Outcomes vs Outputs<br />

• Outputs: are the specifically intended<br />

results <strong>of</strong> the project activities that are put<br />

in place <strong>to</strong> achieve the targeted outcomes,<br />

i.e., the things that are delivered by a<br />

project or a contract. They serve as<br />

miles<strong>to</strong>nes <strong>of</strong> what has been accomplished<br />

at various stages during the life <strong>of</strong> projects.<br />

Outputs are very valuable and<br />

necessary but they are not the ends in<br />

themselves. They depend on what<br />

people do with them <strong>to</strong> create<br />

outcomes.<br />

Without doc<strong>to</strong>rs and nurses, a hospital<br />

is just another building.<br />

Outcome / Output / Input<br />

Inputs: are the materials, equipment, financial , and<br />

human resources, etc. needed <strong>to</strong> carry out the activities<br />

<strong>of</strong> the project. They are what you put in so that you get<br />

out an output! They involve resources, effort and<br />

anything else needed <strong>to</strong> get the project moving<br />
