Abstract

Coastal Areas Monitoring Project and Laboratory (CAMP-Lab) supports participatory resource management in the Pearl Lagoon communities in the South Atlantic Autonomous Region (RAAS) of Nicaragua. This evaluation offers lessons for using Outcome Mapping (OM) at the project level, and demonstrates the OM tool for both project learning and accountability. Rooting the development of indicators within the project’s vision and mission statements led immediately to purposeful reflection by CAMP-Lab staff on the project’s activities and direction, also providing a useful mechanism for refocussing efforts as needed, while creating a solid basis in local priorities related to development and the environment.
