Compared to the program goals, objectives are more specific and measurable. By specific, I mean the objectives include the “who,” “what,” and “where” information of activities/actions. By measurable, I mean the objectives focus on “how much” the change is expected.

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?
