Government / Politics / Disaster Prevention

Spanish term or phrase: Producto

I'm having a little difficulty with the best way to translate the term "producto" in this context.
It is for a proposal about management and prevention of natural disasters. There is a proposal and then the expected results or outcomes.

Two examples in the document are:
Producto(s) Esperados
Producto 1, Producto 2 (etc.)

My best guess is among the following:
outcome
output
results

(with or without the word "expected")

I think "expected outcome," or "outcome 1," "outcome 2" is the best way to render it, but I would really like some input.

More context:
Producto(s) Esperados: Se mejora la capacidad de gestión de manejo de desastres en el Caribe.

And, from the table of contents:
II. Marco de Resultados y Recursos
Producto 1....
Plan de adiestramiento diseño y esablecido....
Producto 2.....

(and so on)

Lindsay, thanks. This was the right answer. I only used "expected outcome" when it was used in the source document, otherwise, just "outcome."

Deliverable

Explanation:
I have seen this use in many RFPs. Not a very appealing word but it is commonly used in fields like this, especially when reference is made to "non-physical" products.

Asker: Phil, the word Outcome does not appear as any of the possible definitions on the page you linked to, and not including in Definition 3. I went through several dictionaries online before posting my question.
