5 Attention! 1. The proposed actions should be designed to produce specific, measurable results in response to identified problems. Proposals must be based on concrete, recent, and verifiable information that can clearly identify specific problems and the related constraints.

6 Attention! 2. Projects should indicate clear defined objectives, intervention methodology, and coherent set of activities, target groups and tangible outcomes, within a limited timeframe. Activities should be designed to meet the specific needs of the target groups identified by the project. The identification of the target group (direct and indirect beneficiaries) and a needs assessment must be done before drafting the proposal.

7 Attention! 3. The logframe matrix must present a clear casual-effect sequence of inputs, activities, outputs and outcomes. All of them must lead to the impact that is a change in the social conditions of the beneficiaries. Theory of Change INPUTS ACTIVITIES OUTPUTS OUTCOMES IMPACT There must be consistency in the activities, outcomes (or objectives) and impact (or overall objective) between the description of the action, the action plan, the logframe and the budget. The distinction between outputs (i.e. tangible results such as specific modules developed, peace summer schools organized ) and outcomes (i.e. change in behaviour such as the quality of teaching civic education in the target schools is improved ) must be clear. The indicators must be measurable and it should be considered that the indicators referring to the outputs (e.g. number of training sessions conducted/ number of participants in a training) are different from the ones referring to the outcomes (e.g. improvement in the knowledge of participants given by the difference between a pre- and post-test).
