Project Aim:achieve the best possible results in an efficient and effective way – and achieve sustainable results
A PROJECT
- is not an activity e.g. a lecture or one time event- Can focus on awareness, advocacy or action (hands on)- Has a clear goal and - Is based on SMART objectives:
SpecificMeasurableAchievableRealisticTimebound
Example: 20 Women have received basic accounting skills at the end of Dec 2013
Considerations for Project Identification
- Who shall benefit? > Involve beneficiaries
- What are the specific needs of the beneficiaries ? > needs assessment
- What are the problems to be addressed?> problem analysis
- What are others doing? > Stakeholder analysis
- What can the beneficiaries contribute ? > capacity assessment
Project Formulation
Prepare a plan (logical framework) to guide implementation, monitoring and evaluation, which addresses these questions :
> What do we want to achieve? (Goal, Results)> How will we get there? ( Activities)> How will we know when we have got there? (Indicators)> What is the proof that we got there? (Evidence)> What are the potential problems along the way?
(Assumptions/ Risk analysis)
What resources (inputs) do we need ? How do we get those resources?
Project Formulation (2) : Clear indicators :
Measure quantity (extent of change) e.g. % increase of school enrolment, number of people attending…
and / or quality (kind of change) e.g. satisfaction, decision making ability, change of attitude,
Are relevant to the objective it is measuring Are sufficient to achieve the wanted result And indicate the time frame
Evidence should be available at low cost and the right time e.g. reports, minutes of meetings, participant list; official statistics; pictures; expenditure
Project Implementation and Monitoring
Update the stakeholder analysis regularly Consult beneficiaries Reassess the risks to the project Continuously monitor progress against
indicators Review the strategies used to achieve results make adjustments or improvements
Project Evaluation
Measure performance against indicators for > Accountability and > Lesson learning
When we measure performance, we have to ask:
Does the project address needs? RELEVANCE Are we using the available resources wisely? EFFICIENCY Are the desired results being achieved? EFFECTIVENESS Has the wider goal been achieved? What changes have
occurred that help beneficiaries mid and long term? IMPACT
Will the impact be last beyond project ? SUSTAINABILITY
IMPORTANCE OF REPORTING
-Evidence of our work-Creating visibility-Learn from experience -Presentation to international audiencesUtilise it !
Group Tasks1)Identify 1 main issue you deal with in each of the project phases below -
a) Identificationb) Formulation (design)c) Implementation/ monitoring d) Evaluation e) Reporting ?And discuss possible solutions for those issues.
2) Agree on a maximum of 2 important questions regarding project management you would like to raise in the plenary .
