Welcome
ImpactMojo is a free learning platform built for people working in development across South Asia — the educators, evaluators, programme managers, researchers, and students who are doing the hard, important work of making communities healthier, more equitable, and more resilient.

Why ImpactMojo Exists
If you work at an NGO, a think tank, or a university department focused on development, you already know the problem: high-quality training in monitoring & evaluation, research methods, gender analysis, or development economics is either expensive, inaccessible, or designed for audiences in the Global North.
ImpactMojo was built to close that gap. Everything here is:
Rooted in South Asian realities — examples from India, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka, not textbook cases from other contexts
Free at the core — all 48 courses, 12 simulation games, 10 interactive labs, and hundreds of handouts are available without paying a rupee
Designed for practitioners — not abstract theory, but content you can use in your next workshop, field visit, or strategy meeting
Available offline — because we know internet connections in the field aren't always reliable
Multilingual — available in English, Hindi, Tamil, Bengali, Telugu, and Marathi
No login is required to start learning. Just open the website and begin.
Who Is This For?
NGO programme staff looking to strengthen their M&E skills or train their teams
University students studying development, public policy, economics, or social work
Researchers who want practical tools alongside rigorous frameworks
Consultants designing evaluations, theories of change, or gender audits
Government officials working on social programmes and public health
Anyone curious about how development actually works on the ground
What You'll Find Here
ImpactMojo is much more than a course library. Here's what's available:

Interactive Labs
10 browser-based workbenches where you can build frameworks, analyse data, and produce real outputs (like a theory of change diagram or a research question) step by step.
Handouts
400+ downloadable pages organized by track — ready to print, share in a training, or assign as pre-reading.
ImpactLex
