A Hierarchy of Objectives Goal – greater why The long-term impact of the project Purpose – why What we hope to achieve – the immediate impact of the project Outputs – what Specific results produced by activities. The TOR & deliverables Activities – how Units of work undertaken to produce outputs Project Design

Goal of the Project It is a long term goal (mostly at the national level) this particular project together with other projects contribute to its achievement Example: • improving the quality of life in the community Z The goal is defined as “it contributes to …” Project Design 6

Find this presentation and more on: www. sswm. info. Goal of the Project (cont. ) Tips for Setting a Project Goal 1. There should be only one goal per project. 2. The goal should be connected to the vision for development. 3. It is difficult or impossible to measure the accomplishment of the goal using measurable indicators, but it should be possible to prove its merit and contribution to the vision. SOURCE: NEBIU, B.

Purpose of the Project The objectives should address the core problem in terms of the benefits to be received by the project beneficiaries or target group as a direct result of the project. A project will likely have multiple objectives. Characteristics: • Specific • Measurable • Applicable • Realistic SOURCE: NEBIU, B. (2002): Developing Skills of NGOs, Project Proposal Writing. Szentendre: The • Timely Project Design Regional Environmental Centre for Central and Eastern Europe. 8

Purpose of the Project (cont. ) Requirements of drafting the project objective: • percentages or figures • place specified • target group specified • time-specific Example: • Increase the number of families from village Z in quantity X who live in a clean garbage-free environment within Y years. • Improve the water supply in quantity X and quality Y for the population of village Z in the next N years. • positive desired state Project Design 9

This is what the project team is promising to deliver. The results are more detailed than the objectives and the goal, and should be possible to measure through the use of objective indicators.

Outputs of the Project (cont. ) Example of outputs: • Increase number of families living in a clean garbage-free environment. • Increased number of households connected to the water supply system; and • Increased number of water taps in the village. An indicator is the signal indicating the achievement of the set goal. Example: -Number of new water taps in the village Project Design 11

Activities: …are linked to specific outputs … are usually specific tasks that are allocated to individuals or groups … be designed having regard to the skills and expertise of the agency and stakeholders … should be listed in chronological order under each output in the logframe “Activities are defined using an action verb in a present tense, eg. Design, draw up, search, construct…” Project Design 12

Indicators of performance Indicators allow to measure the progress in terms of quantity, quality and time. -Impact indicators: related to the overall goal, helps to monitor the achievement and the impact of the project. Example: “Incidence of water borne diseases, skin infections and blood disorders caused by heavy metals, reduced by 50% by 2020”. -Outcome indicators: related to the purpose and results. Example: “Concentration of heavy metal compounds (Pb, Cd, Hg) and untreated sewerage; reduced by 25% (compared to levels in 2010) and meets established national health/pollution control standards by end of 2015”.
