Outcome Focus? Results based accountability? Evidence of impact? Or just plain: Getting Results
Why is it that so many strategy plans or reports on progress only talk about the activities done, and not what they achieved? This is despite the ever increasing emphasis on outcome focus, impact assessment and evidencing results. While the importance of achieving impact is simple common sense, the practicalities of monitoring and evaluation are complicated. Keeping the focus on outcomes and impact throughout planning, implementation and evidencing of strategies or projects is difficult.
Imaginative training, clear examples and a lot of practical help and advice are needed to ensure you get results and can demonstrate them. TPAS Cymru has extensive expertise in monitoring and evaluation work which can help your organisation to understand the importance of focusing on outcomes and impact and how to measure and evidence that impact.
