During the project on the activity of the Abruzzo CAVs, an assessment of the so-cial impact of the most active network node was carried out in terms of covering the needs for intervention to protect and support victims of violence. A case study was carried out in the Municipality of Pescara carried out according to an eval-uation approach that integrates the Theory of the program with the Theory of im-plementation. In terms of output, this activity produces an analysis of the social impact of the Ananke Anti-violence Center on the municipal area and a territorial analysis of the social value produced by initiatives to combat violence. The eval-uative research activity has made it possible to distinguish the context situations that facilitate or hinder the promotion of social impact and highlighted the other mechanisms that have proved to be useful in terms of greater impact of the pro-jects carried out by the CAV of Pescara.
