GUIDELINES AND TOOLKITS

Monitoring, Learning and Evaluation Toolkit from WIEGO (Women in Informal Employment: Globalizing and Organizing). Barbara Klugman developed this Toolkit, with inputs from Carmen Wilson-Grau and WIEGO team members, to support WIEGO and its partners in specific aspects of their monitoring and learning processes. It relies heavily on Outcome Harvesting and we hope they will be useful to other movements as well as monitoring and evaluation professionals, grant makers, managers, and implementers in the use of Outcome Harvesting during their work. The Toolkit has a series of eight tools, each with a different focus. You may need to use some of them together, 2022:

• Tool 1: How to write an outcome statement

• Tool 2: How to harvest outcomes you notice in your day-to-day work

• Tool 3: How to evaluate your training or workshop, during and after

• Tool 4: Where to find outcomes of research uptake and how to use them for learning and adaptation

• Tool 5: How to conduct a participatory evaluation workshop

• Tool 6: How to conduct a participatory outcomes evaluation workshop

• Tool 7: How to conduct an online participatory evaluation workshop

• Tool 8: How to conduct an online participatory outcomes evaluation workshop

Change inside and out. An Outcome Harvesting plus Attitude Change toolkit for peacebuilders and other change makers Michelle Garred (Ripple Peace Research & Consulting)  and Malaka Refai (Tearfund), 2020. This toolkit, which is a trial version, presents an adaptation of Outcome Harvesting and includes changes in attitude to come to a better understanding of the processes of behaviour change and social change.

Boîte à outils de WIEGO (Femmes dat l'Emploi Informel: Globalisation et Organisation) pour le suivi, l'apprentissage et l'évaluation, 2023. Barbara Klugman a développé cette boîte à outils, avec les contributions de Carmen Wilson-Grau et des membres de l'équipe de WIEGO, pour soutenir WIEGO et ses partenaires dans des aspects spécifiques de leurs processus de suivi et d'apprentissage. Elle s'appuie fortement sur la Récolte des Effets (Outcome Harvesting) et nous espérons qu'elle sera utile à d'autres mouvements ainsi qu'aux professionnels du suivi et de l'évaluation, aux bailleurs, aux gestionnaires et aux responsables de la mise en œuvre dans l'utilisation de la Récolte des Effets au cours de leur travail. La boîte à outils comprend une série de huit outils, chacun ayant un objectif différent. Il se peut que vous deviez utiliser certains d'entre eux ensemble:

• WIEGO Outil 1-Comment rédiger une déclaration d'effet
  

• WIEGO Outil 2-Comment récolter les effets que vous remarquez dans votre travail quotidien
  

• WIEGO Outil 3-Comment évaluer pendant et après une formation ou un atelier
  

• WIEGO Outil 4-Où trouver les effets de la recherche et comment les utiliser pour l'apprentissage et l'adaptation
  

• WIEGO Outil 5-Comment mener un atelier d'évaluation participative - récolter lef effets
