- Outcome Challenge: The ultimate, most ideal change in the BP

- Changes sought or those the Project will support in identified KEY Boundary Partners (BPs). Outcomes sought.

- Progress Markers: Gradual change, transformational, starting from the immediate reaction after encounter.

What progressive changes the Program will observe starting from initial interaction?

- The effects of the program “being there,” on the partner with a focus on how actors behave as a result of being reached

- How the behaviour, relationships, activities, or actions of an individual, group, or institution will change if the program is extremely successful

- The “challenge” is for the program to help bring about these qualitative changes

- PLUS: What quantitative changes indicate Progress is being made?

Answers to questions such as:

- “In order to contribute to the vision, how will the Boundary Partner be behaving or acting differently?”

- “What new relationships will have been formed?”

- “How will existing ones change?”
