The use of impact assessment can be characterised on a scale with ‘proving impact’ on one side and ‘improving practices’ on the other. Even though this is not an either/or scale, the two often do not combine automatically. In this article an adjusted Sustainable Livelihood Framework for impact assessment is developed that does justice to both. The use of this framework has implications in terms of a multi-method research approach, an extensive variety of data collection, and an in-depth data analysis. This is illustrated by applying the framework to a socio-economic impact study conducted for the DE Foundation coffee support project. Évaluation de l'impact dans le cadre des moyens de subsistance durables L'utilisation de l’évaluation de l'impact peut être caractérisée sur une échelle comportant « prouver l'impact » d'un côté et « améliorer les pratiques de l'autre ». Bien qu'il ne s'agisse pas d'une échelle « soit... soit », souvent les deux ne se conjuguent pas automatiquement. Dans cet article, un Cadre des moyens de subsistance durables ajusté pour l’évaluation de l'impact est élaboré qui fait honneur aux deux. L'utilisation de ce cadre a des implications en termes d'une approche de recherches multiméthodes, d'une ample variété de collecte de données et d'une analyse approfondie des données. Cela est illustré par l'application du cadre à une récente étude de l'impact socio-économique menée par le projet de soutien au café de la DE Foundation. Avaliação de impacto na estrutura de meios de subsistência sustentáveis O uso da avaliação de impacto pode ser caracterizado por uma escala que contenha ‘impacto demonstrado’ de um lado e ‘aperfeiçoando as práticas’, de outro. Mesmo embora esta não seja uma escala com opções excludentes, as duas frequentemente não se combinam automaticamente. Neste artigo, desenvolve-se um Esquema de Meios de Subsistência Sustentáveis ajustado para avaliação de impacto que possa fazer justiça a ambas. O uso desse esquema possui implicações em termos de uma abordagem de pesquisa que adota vários métodos, que se baseia em uma extensa variedade de coleta de dados e uma análise de dados em profundidade. O esquema é ilustrado aplicando-o a um estudo de impacto sócio-econômico recente conduzido para o projeto de apoio ao café da Fundação DE. Evaluación de impacto en el marco para los medios de vida sostenibles Si la evaluación de impacto pudiera medirse en una escala, uno de sus extremos sería ‘comprueba el impacto’ y el otro ‘mejora las prácticas’. Si bien esta escala no mediría ninguno de los dos factores, no es fácil detectar cómo se pueden combinar. Este ensayo propone un Marco para los Medios de Vida Sostenibles que incorpora los dos factores. El uso de este marco tiene repercusiones en el enfoque multimétodos para la investigación, en las diversas formas que existen para recopilar datos y en el análisis profundo de los datos. Para ejemplificar lo anterior, se aplicó el marco a un estudio reciente sobre el impacto socioeconómico de un proyecto de la Fundación DE que apoya a productores de café
