Collaborative outcomes reports (COR) aim to explore and report on the extent to which an intervention has contributed to outcomes. They are thus aimed at answering the “impact” question.

At Clear Horizon we structure the reports against the following sections:

1. A narrative section explaining the program context and rationale.
2. A ‘results chart’ which summarises the achievements of a program against a program logic model.
3. A narrative section describing the implications of the results e.g. what was learned, and what will be changed as a result of what has been learned.
4. A section which provides a number of ‘vignettes’ that provide instances of significant change, usually first person narratives.
5. An index providing more detail on the sources of evidence.

Under COR, the reports are approximately 20-30 pages long, although depending on the purpose and context of the report it may be as brief as a colour brochure. A typical layout is shown below:
