Outcome Mapping Training Workshop: Tools for Dealing with Complexity in Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation which will take place in Johannesburg from 16–18 February 2016.  The objective of this course is to clarify ‘complexity’ and ‘systems’ concepts for use in planning, monitoring & evaluation; introduce and apply the tools of Outcome Mapping; and to critically assess if and how these concepts and tools could be useful in your work.

Outcome mapping (OM)

OM is a methodology for planning and assessing projects that aim to bring about ‘real’ and tangible change. It has been developed with international development in mind, and can also be applied to projects (or programme) relating to research communication, policy influence and research uptake. An growing international community on outcome mapping is supported by the Outcome Mapping Stewards, so for more on outcome mapping visit http://www.outcomemapping.ca/
