OMLC & OH Community Webinar: Combining OM and OH

As sister approaches, Outcome Harvesting and Outcome Mapping share a common set of principles and tools which can be used together. In this webinar, co-hosted by the OMLC and the OH Community, we will hear from two initiatives which have integrated OM and OH.

The first case is about 11.11.11, a Belgian movement (10.000 volunteers, 60 member organisations) that strives for global justice. Serge Beel, MEAL focal point at 11.11.11, will share how the organisation uses Outcome Mapping and Outcome Harvesting as its primary MEAL tools within the International Department. The presentation will focus on how 11.11.11 formulates, verifies, analyses and interprets outcomes in its programming contexts where relations of cause and effect are by nature not very clear and direct. He will also explain how this integrated approach aligns with 11.11.11’s actor-based approach.

The second case is the Global Partnership for Education Knowledge and Innovation Exchange (GPE KIX), which is managed by IDRC. Simon Hearn, a MEL consultant with the programme, will discuss how the programme grantees use boundary partners and progress markers from OM and outcome cases from OH to monitor results in the results framework. The presentation will touch on the synergy between the structured approach to outcome monitoring in OM combined with the open ended approach from OH. It will also discuss the importance of sensemaking to bring learning alive and support use of insights from monitoring.
