To evaluate a program aiming at fostering a caring, harmonious, and sustainable community, consider the following five points:

Community cohesion: Assess the level of community cohesion resulting from the program. Measure indicators such as residents' sense of belongingness, trust among community members, and the extent of social connections. Evaluate whether the program promotes a strong sense of community identity and fosters positive relationships among residents.

Conflict resolution: Evaluate the program's effectiveness in addressing conflicts and promoting harmonious relationships within the community. Measure indicators such as the number and severity of conflicts resolved, the level of satisfaction with conflict resolution processes, and the ability of community members to engage in constructive dialogue. Assess whether the program equips participants with conflict resolution skills and promotes peaceful coexistence.

Sustainability practices: Assess the adoption of sustainable practices within the community. Measure indicators such as changes in residents' behaviors related to environmental conservation, resource management, and waste reduction. Evaluate whether the program promotes awareness and action towards sustainability, leading to measurable changes in residents' practices.

Caring and empathy: Evaluate the program's impact on fostering a caring and empathetic community. Measure indicators such as the level of volunteering, acts of kindness, and support provided to community members in need. Assess changes in residents' attitudes, behaviors, and their willingness to contribute to the well-being of others. Evaluate whether the program promotes a culture of care and empathy within the community.

Long-term community well-being: Monitor the long-term well-being of the community as a result of the program. Measure indicators such as residents' overall quality of life, satisfaction with community life, and perception of community progress. Assess changes in residents' social, economic, and environmental well-being over time. Evaluate whether the program contributes to sustainable community development and long-term improvements in residents' lives.

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?
