Output is the immediate result of any process. Outcome is the long term result. Planting One million trees: Output : One million plants. Outcome: One million trees resulting in more rain fall and less pollution.

Outputs tell the story of what you produced or your organization's activities. Output measures do not address the value or impact of your services for your clients. On the other hand, an outcome is the level of performance or achievement that occurred because of the activity or services your organization provided.
