In the context of social and ecological projects, "output" and "outcome" have specific meanings: Output: Refers to the immediate products or services resulting from activities. For example, planting 1000 trees or conducting 50 educational workshops are outputs. They are quantifiable and easy to measure. Outcome: Represents the longer-term effects or changes due to the outputs. In our examples, outcomes might be improved air quality from the trees or higher literacy rates from the workshops. Outcomes are about the impact and are often less immediately measurable. In essence, outputs are what you do, while outcomes are the differences made by what you do.
