Key Self-Check Questions:
- What is the difference between an Output and an Immediate Outcome?
(Answer: An Output is a tangible product or activity delivered, whereas an Immediate Outcome is the initial shift in knowledge, capacity, or access resulting from that output). - Why does the Theory of Change use two separate “AND” statements?
(Answer: Because technical capacity alone without feminist principles or an enabling environment will fail to achieve gender transformation). - What is “short-circuiting” in M&E reporting?
(Answer: Short-circuiting occurs when an organization reports a low-level activity or output as directly achieving the ultimate outcome without showing the intermediate steps).
