Outcomes-Based Evaluation

Outcomes-Based Evaluation is a way of assessing whether a program or project has achieved its desired results. Instead of just measuring activities or processes, it focuses on the actual impact—such as improved skills, behaviors, or conditions—that occur as a result. This approach helps organizations understand if their efforts are making a meaningful difference, guiding future decisions and improvements. It emphasizes clear goals and tracks progress toward those goals, ensuring that resources are used effectively to produce beneficial outcomes.
