48 <strong>Measuring</strong> <strong>Impact</strong> – Case-studies of impact assessment<br />
Findings 7.3<br />
This section highlights the themes that arose from the interviews and in turn facilitated the<br />
formulation of indicators. Findings are broken down into categories: human capital, social<br />
capital, and other elements of impact.<br />
Each category is divided into themes, or types of impact. Each of these themes is represented<br />
by three indicators (more indicators were possible, but excluded here for the sake of brevity).<br />
Each of these indicators is related to the five sets of stakeholders in the key below. The cells<br />
that are ticked show that the indicator is applicable to that stakeholder.<br />

7.3.1 Human capital<br />
Self-esteem and self-confidence: Self-esteem and self-confidence were probably very low due to the<br />
continued civil unrest in Ardoyne, a problem AFG has tackled and improved. For instance AFG<br />
has helped many community groups to get started. As one stakeholder said, “the greatest thing<br />
you can do for someone is to let people think that they have done it themselves”. These indicators<br />
summarise how AFG is seen by groups and individuals in terms of building confidence.<br />
