· Objective 1: Baseline Evaluation and Curriculum Development:

· Objective 2: Broad-based Foundational Training:

· Objective 3: Advanced Capacity Building:

List project assumptions and a brief explanation of each below.

· Pre-standardization

· Stakeholder Cooperation:

· Regulatory and Legal Compliance:

Consider: What factors (e.g., Change in government or policies, such as NGO restrictions; Change in political situation; Involvement from other donors or implementers) are not in the control of the award recipient that could affect expected activities, outputs, and outcomes of the project?

Provide a bullet list and brief explanation of external factors below.

· Government Priorities and Support:

· Budget Constraints:

· International Relations:

· Legal and Regulatory Changes:

Objective 1: Baseline Evaluation and Curriculum Development: Evaluate the current landscape of ICT and CET standards knowledge and capacities in low- and middle-income countries and design a training methodology and curriculum to increase the capacity of a diverse set of stakeholders from the private sector, civil society, academia, and government to participate in the standards development lifecycle.

Inputs: Funding, skilled trainers, implementer staff time, virtual and physical infrastructure for events and trainings, higher level guiding strategy documents including the CDP Functional Bureau Strategy (FBS) and the Digital Connectivity and Cybersecurity Partnership (DCCP)

· Comment by Kohari, Sarah: tried to get a little more specific and move the products Ie.g., a curriculum, reports, etc.) to the output column.

Objective 2: Broad-based Foundational Training: Increase the capacity of a diverse set of stakeholders from the private sector, civil society, academia, and government to participate in the standards development lifecycle, including identifying opportunities for standard review, engaging in pre-standardization research, proposing and studying standards, and tactics for building consensus.

Objective 3: Advanced Capacity Building: Develop a diverse and inclusive cohort of emerging economy standards professionals who can effectively participate in or support their nation’s or organization’s role across international standards development organizations (SDOs) (e.g., ISO, IEC, 3GPP and the ITU-T).

Logic Model Terms and Definitions

· Short-term: Immediate effects of the initiative or activities often focused on the knowledge and attitudes of the intended audience (often observable within or shortly following project lifetime).

· Intermediate: Intermediate effects on behavior or normative or policy changes (often 2-5 years following project lifetime).

· Long-term/Impact: Long-term, visionary changes observed over time that have been influenced by and/or contributed to by the interventions (often 5+ years following project lifetime).
