Learning from imGoats experiences with Outcome Mapping. Plan. Outcome Mapping & its role in imGoats. OM is a method/approach for P, M&E
E N D
Outcome Mapping & its role in imGoats • OM is a method/approach for P, M&E • Focuses on behaviour changes in boundary partners; what Boundary Partners are doing differently and how their relationships with each other are changing • OM involves identifying key changes (for each BP) that imGoats believes lie along the pathway to impacts (e.g., well-functioning value chain, increased producer incomes, favourable policy environment) • In imGoats the main role envisioned for OM wasto enable the gathering of timely monitoring data for project management and generate information relevant to evaluation P M E
Outcome Mapping & its purpose in imGoats OM is intended to help answer key Qs: • At the design stage • Broadly speaking, what would total success look like? (Vision) • How can imGoats best support achievement of the vision? (Mission) • With whom are we working directly / intending to influence? (Boundary Partners) • Ideally, in order to contribute to the vision, how would the boundary partner be behaving? (Outcome statements) • What changes do we expect to see in BPs as a direct result of our efforts? What further changes would we like and love to see? (Progress Markers) • During implementation • Are we on the right track towards the outcomes that we intend to contribute towards? (Monitoring) • What unexpected changes are occurring? • What changes in our strategies are needed in order to get on track? (Decision-making/project management) • To enable/support evaluation • Well-documented evidence of change along credible pathways to expected impacts

Session Guidance: Key Q: How did we put OM into practice? Principles: • No right/wrong way…not an evaluation or a competition! • Our aim is to learn as much as possible from experience • Much interest in learning from creative uses of the methodology in the OM community Process: • Sit together in teams: Raj, Moz, Jar • Drawing on your team meetings last week, prepare a short presentation on how you put OM (or other monitoring) into practice (up to 50 mins; less is better, leaving more time for presentation and discussion) • Three presentations: Raj, Moz, Jar (max 25 mins each) using ≥1 presenters w/ flip charts, PPT, or other visuals (It’s up to you) • Tea break mid afternoon (Ewen keeping time) • Discussion (30 mins) • Sum up: Key points and emerging questions (volunteer, 5 mins) • Leave enough time (~10 mins) for a final non-OM activity at the end of the day
Session Guidance: Key Q: How did we put OM into practice? Principles: • Share the story of how your team put OM into practice • Leave the details of 1) what went well and less well ; 2) what you learned about changes in behaviour of boundary partners; and 3) what you would do differently in the future for upcoming sessions Qs that may help you tell your story: • What did you see as the role/importance of OM? Or…What did you do instead and why? • What modifications did you make to the progress markers (PMs) and why? • How did you plan to gather monitoring data (on PMs, if used) and what actually happened in practice? • How did you plan to manage and analyse the monitoring data (on PMs, if used) and what actually happened in practice?
