The Context • Planning Based Mainly on Logical Framework • Focus on Activities and Products • Impact Measurement • M&E mainly as Performance Measurement • Used as a “Control” Tool • Creates Uneasiness on Operative Base
Outcome Mapping: Pros • Conceptually Easy to Accept • Responds to Many Measuring Needs • Qualitative Variables • Complexity of Human Behaviour • Sustainability of Human Processes
Outcome Mapping: Cons • Same Challenges as Any Other Qualitative Measurement System • Seen as a Complex System • Requires Total Commitment of User • Donors not too Open to Accept OM • Time Consuming • Vocabulary • New Terms Create Resistance • No Such Thing as “Socio Directo”
Outcome Mapping: Achievements • At Least Four of our Boundary Partners are Experimenting with Aspects of OM • Strategic Planning • Project M&E • Academia • Three of our Projects use OM as Main M&E Tool
Outcome Mapping Challenges • Flexibility on Application • Flexibility on Vocabulary • Education to Donors about Usefulness of OM • Better Coupling of OM to Logical Framework and Results Based Management (RBM)
