Outcome Harvesting Brief_Nov 2013
Outcome Harvesting is a method that enables evaluators, grant makers, and managers to identify, formulate, verify, and make sense of outcomes. The method was inspired by the definition of outcome as a change in the behavior, relationships, actions, activities, policies, or practices of an individual, group, community, organization, or institution

Discussion Paper Innovations in Monitoring and Evaluation
Countries are increasingly taking innovative approaches to monitor and evaluate the performance of public policies, programs and service delivery. There are a number of reasons why this is happening. On the one hand, M&E has to respond to the higher standards expected of it, and to the fast-changing environment. On the other hand, as technology moves forward, opportunities for innovation in M&E are opening up.

Systemic monitoring Attending to Interrelationships perspectives and Boundaries
Attending to interrelationships, multiple perspectives, and boundaries is one of three key principles underlying complexity-aware monitoring. This principle emphasizes the importance of using systems concepts when monitoring, regardless of whether the monitoring method is drawn from the systems field, or is a more traditional monitoring method.
