IMGA Impact Manual

The International Masters Games Association (IMGA) is the representative body of sport masters worldwide. It promotes lifelong competition, friendship and understanding between mature sportspeople, regardless of age, gender, race, religion, or sport status. 

IMGA commissioned Event Host Evaluation consultants to create a set of key performance indicators tailored to IMGA events which provide hosts and organisers with the necessary guidance on data gathering for the assessment and reporting of the impact of IMGA events.

The IMGA Impact Manual created by EHE will be used by event hosts and organisers to ensure the continued delivery of positive impacts and to strengthen and grow the Masters’ sports movement. This manual is part of a process of modernisation that the IMGA started in the spring of 2021. IMGA’s organisational transition has sustainability at the core and aims to ensure that its events are planned around the 3 P’s of sustainability: People, Planet and Prosperity. 

Impact assessment and reporting are fundamental to ensuring that events continuously and increasingly deliver the best possible outcomes to local communities, hosts and stakeholders.
