Endline & Outcome Evaluation

Closing a programme with hard evidence of what the baseline promised.

Field team re-measuring programme indicators at endline
What it is

An endline evaluation revisits the baseline indicators at programme close to measure exactly how much moved — the evidence a funder needs to judge success and a programme needs to learn.

Why it matters
  • Baselines are meaningless without an endline
  • It provides the definitive success verdict
  • It captures lessons for the next programme
Bookending the programme

Proof of exactly how much moved

A baseline only has meaning once an endline revisits the same indicators — the gap between the two is the programme’s measured result and its lessons.

Baseline — at the start
  • Indicators fixed before delivery
  • The condition to improve on
  • A promise, not yet proof
Endline — at the close
  • Same indicators re-measured
  • Movement and its drivers
  • The definitive success verdict

The distance between baseline and endline is the change that can be claimed.
