WORKSHEET: DEVELOPING AN OUTCOMES CHAIN

Outcomes don’t all happen at once. This worksheet will help you see how your outcomes connect to one another in a logical chain – sometimes called a Pathway of Outcomes, or an “Outcomes Chain.” As you build your logic model, make sure that your activities are moving you toward your program goals. Even if you won’t be able to achieve those goals within the program timeframe, it’s important to see how they are connected. Fig. 1: Outcomes Chain Your shorter-term outcomes might happen right away—early in your program, or sometime during your program. Shorter-term outcomes are the results you expect to see during your logic model’s timeframe. Shorter-term outcomes lead to intermediate outcomes: the results you want to see. Intermediate outcomes may happen at the end of your program, or just outside your program’s timeframe. Both shorter-term and intermediate outcomes need to happen before your longer-term outcomes can happen. Longer-term outcomes are closely related to your program goal(s), and will happen after your program timeframe—they aren’t completely within your control, but you hope they will happen.

Shorter-Term Outcomes • Achieved during program timeframe • Within program control • “expect to see”

Intermediate Outcomes • Achieved at the end / beyond program

timeframe • Follow shorter-term outcomes • “want to see”

Longer-Term Outcomes • Achieved after program timeframe • Outside direct program control • “hope to see”

Shorter-Term Outcomes

are the first steps toward social change, such as:

 New knowledge  Changed opinion/values  Increased skills  Changed motivation  Changed attitudes  Changed aspirations

Fig. 2: Types of Outcomes

Intermediate Outcomes

can’t happen without short-term outcomes, and are often:

 Modified behavior  Changed policies  Changed practices  Changed social action  Changed decisions

Longer-Term Outcomes

can’t happen without short-term and intermediate outcomes, and may be:

 Changed human condition  Changed civic condition  Changed economic condition  Changed environmental condition

Think about the connections between outcomes.

Shorter-Term Outcomes lead to…

Intermediate Outcomes which in turn lead to…

Longer-Term Outcomes

What are the most direct results – the outcomes you expect to achieve? What has to happen first?

What results come next – the things you want to happen, but that can’t happen without your short-term outcomes?

What do you hope will result over time, as a result of your short and intermediate outcomes?
