We’re thrilled to invite all Outcome Harvesting practitioners worldwide to join us for our first in-person exchange meeting.
Over the years, the Outcome Harvesting (OH) community has grown into a vibrant global network of practitioners. Members have connected regularly through webinars, online discussions, and collaborative work and many have met each other in various settings and roles. At the same time, many OH users have expressed a strong desire to meet in person to share their experiences, deepen their practice and strengthen relationships across regions, sectors, and contexts. In response to this shared aspiration, we are now organising the first face-to-face gathering of Outcome Harvesting practitioners.
From 7- 9 July 2026, we will meet at MS TCDC in Arusha, Tanzania to bring this vision to life.
For everyone who has used Outcome Harvesting, this is your chance to:
· Deepen your knowledge and practice of Outcome Harvesting
· Learn from each other’s experiences, challenges, and innovations
· Reflect on the future and development of OH
· Build stronger personal and professional connections across the global OH network
-
This event is open to all OH practitioners, beginning practitioners as well as experienced ones. Participants are expected to have used Outcome Harvesting . This is not a training. There will be no sessions dedicated to covering the fundamentals, but rather a focus on peer learning, sharing, and practice.
-
This is an in-person, participatory event, co-created by community members. OH practitioners from around the world will not only participate, but also co-shape the agenda, facilitate sessions, and contribute their experiences.
There will be a mix of structured sessions such as clinics, skills labs, and World Cafés, alongside open spaces for spontaneous topics and deep-dive conversations.
Structured sessions may include:
Case Clinics - OH practitioners bring a real OH challenge and explore it with peers
Case Presentations - OH case presentation followed by Q&A
World Café Conversations - Exchange of diverse perspectives on shared questions
Tool and Skills Labs - Exploration of tools, software, and hands-on techniques
Deep Dives - Focused discussions on specific themes or contexts
Open Space sessions:
Time will be reserved for participant-led sessions to emerge spontaneously based on participants ideas, questions or contributions.
Collective reflection:
The programme will include space for group reflection, synthesis, and forward-looking dialogue, to capture shared insights and imagine what’s next for Outcome Harvesting.
Possible topics:
Session topics are proposed by participants. These include, for example:
Using OH for sensemaking and strategic reflection
Outcome Harvesting as a monitoring approach
Tools for OH: databases, AI, and analysis software
How to formulate complex or sensitive outcomes
Feminist and power-aware OH

You can only choose the option ‘participant without high income country funding’ if your registration fee is not being paid by an organisation in a high-income country.
In the event that your registration type needs to be changed, a 50 EUR admin fee will be charged.
