Outcome mapping: A method for tracking behavioural changes in development programmes.

Outcome mapping is a methodology for planning, monitoring and evaluating development initiatives that aim to bring
about social change. The process of outcome mapping helps a project team or program to be specific about the actors
it targets, the changes it expects to see and the strategies it employs. Results are measured in terms of the changes in
behaviour, actions or relationships that can be influenced by the team or program. The methodology is comprised of
several tools, which can be adapted to different contexts. It enhances team and program understanding of change
processes, improves the efficiency of achieving results and promotes realistic and accountable reporting.
