Percentage of defined programme outcomes or milestones achieved against plan
What is Programme Outcomes Achievement Rate?
Programme outcomes achievement rate is the percentage of targeted outcomes that a programme has achieved. It shows how much of the intended change is being delivered.
Outcomes describe the difference a programme makes, so this rate is a direct measure of effectiveness against plan.

How to calculate it
Divide outcomes achieved by outcomes targeted, and multiply by 100.
For example, if a programme targeted 20 outcomes and achieved 15, the rate is 75%.
Define each outcome clearly with evidence of achievement, and set targets from the programme's theory of change.
