The Outcome Harvesting Expert is expected to perform the following tasks:
• Review current outcome harvesting process and achievements, how they were identified, and by which ODA activities they were achieved.
• Reflect on the previous outcome harvesting process and lessons learned.
• Design the harvest and draft outcomes.
