The RAPID Outcome Mapping Approach (ROMA) draws from the Outcome Mapping methodology to support the planning, monitoring and evaluation of policy influencing interventions. It is used, in various forms, by ODI, DFID and a variety of other projects and organisations.

The AIIM tool is often used in a workshop setting and involves a diverse group of participants –each with insights into different actors or parts of the policy space. After defining the objectives of the intervention and carrying out some background context analysis (or in-depth research depending on the degree of complexity of the challenge), AIIM can help to clarify where some of the interventions’ main policy audiences and targets stand in relation to its objectives and possible influencing approaches.
