BANF will engage the selected Community Storytellers in "Outcome Harvesting" training. (Here's a quick overview of Outcome Harvesting.) Outcome Harvesting is a community-participatory evaluation methodology that is rooted in observation and reflection. Community Storytellers will be working with the participants and evaluators to observe, reflect, and validate the observations, building a process that incorporates community knowledge within ecosystemic reflections.
