Built for social enterprises, NGOs, foundations, and sustainable brands across MENA and Africa. A locally-designed standard for proving impact in regions that global frameworks were never written for.
Funders need verified impact. Regulators are mandating it. The frameworks the world relies on — IRIS+, IMP, IFC, GRI, SROI — were designed for global capital markets, not for the realities of impact organizations operating in Casablanca, Cairo, Riyadh, Nairobi, or Dakar…
The IMMCF closes that gap. It is the impact measurement, management, and communication standard built specifically for organizations across MENA and Africa — aligned with the global frameworks funders already trust, designed for the regional contexts they were never meant to serve.
The IMMCF organizes impact work into three connected layers. Most frameworks stop at measurement. Most communications agencies start at communication. The IMMCF connects all three — so what you measure, manage, and communicate is the same evidence base.
Define your impact thesis. Select indicators. Collect evidence. Verify quality. The measurement layer turns activities into outcomes you can defend.
Use measurement to make decisions. Identify what’s working, what’s not, and what to change. The management layer turns evidence into improvement.
Translate your evidence into credible reports, stories, and disclosures. The communication layer turns improvement into reach, funding, and partnerships.
The IMMCF applies to every impact organization through a Universal Core — the foundational indicators, principles, and reporting structure that apply to any mission, in any sector. Sector Modules extend the Core with context-specific indicators, examples, and reporting templates for the sectors where impact organizations across MENA and Africa concentrate.
Carbon, biodiversity, water, circular economy, climate adaptation
Access, quality, outcomes, equity, youth empowerment
Inclusion, livelihoods, market access, financial sustainability
Economic, social, political, leadership, gender equity
The IMMCF does not replace the global frameworks. It maps to them — so an organization measuring against the IMMCF can simultaneously report to funders requiring IRIS+ indicators, IFC Operating Principles, GRI standards, or SROI methodology, without redoing the underlying work.
