Indicators of a program aiming to enhance overall awareness and foster social cohesion through mutual help can help assess its effectiveness. Here are five potential indicators to consider:

Awareness levels: Measure the level of awareness among program participants and the wider community regarding social issues, community needs, and opportunities for mutual help. Assess indicators such as changes in participants' knowledge about community resources, understanding of social challenges, and awareness of available support systems. Increased awareness indicates the program's impact in informing and educating individuals about social issues.

Community engagement: Evaluate the level of community engagement resulting from the program. Measure the number and diversity of individuals actively participating in community activities, events, or initiatives facilitated by the program. Assess the extent of community collaboration, volunteerism, and collective problem-solving efforts. Increased community engagement signifies the program's success in fostering social cohesion and encouraging mutual help.

Collaborative projects: Monitor the implementation and success of collaborative projects initiated by program participants and community members. Measure the number of joint community initiatives, the range of social issues addressed, and the outcomes achieved. Assess the level of collaboration, shared responsibility, and collective action demonstrated through these projects. Successful collaborative projects reflect the program's impact in fostering mutual help and addressing community needs.

Social networks and connections: Evaluate the formation and strength of social networks and connections within the community. Measure indicators such as the number and quality of social connections established among program participants and community members, as well as the diversity of these connections. Assess changes in participants' social support systems and their ability to seek and offer help within the community.

Perceived community support: Gather feedback from program participants and community members regarding their perception of community support and mutual help. This can be obtained through surveys, interviews, or focus groups to capture individuals' experiences, observations, and opinions. Assess changes in participants' sense of belongingness, perceived social support, and overall satisfaction with the community's response to their needs. Positive feedback reflects the program's influence in fostering social cohesion and mutual help.

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?
