Do you sometimes ask yourself whether you are measuring what matters?
This tool paper is relevant for implementers of civil society development interventions.
Outcome Mapping (OM) is a participatory method for planning, monitoring, and evaluating projects. It focuses om changes in behaviour with the people and institutions a project works with. OM follows the whole project cycle with tools for all parts of the cycle and has a strong focus on changes and behaviour.
If you choose this methodology, you choose to also add more emphasis on the changes that your project or programme seeks to foster. This is different from a quantitative monitoring framework where you count people and workshops.
