Outputs

Key outputs are the immediate results of the organization's activities. These outputs are essential milestones that serve as indicators of progress towards achieving the desired outcomes. By documenting these outputs, the ToC provides a tangible basis for monitoring and evaluation, ensuring that each step in the process is contributing effectively to the ultimate goals.

We have grouped these outcomes under 4 key service dimensions:

Circle Dimensions

Outputs include:

• Multi-stakeholder service evaluation measures the social climate, individual well-being and quality of life of Circle members.
