Time Savings Benefits Time saved as a result of a project, or project activity is often cited as a key community impact indicator or project benefit. In the following example from a dam rehabilitation project, participants suggested that the time saved on domestic water collection was an important project benefit. Using the same concept as “before” and “after” scoring but without the counters, and using minutes as a standard unit of measurement, project participants were simply asked how much time they spent each day collecting water before the construction of the dam, and how much time they spent on this activity now. The responses were recorded, and the radar diagram below (figure 4.5) provides a visual illustration of the results from eight respondents.
