Welcome to ANDE’s virtual Metrics from the Ground Up Learning Series!
Whether you missed our in-person conference in Nairobi or simply want to dive deeper into metrics and impact evaluation, this online series brings fresh, high-quality sessions straight to your screen.
Over the next couple months, we’ll spotlight diverse speakers and cutting-edge ideas that weren’t featured during our May 6–8 conference. Join us to continue building your knowledge and network within the impact measurement space!
Session Overview
Impact reporting is overdue for transformation. Today, organizations spend millions of hours compiling fragmented data across PDFs, spreadsheets, and siloed platforms—creating inefficiencies and limiting insight. In this interactive session, Vera Solutions will explore how emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and application programming interface (API) can reshape how we share and use impact data.
This workshop introduces a prototype for an API-enabled platform designed to streamline reporting, foster interoperability, and unlock greater value from impact data. Through live demonstrations and collaborative feedback, participants will help shape a tool that aims to reduce reporting burdens and create a more connected, transparent impact ecosystem.
You’ll gain insights into:
-
A hands-on look at a prototype impact data-sharing platform.
-
How API-driven tools can simplify reporting and reduce duplication.
-
Ways to improve data collaboration between funders, grantees, and partners.
-
Opportunities unlocked by structured, shareable impact data.
-
Providing feedback to inform platform development and sector alignment.

- Exclusive Content: These sessions feature brand-new topics and speakers not included in the in-person event.
- Expert Speakers: Learn from practitioners and thought leaders driving innovation in impact measurement.
- Interactive Format: While these are webinar-style sessions, we encourage active participation. Bring your questions and insights—we dig deep into the nuances of metrics, evaluation, and learning.
- Flexible & Free: Accessible from anywhere and offered at no cost to attendees.
