Ebrima Saidy, Chief Impact Officer of Save the Children International, discusses the importance and diversity of the increasingly-prominent role of the Chief Impact Officer.
At a time when many more organisations are appointing Chief Impact Officers, we consider what the role actually does, what it entails, where Chief Impact Officers come from, and what qualifications and experience they bring with them.
In 2022, Save the Children International directly reached 48.8 million children in 116 countries around the world. They responded to 107 emergencies in 66 countries, reaching 34.4million people including 18.8million children. They also contributed to 129 significant changes and implementation of policy or legislation change related to the most marginalised and deprived groups of children in different countries, regions and internationally.
