The Somali Youth Development Resource Center (SYDRC) plays a crucial role in assisting Somali youth by helping to create opportunities and teaching healthy life habits. Through their various activities, they have a substantial impact on the greater community. However, there was no streamlined method to effectively record and report their impacts back to funders and stakeholders. To address this issue, we conducted field research, surveyed attendees, and interviewed multiple audiences to collect data. We found that co-development approaches with diverse stakeholders and a centralized reporting system were crucial to an effective reporting model. In response, we developed an impact assessment framework tailored to the needs of the SYDRC to guide them in their reporting processes.
