Outcome Harvesting (OH) is a powerful approach for monitoring and evaluation, especially in complex, dynamic environments where change isn’t always linear. This article offers practical lessons learned from real organisations that have used OH to track advocacy, capacity-building, and social change efforts. Whether you’re new to OH or trying to refine your practice, this guide helps you avoid common mistakes like treating OH as a reporting checkbox or skipping substantiation.

Outcome Harvesting flips traditional evaluation on its head. Instead of measuring what you planned to achieve, it helps you uncover what actually happened, intended or not. Whether you're mapping policy shifts, grassroots influence, or unexpected wins, this webinar will show you how to surface real outcomes and make sense of them.

You’ve built the skills. Delivered the work. Designed frameworks. Cleaned up more logframes than you can count. Your CV is solid. Your results are real. And yet, when the big opportunities come up, you’re not the first call. You’re not on the panel. You’re still chasing contracts instead of choosing them. It’s not because you’re not good enough. It’s because you are not visible. Read the article for tips on how to change that.

Things like trust, confidence, voice, or agency don’t fit neatly into checkboxes. They don’t always show up in numbers. But that doesn’t mean we can’t measure them. We just have to shift how we measure.
