Social cohesion is defined as the strength of relationships and a sense of solidarity among members of a community, characterized by shared values, trust, and a commitment to collective well-being. It fosters social integration and reduces disparities, enhancing overall community resilience.

To measure social cohesion, various methods can be employed:

Surveys: Assessing perceptions of belonging, trust, and community engagement among residents.

Social network analysis: Evaluating the strength and quality of interpersonal connections within the community.

Participation metrics: Tracking involvement in community activities and organizations.

Qualitative interviews: Gathering in-depth insights into personal experiences of community ties and support systems.

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?
