeholders from civil society. These events aimed to emphasize the significance of measuring social impact, highlighting how this value can be effectively quantified and identifying the data required for this purpose. Additionally, the advocacy actions shed light on the innovative features of the digital tool "Archimedes."

Research
To enhance the tool's advancement, the research team of the ARCHIMEDES project decided, based on the feedback received from participating agencies in both the pilot actions and training sessions on tool utilization, that additional quantitative data is necessary, specifically for specific regions within the country. As a result, a comprehensive questionnaire consisting of 110 questions was proposed to collect and document supplementary data at the municipal level. The statistical sample was defined at 1,200 responses, utilizing random sampling and population parameterization, with data collection conducted via telephone interviews estimated to take approximately 35 minutes to complete.
