3.3. Project Context:

3.4. Project Goal and Objectives

3.5. Project Audiences

(Briefly describe your key audiences for the project, both primary and secondary. Primary audiences are those who will participate directly in the program, while secondary audiences are those who will be reached by the project's primary audiences, as a result of their participation. Audiences are all individuals, organizations or groups outside of your own organization, not your organization's employees. Be sure to include approximately how many people will be reached by your project, including a breakdown of numbers of people reached in different project activities. For example, a teacher training program may reach 20 trainees (primary audience), but as these teachers implement what they have learned from the program, they could reach several hundred students (secondary audience).)

The proposed timeline for the project activities. Include the dates, times, and locations of planned activities and events.

3.7. Project Activities

3.11. Project Partners

(Briefly describe your key partners, multipliers, and influencers, including the primary role that each will play in implementing and/or amplifying the project. These are all individuals, organizations or groups outside of your own organization, not your organization's employees whose participation will make the project more successful. They are also not the same as the project audiences. For example, a teacher training program may partner with a university or the Ministry of Education to provide continuing education credit for participating teachers. In this case, the university or the Ministry would be among the project partners.)
