"This Guide updates the learning on Outcome Harvesting + Attitude Change (OH+AC), an adapted version of Outcome Harvesting that adds the consideration of attitudes while upholding Outcome Harvesting’s primary concepts and core principles. Whereas Outcome Harvesting centers behavior change among so

cial change actors, attitudes can be a valuable addition to Outcome Harvesting wherever inner transformation is essential for achieving the outward behavior change that drives social change program results, or wherever attitudes are particularly central to the worldview of program stakeholders. There has been significant experience and feedback since the trial version OH+AC toolkit, originally published by Tearfund, was launched in 2020. It is time to share what we have learned. One key learning is that most colleagues find it easier to learn OH+AC if they already have a solid grasp of Outcome Harvesting. So, unlike the trial version toolkit, this update is designed for evaluation facilitators with some Outcome Harvesting experience. We assume some evaluation basics, and we keep the reminders of Outcome Harvesting basics to a minimum. However, we do not assume that you are an Outcome Harvesting expert or that English is your first language. We aim to explain the addition of attitude considerations to Outcome Harvesting in a way that is complete and clear." (Introduction, page 7)

erests, but also critical as a means of documenting and learning for peacebuilders themselves. Theories and best practices in monitoring and evaluation have become prevalent in many fields, yet the amount of literature on evaluating intercultural and, especially, religious and interreligious projects remains scant in comparison. This volume offers a unique contribution that not only looks at several of the challenges and implications faced by religious and interreligious peacebuilders but also provides concrete examples of new models and tools for monitoring and evaluating religious and interreligious peacebuilding projects. In doing so, this volume serves as a tool and point of reference for individuals and organizations developing and implementing interreligious dialogue and peacebuilding projects."

f both, to maximize peacebuilding learning and effectiveness. Therefore, the audience for this Guide is anyone who is involved in the design, monitoring or evaluation of inter-religious peacebuilding programs or initiatives. These users include interreligious peacebuilders, evaluators, practitioners, and leaders who are tasked with commissioning an evaluation or who are managing learning and evaluation processes, as well as donors (public and private) who are involved in funding and evaluating inter-religious action for peacebuilding. Thus, a wide range of people and organizations might make use of this Guide. Throughout the Guide, we indicate which sections might be most useful for which audiences. For purposes of simplicity, we will flag sections for three (overlapping!) overall categories of users: Inter-religious peacebuilding implementers; Internal project managers or monitoring and evaluation specialists; External evaluators."
