Outputs and outcomes, kept apart

Reporting separates what a programme delivers from what changes as a result.

Outputs

What a programme delivers directly.

For example, people trained.

Outcomes

What changes as a result of that work.

For example, income or quality improvements.

Every figure published here will carry its reporting date, definition and source. Historical project results will be labelled as historical.
