  1. Introduction to Outcome Mapping Terry Smutylo Evaluation Unit, IDRCIPDETJune 24, 2004

  2. Learning Objectives • Understand the main Outcome Mapping concepts; • Hear about different cases where OM has been used; and • Get a sense of whether OM could be useful in your own work

  3. Researcher Beneficiaries Connecting Research to Well-Being

  4. The Dilemma of Attribution • Everybody wants it, nobody deserves it! • Multiple actors and factors contribute

  5. What is Outcome Mapping? A methodology for planning, monitoring and evaluating that looks at both development results and internal performance helping a program to: • design interventions in relation to the broader context and assess within its sphere of influence • focus on changes in the behavior of partners (as outcomes) • recognize various contributions to the achievement of results

  6. Program’s Sphere of Influence = Program`s Partners The Real World Program

  7. Boundary Partners Those individuals, groups, & organizations with whom a program interacts directly to effect change & with whom the program can anticipate some opportunities for influence.

  10. Outcome Challenges Outcome Challenge Statements: • Describe the boundary partner`s contributions to the vision • Describe the ideal behavioural changes • Are about a single boundary partner

  11. Progress Markers = Change Ladder Love to see PMs Like to see PMs Expect to see PMs

  12. Why Graduated Progress Markers? • Articulate the complexity of the change process • Allow negotiation of expectations between the program and its partners • Permit on-going assessment of progress • Encourage the program to think about how it can intentionally contribute to the most profound transformation possible • Help identify mid-course corrections and improvements

  13. Progress Marker Checklist Each Progress Marker: • Describes a changed behaviour by the boundary partner • Can be monitored & observed As a set, Progress Markers: • Are graduated from preliminary to more profound changes in behaviour • Describe the change process of a single boundary partner
