If the outcomes you want to achieve, and activities that you will use, are already decided then there is no space for the community to determine outcomes and activities; if you have limited time and short-term funding, community development is a long-term process. Engagement and planning can take a year or more, and it can take several years to build the capacity of community members to lead a project and ensure sustainable results. What’s more, if your focus is improving specific individual skills, a program that targets these directly may be more appropriate.

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?
