Primary Purpose
Social Return on Investment (SROI) is an outcomes-based measurement system that helps organisations to understand and quantify the social, environmental and economic value they are creating.
Developed from traditional cost-benefit analysis and social accounting, SROI is a participative approach that is able to capture in monetised form the value of a wide range of outcomes, whether these already have a financial value or not. An SROI analysis produces a narrative of
how an organisation creates and destroys value in the course of making change in the world, and a ratio that states how much social value (in ₦) is created for every ₦1 of investment.
