| Summary: | The outcome harvesting approach is
adapted from the outcome mapping community, with an outcome
defined as a significant change in the behavior,
relationships, activities, or actions of the people, groups,
communities, or organizations with whom a program works
directly. By identifying and monitoring those changes that
fall within the sphere of influence of a program,
practitioners can understand the many often non-linear
streams of outcomes that characterize that program s
contribution toward a development goal. Harvesting program
information for outcome-based learning is a
stakeholder-centered process that captures qualitative,
tacit knowledge. The process includes substantiating and
analyzing harvested knowledge collaboratively to communicate
progress toward impact to clients, management, and partners.
Tools are flexible to adapt to a program s design and can
provide useful details to inform the theory of change,
implementation lessons, outcomes, and indicators. |
