Project Goal

Insert the project goal written in the project narrative. See NOFO Guidance document for guidance on developing the project goal.

Project Objective 1: [State the project objective here and divide the logic model by each objective. Objectives are concrete and viewed as targets under the general goal]. See NOFO Guidance document for guidance on developing project objectives.

See NOFO Guidance document for guidance on developing the items listed below.

List needs as bullet points.

Consider the following:

What are the needs of the community, based on the social, political and economic condition of the country or region?

What do beneficiaries/ partners/ clients need to address or solve the issues mentioned in the problem statement?

What needs were identified in the pre-gap analysis?

List inputs as bullet points.

Consider the following:

What human and financial resources will be used for this project?

[EXAMPLES: Staff, Time, Money, Materials, Equipment, Partners] List activities numerically by the project objective (e.g. Activity 1.1, Activity 1.2, Activity 1.3, etc.)

Consider the following:

What activities will be conducted to meet the needs or address the issues identified for change throughout the project?

If training: How many people can you train in one session, so they are able to effectively learn something?

If advocacy: How many campaigns do you need to conduct to create changes where you’re working?

If documentation: How many documentation projects do you need to conduct, and with which groups, to create change?

If service provision: To how many individuals, communities or families can you provide services, for them to feel a difference in their lives?

* Note: not all questions will apply… if not, adjust question to apply to your programming.

[EXAMPLES: Conduct workshops, meetings; Deliver services; Provide training; Facilitate; Partner] What will be produced or delivered or who will participate in activities?

[EXAMPLES: Products created or resources developed;

Serviced delivered; Participants (e.g. NGOs, local citizens, media, host country government officials) reached. Be specific about the number/quantity of output (e.g. ]

Note: These outputs will be measured with relevant CPI and custom project performance indicators as indicated in the Results Performance Monitoring Plan (RPM).

What changes will happen after an activity has been implemented?

[EXAMPLES]Increased awareness, knowledge, or attitudes;

Improved skills;

Change in behavior, practice, or decision making; Policy change]

Training: What will participants learn from your training? What actions will they take after training?

Advocacy: Whose minds are you trying to change? What actions will they take after your initiative?

Documentation: If you conduct documentation, how will your project change the lives of those who shared their stories?

Service provision: If you provide direct services, how will it make the lives of your beneficiaries / partners/ clients better?

Note: These outcomes will be measured with relevant CPI and custom project performance indicators as indicated in the Results Performance Monitoring Plan (RPM).

What long-term changes will occur in the social, cultural political or economic context? The impact should contribute to the overall goal of .

Consider the following:

What long-term institutional or systemic change will your project have contributed to one, three, or five years after the project has ended?

Project Objective 2: [Add rows as necessary to report on all project objectives.]

Assumptions

External Factors

What factors need to occur, or which stakeholders or grantees need to be involved, for the project to be successful? How and why will proposed activities lead to proposed outputs, and how will outputs lead to outcomes?

[Country’s political and economic condition; Skills and knowledge level of intended beneficiary; Implementer’s organizational capacity; Level of engagement by stakeholders] What factors that are not in the control of the project—e.g. changes in government policies or the political situation—could affect expected activities, outputs and outcomes?

[Change in government policies, such as NGO restrictions; Change in political situation, such as a coup or civil unrest; Involvement from other donors and implementers]
