The outcome mapping tool presents an approach to assist planners to monitor the implementation, adoption, and changes in attitude and behaviour of the stakeholders. Outcome Mapping is a participatory planning, monitoring and evaluation methodology which focuses on the contribution of a program to changes in the actions and behaviours of the ‘boundary partners’. Applied to knowledge and learning strategies, Outcome Mapping facilitates communication and has a number of potential other benefits.
