Over these years, he led Outcome Harvesting evaluative exercises involving almost 500 non-governmental organizations, networks, government agencies, funding agencies, community-based organizations, research institutes and university programs.

Outcome Harvesting has proven useful in evaluations of a great diversity of initiatives: human rights advocacy, political, economic and environmental advocacy, arts and culture, health systems, information and communication technology, conflict and peace, water and sanitation, taxonomy for development, violence against women, rural development, organic agriculture, participatory democracy, waste management, public sector reform, good governance, eLearning, social accountability, and business competition, amongst others. In this book, the author explains the steps of Outcome Harvesting and how to customize them according to the nine underlying principles. He shares his experience and gives practical advice on how to work with Outcome Harvesting and remain true to its essential features." (Back cover)

niques for facilitating corruption-focussed projects; from the workshop stages through to fieldwork and audience engagement. A collection of detailed case studies conclude the guidebook. These describe the participatory video projects implemented by Transparency International and InsightShare, together with an extra case study from a project that addressed corruption in the school system implemented by the India-based organisation Video Volunteers. The basic techniques and approaches of participatory video are not included in this guide. The guide does not include exercises for participants to learn technical skills, develop story structures, undertake group-based filmmaking, or ice-breakers and other complimentary workshop activities [...] Instead, this guide presents specific considerations for those designing corruption-focussed projects and provides a range of exercises for the facilitators. While the focus is on addressing issues of corruption, many of the ideas and approaches will be useful to practitioners in general. The sections on Choosing Participatory Video, Participant Selection, Project Structure, and Free, Prior and Informed Consent are likely to be relevant to a wide-range of projects." (Page 9)

This guide serves as a written record of the best practices discussed at the Dakar workshop and provides simple, helpful, easy-to-use guidelines.

It is within culture that women and girls face violations and discrimination of their Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights. Culture is a learning process which changes over time and journalists can play a huge role in changing social thinking and attitudes to enable women and girls achieve human development and lead long healthy lives where their rights are respected. The media advocacy on access to SRHR will lead to abandonment of discriminatory practices and encourage policies and practices that will enable women to take control of their SRHR by expressing their own demands and finding solutions to their own problems."

over two hundred data journalism modules and programs being taught in journalism schools all over the world. These programs are set to prepare journalists for the next wave of analytical and accountability-driven journalism. For the average global citizen, more and more of our everyday lives are impacted by computers and data. In order to hold power to account, journalists should be empowered with the skills and tools to make sense of this data. By working through real case studies within Al Jazeera, we hope to provide readers with a concise and practical introduction to data journalism as seen through the lens of an Arab audience. This guidebook will move beyond the technical details and rather focus on helping you think critically and creatively about telling human stories hidden within data." (Introduction)
