GOAL
The Goal is a statement of
how the project or program will contribute to the solution
of the problem (or problems) of the sector.
|
The indicators at Goal
level describe how the overall impact of the project shall
be measured. They are specific in terms of quantity,
quality, and time (target group and location if relevant).
|
The means of verification
are the sources of information that an evaluator can use to
verify that the targets were achieved. They can include
published material, visual inspection, sample surveys, etc.
|
The assumptions indicate
the important events, conditions, or decisions necessary for
sustaining the Goal in the long run.
|
|
PURPOSE
The Purpose is a statement
of the direct impact or result to be obtained from using the
Outputs produced with the project. It is a hypothesis about
what the project will achieve.
|
The indicators at the
Purpose level describe how the direct impact of the project
shall be measured. They should include targets reflecting
the end of project status (EOPS). They are specific in terms
of quantity, quality, and time (target group and location if
relevant).
|
The means of verification
are the sources that the executor and evaluator can consult
to see if the targets are being achieved. They can indicate
that there is a problem and suggest the need for changes in
project Outputs. They can include published material, visual
inspection, sample surveys, etc.
|
The assumptions indicate
the events, conditions, or decisions that are outside the
control of the project manager (risks) that have to occur
for the project to achieve the Goal.
|
|
OUTPUTS
These are the goods,
services, and training that the project executor is required
by contract to complete. They should be expressed as work
completed (systems installed, people trained, etc.).
|
The indicators for Outputs
are succinct, but clear, descriptions of each of the
Outputs that has to be completed during execution. Each
should specify quantity, quality and timing of the goods,
services, etc. to be delivered. They are specific in terms
of quantity, quality, and time (target group and location if
relevant).
|
This cell tells where an
evaluator can find the sources of information to verify that
the things that have been contracted for have been
delivered. Sources can include site inspection, auditor's
reports, etc.
|
The assumptions are the
events, conditions, or decisions (outside the control of the
project manager) that have to occur in order that the
Outputs will achieve the Purpose for which they were
undertaken.
|
|
ACTIVITIES
These are the tasks that
the executor must carry out in order to produce each of
the Outputs. Activities are listed in chronological
order for each Output. The activities are those that will be
performed by the executing unit.
|
This cell contains the
budget for each Output.
|
This cell tells where an
evaluator can obtain information on whether the budget was
spent as planned. It is usually the accounting records of
the executing unit.
|
The assumptions are the
events, conditions, or decisions (outside the control of the
project manager) that have to occur in order to complete the
Outputs.
