Training on Outcome Mapping Methodology

Outcome Mapping (OM) is an innovative approach to planning, monitoring, and evaluating development programs that focuses on behavioral change among key partners rather than solely on long-term impacts. This course introduces participants to the principles, tools, and applications of OM to design programs that foster sustainable change. Participants will learn to identify boundary partners, define outcome challenges, develop progress markers, and track results in complex and dynamic environments. The training blends theory with hands-on exercises, ensuring participants can apply OM to their organizational and project contexts.
