  3. M&E for Learning System

  4. Most programs imagine the world works like this…and this is what our ToC describes Vision IMPACT OUTCOMES M&E of outcomes OUTPUTS M&E for outputs ACTIVITIES INPUTS Plan Time

  5. But does life work like this? • Group exercise • Take a moment to reflect on your own life • 5 years ago did you imagine you would be doing what you are doing now? • What were the critical events that got you here? • Share one key event • Identify key features of these events

  6. Common features of personal journeys NOT A LINEAR PLANNED PROCESS, but …. • Guiding vision • Guiding passion / interest • Luck; opportunity; being at the right place at the right time • Preparedness; patience • Knowing key people AAS journey will be the same

  7. Vision OUTPUT OUTPUT M&E for learning / info mmgt OUTPUT ACTIVITY OUTPUT ACTIVITY OUTCOME OUTCOME OUTCOME OUTCOME OUTCOME OUTCOME OUTCOME INPUTS ACTIVITY Plan OUTPUT INPUTS ACTIVITY INPUTS INPUTS

  8. Some of the tools and approaches for doing M&E are….. (from brainstorming in the Solomons) • Making sense of stories • After action reviews • Stakeholder review and reflection workshops • Collectively developing and revising theory of change • Reflective field trip reports • Research thematic working groups (venue for bouncing ideas off; forum for improving practice; reflecting on an idea that has been put into practice) • Staff meetings – sharing experience • Lessons learnt documents (synthesis of learning)

  9. Emergent Outcomes Realized outcomes Documentation Expected Outcomes Evaluation Research Evaluation Research Intended Outcomes Unrealized Outcomes Adapted from: Mintzberg and Waters, 1985

  10. Did we contribute to the outcome? How? Is it coherent with our theory of change?

  11. Outcome harvesting • An adaptation of ‘outcome mapping’ • Outcome Harvesting is like forensic science in that it applies a broad spectrum of techniques to yield evidence-based answers to the following questions: • What happened? • Who did it (or contributed to it)? • How do we know this? Is there corroborating evidence? • Why is this important? What do we do with what we found out? Wilson-Grau and Britt, 2012, p. 1
