Matrix Feedback

Today, I received feedback about the results matrix from a good friend and colleague, Adam Kessler.

Overall, he said the matrix looked exciting and that as an M&E person he was happy to see that we sorted the outcomes, outputs and activities appropriately. That was good news! The few pointers he did have were quite simple. Por ejemplo... You have too many objectives. Narrow it down for a more specific frame. Once I did that I was able to better sort what outputs were needed and what was just extra fluff. 

The matrix is handy for my own reference and general understanding of program direction, but it is also useful for marketing the organization's program. When it is time to get donors, parents and students interested in the program, we will be able to clearly show each program activity, it’s benefit for the student and it's output for the organization.

So it is important to get these things right. 

Thanks to Adam Kessler for keeping us on track!
