Embracing change: Outcome Harvesting in peacebuilding practice
The volatile and uncertain nature of peace processes means that traditional, sequential monitoring and evaluation techniques often do not fully capture sudden escalations or unforeseen political and social changes in conflict-affected areas. Outcome Harvesting is an inclusive approach to monitoring and evaluation designed for programmes operating in unpredictable, fast-changing environments. This paper delves into the Outcome Harvesting process and presents insights and lessons gained from Conciliation Resources’ experience of using it.
