Collective Impact is an approach to tackling a particular social issue that brings together different stakeholders and groups to align forces and efforts. It is a way to organize individuals and organizations in order to best utilize each other’s strengths and achieve more than is possible separately. Members define their common agenda, develop a consistent communication system, mutually reinforcing activities, and shared measurement strategies, and coordinate these efforts with the support of a backbone organization.
