Outcome Mapping Workshops
Presenter: Terry Smutlyo

Overview
The workshop will provide participants with a detailed exposure of Outcome Mapping theory, concepts and tools, in addition to insight into how the methodology has been applied in a variety of contexts.  Participants will also apply Outcome Mapping to their own work through use of a peer assist clinic.

Terry Smutylo specialises in methods that empower stakeholders, promote learning, and focus on outcomes in project, program, and strategic evaluations.  He has led teams that developed several internationally recognised methodologies, including organisational self-assessment and outcome mapping.  He has conducted evaluations, provided training, and facilitated organisational development for development organisations in Canada, the United States, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

Workshop Content
The three and a half-day training will provide participants with an overview of the methodology and then take participants through its different steps. This content will be reinforced by a set of exercises which will also facilitate discussion of the application, and pros and cons of using the methodology.  An indicative structure can be found on the flyer attached below.
