This had been done either through counting citations or socio-economic indicators • OM was useful because: – Sensitive to the complexity of actors and factors that transform research results into social, economic or ecological benefits; – OM is sensitive to the long-term nature of sustainable social change • OM helped to identify – A number of common partners and strategies – How outputs are generated and translated into outcomes – The kind of results achieved in ILRI initiatives
