Tips for development of the project Tips for development of the project results chainresults chain

IMPACT - longer term positive changes that the project aims to contribute to (ideally to correspond to a CPF and/or UNDAF priority)

OUTCOME – Expected short and medium-term positive effects for the project. The outcome is not entirely deliverable (= not fully within the project manager’s control, as it will depend on stakeholders’ actions and assumptions )

OUTPUTS – describe what the project will deliver in order to achieve outcome. They are the deliverables in control of project manager!

ACTIVITY – actions to be undertaken to achieve each output. TO NOTE: in an RBM environment carrying out or completing an activity does not constitute a development result!!

SMART RESULTSSpecific in terms of the nature and scope of achievements and changes sought, the target groups and geographical area etc.

(should also reflect only one and not multiple results in one single statement)

Measurable: measurable quantitatively and/or qualitatively; data will be available when needed within the time period

Achievable and time-bound in project period with the resources available

Relevant to national priorities and FAO’s mandate; substantial, necessary and sufficient
