Is your context so complex and fast-changing that your logical framework feels disconnected from reality? Or does your project plan emerge over time in ways that make it difficult to predict detailed results? In those contexts, Outcome Harvesting is a great solution.

Outcome Harvesting (OH)  is a methodology for monitoring, evaluation, and learning that focuses on identifying and documenting the observable changes (outcomes) that result from a project or intervention, without predetermined indicators or targets. Outcome Harvesting plus Attitude Change (AC) adds supporting data on ACs in specific situations where attitudes are essential to achieving or understanding the project results.

This toolkit describes the use of OH+AC in the design, monitoring and evaluation phases of a project. It is applicable to social change initiatives in which attitudes are important. Each section includes the essential core steps plus additional optional resources that may be helpful depending on your circumstances.
