2. 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

3. Outcome Mapping: Pros Conceptually Easy to Accept
Responds to Many Measuring Needs

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”

5. 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

6. 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)
