Resumen

Durante los últimos años se han elaborado numerosos estudios sobre la necesidad de que las entidades del Tercer Sector de Acción Social (TSAS) desarrollen habilidades para comunicar y demostrar sus resultados y la eficiencia en el desempeño de su actividad. En este proceso, la monitorización y la evaluación se convierten en actividades claves para hacer partícipes a los distintos grupos de interés del impacto por ellas generado. Junto a esto, la sociedad ha vivido una evolución digital que ha generado cambios profundos en todos los ámbitos, grupos e individuos.Partiendo de un análisis realizado desde la teoría institucional y la teoría de la dependencia de recursos para poner en valor la importancia que adquiere este proceso dentro del contexto de los requerimientos de los financiadores y de los grupos de interés en general, planteamos la necesidad de identificar las nuevas herramientas digitales y formas de trabajo con las mismas que pueden apoyar la realización de la evaluación en las entidades del TSAS y que ésta sea de utilidad para el cumplimiento de la misión y los objetivos de las organizaciones. Analizamos el caso de Juntos por el Empleo, iniciativa promovida por la Fundacion Accenture junto a varias organizaciones sociales, empresas y administraciones públicas, cómo práctica de interés en la implementación de nuevas herramientas digitales que han facilitado el trabajo compartido de gestión y evaluación de sus proyectos sociales. El enfoque de impacto colectivo se descubre como una nueva forma, colaborativa y estructurada, necesaria para abordar los problemas a los que se enfrenta el TSAS.
