This document discusses the differences between outputs and outcomes. It defines outputs as the final products or services delivered, while outcomes are the consequences of achieving those outputs. Key points include: - Outcomes make work more effective through role clarity, motivation, saving time, and better information systems. - Setting up tasks and measurement processes are important for tracking outputs. - A project moves from outputs like completed work, to outcomes as changes occur, and ultimately benefits at a higher level. - Starting with desired outcomes allows working backwards to determine the means to achieve them. - Evaluating outcomes involves understanding who and what is impacted, mapping resources to services and impacts, and developing specific, observable indicators with targets and baselines.
