Outcome Evaluation #

A Non-Government Organization has launched a micro-credit program in convergence with the local banks to increase income earning capacities through the provision of accessible finance and livelihood training interventions. While the feedback of the program has reportedly been good; however, it lacks the necessary evidence to scale and sustain funding for the program.

A evidence based ground reality check of whether the program objectives are achieved or not (Allen & Bronte-Tinkew, n.d.), can be generated through a systematic evidence-based outcome evaluation study.

An Outcome Evaluations examines the program’s intended outputs and outcomes and investigates to what extent and in which direction the outcomes change for participants in the program. Outcomes can be broadly defined as the changes bought about in ‘people, organization, and the environment’ through the program intervention (Myers & Barnes, 2005)

Outcome Evaluations have evolved from the more traditional approach of evaluating project outcomes against their objectives, to assessing how these larger outcomes contribute to changes in development conditions (Guidelines for Outcome Evaluators, UNDP, 2002).
