 OUTCOME MAPPING |
| Methodology of evaluating a program that takes into consideration one specific type of result: Outcomes as behavioral change. Outcomes are defined as changes in the behavior, relationships, activities, or actions of the people, groups, and organizations with whom a program works directly. Outcome mapping concerns only the results that can be considered as direct effects of the program. This methodology is a way of monitoring the activities of an organization and helps to evaluate them in a more organized way, since it makes people conscious of the effect of their job. Outcome mapping can be used at the program, project, or organizational level. It is divided into three steps:[1] |
| Steps | Content |
|---|---|
| Intentional Design | Helps a program establish consensus on the macro level changes it will help to bring about and plan the strategies it will use |
| Outcome and Performance Monitoring | Provides a framework for the ongoing monitoring of the program’s actions and the boundary partners’ progress toward the achievement of -outcomes. It is based largely on systematized self-assessment |
| Evaluation Planning | Helps the program to identify evaluation priorities and develop an evaluation plan |
