Social-Ecological Impact Assesment Tool
A tool to generate a graphical assesment for social-ecological projects
Version 1.0 (April 2021)
Overview
A tool to develop graphical analyses for Social-Ecological Innovation projects linking Theory of Change and Stakeholder Analysis methodologies with the Doghnuts Economics and SDG approaches
Why use it?
This tool is designed to assess the socio-ecological impact of projects and initiatives in a way that is both graphic and friendly, yet profound and accurate, so that it can become a useful tool for a wide range of users.
The tool can also be used to graphically represent the social-ecological impact of initiatives either before their implementation, during their design, during their development or after their completion.
Who is it for?
Because of its simplicity, the tool can be developed by a wide range of actors, e.g. facilitators, teachers, policymakers, entrepreneurs, consultants and others and does not require extensive knowledge or skills, although a minimum knowledge of the Doughnut Economics framework, Theory of Change and Stakeholder methodologies and the context of the SDGs is advisable.
How long does it take?
The duration of use is quite flexible and will depend on whether it is to be used exclusively to show the impact of the initiatives ex-post or whether it is chosen as a tool to accompany the design processes of the initiatives....
How many people is it for?
The tool can be developed exclusively by an individual person or by a larger group of people according to the needs of each process.
What materials do you need?
For inclusion in DEAL, a format has been prepared that can be developed in digital and/or analogue form according to the needs of the people who will implement it. For the analogue version, a good assortment of coloured pens is required.
What does the facilitator need to know or be able to do?
Knowledge of Doughnuts Economics, knowledge of Theory of Change and Stakeholder methodologies and SDGs.

For the last 15 years I have been working as a facilitator in territorial innovation and socio-ecological entrepreneurship, both as a facilitator of processes, as a trainer and mentor of social innovation projects or as a writer of several strategic territorial planning projects based on social innovation, both at regional and national level in Spain and internationally. As an independent researcher, I have developed several projects in which the Doughnut Economics model is always one of the strategic components. + info I am currently coordinating the BoraBeirã project in which the "LojaPlaneta" initiative is integrated.

Strategic designer focused on complex living systems change, working through economic and futures literacy and policy imagination. I like good questions, especially ones that resist a quick answer. Done lots of doughnut work in Ireland across municipalities and policy advisory (NESC, SEAI), communities, academic and educational, and cultural spaces too. I write submissions and policy papers that centralise doughnut economics and its practical principles as real solutions. I attended NED in 2026 as part of the WEALL Ireland Hub and Enviromental Pilar. I'm focused on how Ireland delivers transformative change to meet our 2030 & 2050 EU commitments and how in doing that we create a peoples transition.. Founder of Irish DE Network #IDEN 2000 - -2026. IDEN is no longer active.
