 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 | On a macro level, this step helps a program to build consensus on the changes it has provoked. |
| Outcome and Performance Monitoring | This step concerns the monitoring of the program’s actions and of the boundary partners’ progress. It is based mainly on systematized self-assessment |
| Evaluation Planning | This step helps the program to develop an evaluation plan through the identification of evaluation priorities. |
