Following the previous question, I find that some people comment that the empowerment model is better than the theory-based model and the objectives-based model, is that true?

Hmmm. I’d rather say they are different than one is better than others. As in contrast to an objectives-based approach that would adopt agency goals and outcomes, and in contrast to a theory-based approach that would draw goals from research in the field, the empowerment approach emphasizes the collaboration between evaluators and stakeholders work together to determine the goals and outcomes of the evaluation.

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?
