Outcome Mapping Training Workshop, Cape Town

Dear Colleagues
Southern Hemisphere is pleased to introduce its new training course: Outcome Mapping Training Workshop: Tools for Dealing with Complexity in Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation which will take place in Cape Town from 27 - 29 October 2015. 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) 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/resource/start-here

Participants will learn how they can:
- Identify and deliver diversified strategies
- Clarify and measure intended outcomes
- Locate and measure outcomes that emerge unexpectedly
- Have an understanding of the importance of integrating monitoring and evaluation from the planning stage
- Involve stakeholders in all processes
- Foster organisational learning, and
- Track and report on the complex processes of social change

Participants will leave the course with a very practical understanding of Outcome Mapping!!
