Economic Impact CBC

led by The Centre for Market and Public Organisation, University of Bristol

This third Capacity Building Cluster has just been announced. It will focus on the economic impact of the third sector and will be led by the University of Bristol.

Initial projects are being developed with New Philanthropy Capital, Charities Aid Foundation and South West Forum. A range of new partnerships will be developed over the next four years.

Dr Sarah Smith, who will lead the project, said:

‘There is growing interest in the effectiveness of third-sector organisations, particularly compared to public or private-sector providers. As economists, we have an important contribution to make to the debate – a distinctive framework for analysis and a set of statistical tools for evaluation. We are very excited at working with – and learning from – third-sector organisations in applying this knowledge in practice.’
