AnnotationOutcome evaluation is seen as one of the most appropriate ways of measuring programme effectiveness. It has become an expectation in almost all health and nutrition-related programmes, especially to ensure ongoing funding. Contributors are demanding clearer evidence that the resources they spend actually produce benefits for a programme's target population. This article presents results from a pilot project to develop and test an outcome measurement tool for a congregate meals programme in northern Delaware. Recommendations are given for implementing outcome evaluation in other similar programmes. (KJ/RH).
