This poster was presented by Richard Smith at the OMLC Learning Lab 2025.
The poster highlights the M&E framework created for the ‘Peaceful and Resilient Communities” (PaRC) program in Ethiopia, funded by the Swedish Embassy in Ethiopia. In 2023/24 Phil Smith from Learning Loop worked together with a team from the coalition members - PMU, NCA, ECFE, EMWACDC, YBCEDO, EECMY-DASC, EMRDA - to create an actor-focused results framework, which employs Outcome Mapping (OM), Outcome Harvesting (OH), and a simple Social Network Analysis (SNA) to help the program track changes in behaviour, narratives, and relationships.
Data collection focuses on local teams compiling journals at the local level together with the boundary partners of the program. This helps the teams to adapt locally, but is also aggregated at the program level to support program level sense-making across the partnership. As of February 2026, the program has also started to use Contribution Analysis to explore in more depth the causal pathways for some of the key changes identified through OM/OH.
