Structure of topics in the work programme reflects the challenge based approach1.Specific Challenge – sets the context, the problem to be addressed, why intervention is necessary2.Scope – delineates the problem, specifies the focus and the boundaries of the potential action BUT without overtly describing specific approaches3.Expected Impact – describe the key elements of what is expected to be achieved in relation to the specific challenge
