Are you a grant maker, manager or evaluator who must assess your
work to improve as well as be accountable for the use of resources
and results? Does the project, program or organization you fund,
manage or evaluate contend with substantial uncertainty about what
to do and what will be the results? Do you thus experience constant
change and unexpected and unforeseeable actors and factors in your
intervention? Do you need to know what you are achieving and how in
real time? And therefore, do you seek an alternative to
conventional monitoring and evaluation of social change results? If
yes, then you are the audience for this book. Beginning in 2002,
working closely with co-evaluators and commissioners of
evaluations, the author developed Outcome Harvesting to enable
evaluators, grant makers, and managers to identify, formulate,
verify, and make sense of changes that interventions have
influenced in a broad range of cutting-edge innovation and
development projects and programs around the world. Over these
years, he led Outcome Harvesting evaluative exercises involving
almost 500 non-governmental organizations, networks, government
agencies, funding agencies, community-based organizations, research
institutes and university programs. In over fifty evaluations, with
forty co-evaluators he has harvested thousands of outcomes on six
continents. Outcome Harvesting has proven useful in evaluations of
a great diversity of initiatives: human rights advocacy, political,
economic and environmental advocacy, arts and culture, health
systems, information and communication technology, conflict and
peace, water and sanitation, taxonomy for development, violence
against women, rural development, organic agriculture,
participatory democracy, waste management, public sector reform,
good governance, eLearning, social accountability, and business
competition, amongst others. In this book, the author explains the
steps of Outcome Harvesting and how to customize them according to
the nine underlying principles. He shares his experience and gives
practical advice on how to work with Outcome Harvesting and remain
true to its essential features.
