"You want to know if and why your training or capacity-building event worked well:
1. Did it motivate participants?
2. Did it strengthen participants’ knowledge and confidence to use that knowledge?
3. Did participants then actually use that knowledge or new relationships after they leave?
4. And
...
did it help participants and WIEGO achieve our intended outcomes of influencing external actors?
5. Given our findings, how can we improve our training or capacity building event when we next do it?
This document gives ideas on what methods to use to answer the above questions without bringing the original participants back into a workshop. You can adapt them to your specific context and audience." (The Focus of this Tool)

shop to harvest outcomes: WIEGO outcomes – that is changes made by informal workers, Nets or MBOs1 that WIEGO has influenced directly, for example through a training or other intervention; and outcomes that those workers, Nets or MBOs in turn have influenced through their own actions. In this Tool 8, the WIEGO facilitation team first categorizes and analyses outcomes that were harvested in the Tool 7 workshop; and then in a second online workshop, you facilitate participants interpreting findings and identifying implications for improving their strategies, and potentially for WIEGO to improve your original training workshop. The online workshops described in these two tools (7 and 8) aims to strengthen capacity of participants in telling their stories and in analysing their influence and its strategic implications. Note: there are separate tools in the WIEGO MLE Toolkit (5 and 6), for doing this in a face-to-face workshop." (The Focus of this Tool)

8 is the online version of Tool 6 on outcomes analysis and strategic learning. A great way to find out if WIEGO’s interventions – trainings or other kinds of supports to Nets and MBOs – have worked well, or if people have used our tools and materials, is to engage them in a follow-up evaluation workshop. This Tool takes you through the process of supporting participants to describe changes they or their organizations have influenced since WIEGO’s interventions, or since they got WIEGO’s toolkits or materials. The online workshop in Tool 8 should take place one or a few days after this first workshop, giving you time to analyse the harvested outcomes before the workshop. It engages participants to interpret the analysis of the outcomes they harvested. They consider if and how well they are using the materials and having the influence they hope to have, whether on their own institutions or on external actors. The online workshops described in these two tools (7 and 8) aims to strengthen capacity of participants in telling their stories and in analysing their influence and its strategic implications."
