Dear Dr. Mel, would you kindly give me more information about performance measurement? I have learned that the measurement aims to provide feedback to make the program more transparent to the stakeholders and thus increase their support for the program. But I wonder what if the feedback is negative? Would it be harmful to the program?

That is a great question! The support of stakeholders for the program is essential, that is why we should collect and report the performance data and information for the reference of stakeholders. The performance measurement does not answer the question about the impact and effectiveness. So, you may not need to worry about the negative data, which are usable for further monitoring and evaluation to improve the program.

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?
