Program Background The European Union’s (EU) funded Building Resilience In Complex Crisis (BRICC) programme seek to build the absorptive and adaptive capacities of 26,875 households in Yobe state to be resilient to the shock and stresses of conflict, market disruptions, climate change and complex crisis. The programme will also transform the underlying casual dynamics to reduce the risks of future conflict by engaging communities and local leadership to create conditions to facilitate systemic change. Mercy Corps is leveraging its expertise in fostering resilience in complex environments both globally and in Northeast Nigeria, with its partners Cooperazione Internationale (COOPI) and the Danish Refugee Council (DRC)’s whose strong track record of relief and early recovery programs in Yobe state, will enable the consortium to rapidly start up and implement the BRICC program. BRICC’s ToC is IF communities most affected by conflict in Yobe state have improved social protection delivered through responsive, capable government, access to essential basic services and improved livelihood supported by robust markets, and IF key community leaders and government institutions manage resources, services and conflict peacefully and equitably while addressing drivers of participation of violence, THEN communities will achieve increasing well-being over time and experience the impacts of conflict less severely.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Building Resilience In Complex Crisis (BRICC) is a three years European Unioun(EU) funded program

that aims to build the resilience of 26,875 households in Yobe State, to increase their ability to cope

with the shocks and stresses of conflict, climate change and complex crisis, and transform the

underlying causal dynamics to reduce the risk of future occurrence. The Baseline employed the use of

multiple phased approach given the multiple sectorial scope of the Program using mixed method of

Qualitative and Quantitative Data Collection. The Baseline Household survey questionnaire was

administered to 423 respondents across the 6 LGAs of Damaturu, Potiskum, Gulani, Gujba, Geidam

and Yunusari 18years and above using a Simple Random Sampling. The survey focused on Socio-

Demographic Information, Disability, Diversification of Livelihoods, Social Cohesion, Resilience

capacities, Access to financial services, Essential market system functions.

Key Findings from the Baseline Survey: From the analysis, 48% were female and 52%were male with the highest representation in the age category of 35years and above. Using the Washington Group set of question, analysis shows that 17.4%(46.4%female and 53.6%Male) are disabled.

25.0%(32.1%Female and 67.8%Male) Household demonstrating resilience capacity on how prepared they were before the insurgency, they ability to cope with the shocks and stress and recovery from shocks and stress 33.1%(57%Female and 42.1%Male) reported increased diversity of goods and services availability in shops or local markets 20.9%(41.6%female and 58.3%Male) demonstrate improved savings and financial literacy by community members. 34.4%(15.8female and 18.6male) Small Holder Farmers demonstrating improved Technical skills in Climate-Sensitive Knowledge in farming techniques.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Research Design and Rationale

It is central to understand the complexities and interconnectedness of multiple interventions that are aimed at building the resilience of conflict affected household thereby increasing their ability to cope with shocks and stresses. It is on the basis that the Consortium conducted an in-house program baseline that focused on key areas different component of the program. The Consortium conducted a baseline to inform benchmark on key sectors to include but not limited to; Social Protection, Conflict and Peace building, Financial Service linkages, Climate smart Agriculture and Youth entrepreneurship. The baseline survey built on the expanded knowledge generated from the following inception assessments and information was used to design and shape the survey questionnaire

Multiple Phased Baseline Assessment Conducted Conflict Sensitivity Assessment: This assessment identified conflict sensitive issues 1) Insurgent attacks on the communities remains a major conflict threat to peace and security in the communities, 2) High level of kidnapping in the communities, 3) Increased Sexual and gender-based violence, 4) Lack of trust between adults and youth in the communities, 5) Cultural and ideological difference remains a dividing line across communities and 6) Perceived injustice leading to more violence. Youth-Led Labour Market Assessment: the assessment was able to identify vocational training institutions and skills offered at each respective centers, identified information on vocational/skills training opportunities to include not limited to local artisan for placing apprentices, identified sectors with high potentials for job creation for youth and entrepreneurship opportunities and key capacities, constraints and incentives related to increase job creation and establish preference of youth in relation to their capacities and skills

Gender Assessment: The Gender assessment was able to identify key differences as it relates to women, men and youth and specifically, it focused on roles and responsibilities as it regards both gender, resource allocation, decision making during stresses and shocks and how time is used by different gender.

Financial Service Provider Mapping: The Financial Service Provider(FSP) Mapping was able to identify data that BRICC Program will leveraging on to understand the types and features of financial services and products that are tailored to the needs of the target participants and the delivery channels.

Value Chain Assessment: Some of the findings from the VCA Assessment include; 1) There are decrease in yield of cultivated crops as a result of decrease in rainfall, 2) Women are mostly limited to menial jobs in agricultural production process and most of their farming activity are within their Home (Home gardening), 3) Inadequate provision of equipment to aid mechanized farming activities while available privately owned equipment for hire are expensive.

In responding to the uprising need to build the capacities of communities to prevent and manage conflict related shocks and stresses in Yobe State, the program set of outcome indicators that will enable the accomplishment of their goal (BRICC- Build Resilience In Complex Crisis in Yobe States through absorptive, adaptive and Transformational capacities).

Research Approach



The baseline assessment used a Quantitative design approach to gain understanding on baseline study objectives and this specifically used individual semi-structured survey format targeting households in programs targeted communities of BRICC programs and data collected will be used to plan and implement the program effectively. The baseline assessment focused on obtaining information on; Socio-Demographic Information, Disability, Diversification of Livelihoods, Social Cohesion, Resilience capacities, Access to financial services, Essential market system functions. . A random sample size of 423 drawn from a randomly selected interview respondent(Population) 1,145,800 within the selected enumeration areas targeted for program implementation. A pre-test of the research tools was conducted in a community outside implementation sites that had similar characteristics and target audience for the BRICC Program. Study Population The state is dominated by the Kanuri, Hausa and Fulani and other smaller ethnic groups such as Karekare, Barbur. Yobe State consists of seventeen (17) Local Government Areas(LGAs) grouped into three Senatorial Districts with an estimated population of 3,294, 100 from the 2016 projected population. In addition, there are 14 emirate Councils, which advise the local governments on cultural and traditional matters. The baseline assessment was carried out in six(6) Local Government Areas in Yobe State; Damaturu, Potiskum, Gulani, Gujba, Geidam and Yunusari, specifically targeting population between the age of 18 and above of female and male youth, women, men drawn from the selected communities within the LGAs. In order to get the sample size of the population for the baseline assessment the formula below was adopted using the Mercy Corps sample size calculator;

Z2 (p * (1 – p)) * r

n = def f

e2

Where;

n = sample size

deff = design effect, usual assumed to be 2.0

z – z-score of confidence level (usually 1.96 or 1.645 corresponding to 95% or 90% respectively)

p- Proportion of the population exhibiting characteristics of interest (determined from secondary data)

1-p – proportion of the population not exhibiting the character of interest

r – Non-response rate (generally set to 1.1 corresponding to 10% but may change with context)

e = margin of error (to be determined by survey design team, general rule of thumb is 0.10*p=e)

Below is the breakdown of interviews to be conducted across LGAs where the programme will be implemented.

Research tools, Techniques and Language The assessment survey questions were used and informed consent and confidentiality was sought from participants before commencement of data collection. The language used during data collection was the same as the major indigenous language research participants were comfortable speaking – Hausa, Kanuri and English. Where English language was preferred, questionaires were facilitated in English. Tool Pre-Test Before the commencement of fieldwork, a pilot/field testing of the quantitative survey tool was conducted amongst similar particiapants based on similarity to a location sampled for the baseline assessment.. This pilot was carried out in community outside BRICC implementation sites. The pilot was done to assess the understanding of the questions by research participants, the flow of the different questions and the time needed to administer the questionnaires. The tool pre-test provided the team opportunities to identify any contexual sensitivity and challenges that could arise during fieldwork in relation to appropriateness and usability of the instruments and addressed them accordingly.

Data Management, Analysis and Reporting All data was collected using Commcare and daily upload during data collection (with appropriate consent of participants). Quantative data was analysed with MS Excel using the analysis framework that was developed for the study. The data was collected using the mobile platform which hosted the data collection tool (commcare). The baseline qantitative quationnaire was uploaded to commcare and information collected later extracted to excel to provide further analysis.

Results from Table 3. show that 17.4%(46.4%female and 53.6%Male) reported at least one form of disability using the Washington Group standards.

Disability as an umbral term refers to problems such as impairment, activity limitation or participation restriction that indicate the negative aspects of functioning. The Washington Group(WG) also agreed that measurement of disability is associated with variety of purposes which relates to different dimensions of disabilities or different conceptual components of disability models. The Washington Group Short Set on Functioning (WG-SS) as adopted by BRICC program baseline survey focused on six domains; vision impairment, Hearing impairment, Mobility impairment, Cognitive impairment, Self-care impairment and Communication impairment. From Table 3.1, 28.2% had vision impairment, 18.5% had hearing impairment, 26.7% had mobility impairment, 14.6% had self-care impairment and 10.9% had communication impairment. Understanding if the disability status of community functioning will help the BRICC Program better understand and respond to the risk that an individual may face and in turn, a better understanding of the overall risk, or risk profile, of the community. Also increasing age is associated with increasing prevalence of vision impairment in Northern Nigeria as 35+years accounted for 33.7%female and 27.9%male of the 28.2% vision impairment.

Grand Total 14.4% 6.2% 20.5% 33.5% 46.0% 79.5% 100.0%

Results from Table 4 show that 79.5%(33.4%Female and 46%Male) reported diversification in livelihoods. Rural livelihoods diversification has generally occurred as a result of an increased importance of off-farm labor in Households livelihood or through the development of new forms of on-farm/on-site production of non-conventional marketable commodities. Regards to livelihoods it is worthy to mention that gender plays a major role in diversification as seen in Damaturu LGA of the 79.5%, 87.2%(36.2%Female and 51.1%Male) are involved in diversification and due to sociocultural issues in urban settlement. Also in Gujba 83.9% shows diversification of livelihoods with nearly equal proportion of Female and Male (40.3%Female and 43.5%Male) and this resonate with the Gender assessment findings. To assess the resilience strategy of communities by which Households respond to shocks and stress using diversification activities and social support capabilities in order to survive and improve their standards of living, respondents reported diversification in Livestock rearing 25.1%, Crop farming 24.1%, food processing, Tailoring, Automobile ranked among the activities they engage for diversification. Building resilience seems a common reaction to mounting humanitarian needs in communities where much crisis was created, not by short-term emergencies that swiftly pass, but by long-term stress. Diversification of livelihoods and resilience building such as climate smart agriculture, access to financial services and youth empowerment seems the obvious answer when emergency response is often used to reach crises which were predicted and preventable, and where it is increasingly hard to make a sensible distinction between reoccurring and acute problems.

Results from Table 5 show that 82.8%(81.0%Female and 84.6%Male) social cohesion among groups in

the communities. The survey used series of questions to ascertain social cohesion in the community;

Marriages among religion and ethnic groups, working in farm by someone from other religion/ethnic

groups, watching over livestock by someone from other religion/ethnic group, sharing same water point

with other religion/ethnic group, trading of goods among religion/ethnic groups, lending money to

someone from other religion/ethnic groups, inviting others religion/ethnic group for ceremonies, inviting

others for Eid or Christmas or social event, sharing of public facilities, children from other religion/ethnic

group playing with each other. Of the 82.8%, 87%(85%Female and 90.0%Male) agreed for their children

to play together irrespective of the religious or ethnic difference and also 66.7%(63.3%Female and

69.9%Male) agreed to inter religious or ethnic group marriage among each other. As already identified

by the Conflict Sensitivity Assessment, there is need to build community cohesion within and across

communities through cultural festivities which will build more relationships and network and strengthening

interfaith relationship and also providing more access to socioeconomic activities in order to reduce the

vulnerabilities of the community members. Again, involving more women in religious and ethnic group

activities will not only build their resilience alone but also the larger community as their roles will not only

be to respond to religious related issues but also the sexual and gender based violence as they are more

affected during disaster.

This section illustrates how Households in the community prepare, cope and recovered to shock and stress within the community. Social networks and community cohesion, power and marginalization, and risk tolerance each played a key role in determining a household’s resilience. Results from Table 6 show the resilience capacities of Households with BRICC Program intervention. Overall, 25.0%(32.1%Female and 67.8%Male) demonstrated resilience capacities. Prepared for shock and Stress: 24.6%(7.5%female and 17.1%Male) responded they are prepared for shocks and stress with 9.3%(6.5%Female and 2.8%Male) least prepared and female being more prepared to shocks and stress as revealed by the data in Potiskum. Also 41.8%(14.9%female and 26.9%Male) in Yunusari said they are prepared for shocks and stress. Household ability to cope with shocks and stress: Overall, 23.2%(7.7%Female and 15.5%male) indicated their household has the ability to cope with shocks and stress and this indicator gender gap with ability to cope with shocks and stress as they are more vulnerable. By geographical location, Potiskum has the least ability- 8.4%(5.6%Female and 2.8%Male to cope with shocks and stress and in



Gulani LGA Household has the ability to cope with shocks and stress even though the LGA is one of the most frequent attacked by AOGs Household Ability to recover from Shocks and Stresses: 27.3%(8.9Female and 18.5%Male) indicated they have the ability to recover from shocks and stress. Again Potiskum showing the least ability to recover from shocks and stress-6.5%(5.6%Female and 0.9%Male) and Damaturu LGA showing the highest ability to recover from shocks and stress-42.6%(17.0%Female and 25.5%Male). Conflict Sensitivity Assessment shows that in spite the shocks and stress being faced and the multifaceted conflict, community in one way or the other are able to cope and strive. As part of the coping strategy, a number of community members, youth are engaged in farming for commercial purpose and others are hired to farm for others. There is need to continuous multisector approach to address the root causes and drives of conflict. Activities that addresses the drivers of conflict will be taken into cognizance in order to ensure that activities are both conflict sensitive and help build household response abilities to conflict and other forms of shocks they face.

Figure 1. HH Coping Strategy to shocks and stress in the last 6months

Results from Figure 4 indicate respondents coping up strategy to shocks and stress in the last six months with 18% selling off their assets as a coping up strategy to shocks and stress, 14.6% depended on Non-Governmental Organization(NGOs) for support, 13.2% resorted to borrowing and trusting in God, 9.1% resorted to their livelihoods (animal and crops) and 8.7% starting using their savings to cope up with the shocks and stress.

Nearly one-third (31.4%) responded with yes and 49.4% responded that they never took any action to share concerns with Government officials and 19.1% respondents said they didn’t know. Sharing of concerns with Government Officials will being about the desired accountability of Government to these communities and their concerns will be used to address policies within the state and BRICC program through the Yobe State Government is building trust among communities of intervention

Results from Table 8 show participants that responded yes in Table 7. The survey seeks to understand the method of sharing their concerns with the government officials and participants that were asked whether they were able to share their concerns to government verbally or written, of the 31.4% that responded that Government took actions, 64.4% responded Yes-Verbally sharing their concerns with Government officials and 28% said they shared their concerns with government in a written form. Other media through which concerns were shared included Town hall meetings, Political meetings, Women meetings, youth meetings and good governance committee. The BRICC Program through its activities will build the capacity of Stakeholders in Alternate Dispute Resolution in identifying conflict, how to resolve conflict and how to communicate with community members as well as the Government.

Figure 2. Target participants reporting Increased Trust in Government



Trust in government has been identified as one of the most important foundations upon which the legitimacy and sustainability of political systems are built. Trust is essential for social cohesion and well-being as it affects governments’ ability to govern and enables them to act without having to resort to coercion. A high level of trust in government will increase the efficiency and effectiveness of government operations.

At a broad level, trust in government builds on two main components: Social trust, that represents citizens’ confidence in their social community; and political trust, when citizens appraise government and its institutions. Results from Figure 2 show that 25.4%(13.9%male and 14.4%female) have increased trust in government. Participants were asked questions around sharing concerns directly with government, media through which such concerns were shared with government, government understanding of community concerns and the level of confidence that government is committed to addressing their community needs.

their market was burnt down and also Yunusari LGA is among the most hit LGA by the insurgency and as could be deduced from Fig 6, 5.7% do not have market in their communities and this pose a challenge of where to sell their produce as diversification of livelihood tends to increase due to interventions. The BRICC Program through its activities will restore essential markets that will improve greater access for vulnerable population to market for quality inputs and services, and improve on-farm agricultural production.

Figure 4. Reasons for Unavailable Market



Figure 5. Types of Goods Available in the Market

Results from Figure 5 show the varieties of commodities in the market, 84.5% were food commodities, 4.3%livestocks, 3.2% clothing and 2.3% building materials. Types of food that are mostly in demand in the market include cereals, vegetables, legumes and nuts, fish and seafood and this indicate that in the areas where the survey was conducted, Agriculture is the major Income Generating Activities and this create demand for building capacity of farmers on climate smart agriculture

Table 100. Availability of food that are mostly in demand

Participants were asked if the foods that are mostly in demand are regularly available in the market 88.7% responded Yes and 11.3% responded No. Of the 11.2% in Yunusari LGA, 45.2% said for the food that are mostly in demand, they are not regularly available in the market and this is partly associated with

AOG attack with the region as farmers often transport their food to other location to sell. Again, all respondent in Potiskum LGA agreed to availability of food that are most in demand and this is partly attributed to the fact that the LGA boarded by other states that continuously flood the market with goods and services.

Indicator Value 57.8% 42.1% 33.1%

In assessing the diversification of goods and services in local markets, results from Table 9 indicate that 33.1%(57%Female and 42.1%Male) reported increased diversity of goods and services availability in shops or local markets. As shown in the Table 11, the role of female gender in diversification of goods and services, women are more involved in diversification of goods and services in local market compared to men which resonates with the findings from the Gender Assessment- women are more inclined to selling of agricultural products as opposed to farming as an Income Generation Activity(IGA)This diversification supports multiple businesses within the community and flexibility which implies that should a price of goods and services plummet, the vendors remain insulated and this resonates to ability of withstanding shocks and stress should they occur. Also when there is low demand of certain products within the communities, the vendor has that flexibility to meet the demand of the consumers and also boost their profitability. Therefore, targeting women for diversification of goods and services will be considered by the BRICC Program.

Overall, Table 12 demonstrate improved savings by community members, 20.95%(41.6%females and 58.3%Males) showed increased financial literacy. Saving accounts are basic types of bank accounts that allow an individual to deposit money, keep it safe and withdraw fund. Participants were assessed to know if they have group accounts with any financial institutions and 18.9%(8.7%females and 10.3%Males) of respondents said Yes they have saving accounts with financial institutions and 15.5%(3.4%females and 12.1%Males) said they have individual accounts with a financial institution, also, respondent were asked if they ever applied to obtain loan and 28.5%(14.1%Female and 14.4%Male) responded Yes they ever applied for loan. The essence of having a savings account supports a Poor Vulnerable Household in attaining financial freedom aside an emergency fund, and have access to credit and loans to support in starting a new business, expand already existing businesses. From the data above, it is worthy to note the gender disparity regarding account ownership with financial institutions and this is partly due to inability or difficulty in reaching women through the usual channels that target men in north east Nigeria, social norms constrain women’s demand for financial services and women having less access to technology. There are also gender gaps regarding access to financial service providers as shown in Geidam 4.7%(30.7%Female and 69.2%Male) and in Gujba LGA 11.9%(27.2%Female and 72.7%Male) which implies that female do not have access to financial services such as having individual/group accounts with financial service providers even though due to insurgency, banks within these LGAs were destroyed and they travel far distance to other LGAs to access financial products. The BRICC Program



through its activities will be ensure community members have access to financial services via Savings and Loan Groups, Linkages of these Groups to Financial Service Providers iO4: Essential market system functions restored and improved resulting in greater access for vulnerable populations to markets for quality inputs and services, and improved on-farm agricultural production

Analysis from Table 13 show that 23.0%(43.8%Female and 56.1%Male) demonstrated using improved farming techniques. The survey questions seek to understand modern land preparation techniques used by farmers, what types of seed they plant and if they ever used storage devices. 18.5%(7.1%Female and 11.4%Male) responded Yes they have used modern equipment in land preparation, 14.4%(6.2%Female and 8.2%Male) said they have ever used improved seeds in their farms and also 36.2%(17.1%Female and 19.1Male) reported ever using improved storage device. The findings also resonate with the Value Chain Assessment in which farmers reported ever using modern land preparation method such as the use of Ox-Ploughing, ever used farmers saved seeds and genetically modified seeds and the use of PIT bag from ADP Yobe state. The BRICC program through the agricultural component will train Agric Extension Workers and ADP staff on Climate Smart agriculture, crop rotation, application of integrated pest management will be cascaded to lead farmers and small holder farmers and creating linkages for farmers to have better access to tools and new technologies and farming practices that will enable them produce more with less to improve yield of crops and livestock.

Results from Table 14 show SHF use and application of fertilizers, Pesticides, Post-harvest handling and irrigation farming;. 69.0%(27.1%females and 41.9%males) responded ever using fertilizer on their farms with Potiskum and Yunusari LGAs using fertilizer during farming compared to other LGAs. 62%(26.7%females and 36%males) responded ever using pesticides on their farms with Yunusari and Gulani using more of the pesticides 14.6% and 11.8% respectively. 41.5%(17.8%females and 23.7%males) responded ever using post-harvest handling with high rate usage in Yunusari and Geidam 10.5% and 7.3% respectively. 30.3%(9.8%females and 20.5%males) responded practicing irrigation farming in their communities and more of the irrigation farming is observed in Potiskum LGA with 10.9% and this is associated with availability of water with the region and available of farming technologies as farmers improvise using water pump when the demand for an agricultural product is high.

Grand Total 47.84% 52.16% 100.00% Various methods of planting are practices in crop farming by Small Holder farmers with the goal of producing large yields of seed with a high germination rate and with greater return on investment on his farm. Results from Table 14 show planting methods in BRICC Program location. 56.9%(25.7%-females and 31.2%-males) practice Line Planting method due to the access to cattle and this reduces the burden of labor and the use of donkeys and cattle for the purpose of farming on large land. 23.5%(7.1%-females and 16.4%-males) practice ploughing method and few practice Heap making 3.9%(0.5%-females and 3.4%-males) as the types of crops planted in the region are mostly cereals and few legumes as such the low number of heap making. CONCLUSION Based on the evidence from the analysis in sections above, it is clear that Households in the Six LGAs of intervention are facing some significant challenge as a result of exposure to conflict shocks in Yobe State and frequent attack by AOG resulting in loss of livelihoods and negative coping mechanism. Despite the effect of conflict on household well being, there are evidence of key characteristics that seems to make household more resilient to the effect of the conflict.

Below are key points to explain these dynamics;

People with Disability(PWD): Establishing a system that support social inclusion of PWD will be prioritize and these systems will realize the prosperous livelihoods in the communities of intervention. BRICC Program will also be working with PWD and as 17.4% of 26,875 of the program beneficiaries(participants) will be PWD and will be involved in the different component of the program and their capacities will be built to be able to withstand shocks and stresses as well as diversification of their livelihood.



Data has reveal that conflict in Yobe State remains multifaceted and needs a continuous multisector approach in addressing the root causes and drivers of conflict in the state. Since 25.0%(32.1Female and 67.8%Male) show resilience capacities, and also showing gender disparity, program activities will take into cognizance this difference and will be intentional in bridging the gap by involving more women in activities that will build their resilience such as preparedness to shocks and stress, coping strategies during shocks and stress and recovery strategies after a shocks and or stress.

Vulnerable and Conflict affected households having access to improved livelihoods that are more resilient to conflict and as already identified by the baseline that 33.1%(57%Female and 42.1%male) reported increase diversification of goods and services in local markets, the BRICC program will strengthen poor vulnerable household to have diversification to livelihoods such as on farm and off farm opportunities, creating access to inputs and training market information and also linking farmers to premium traders.

Access to financial literacy and product is limited in the areas of implementation of the BRICC program and as shown in the baseline 20.9%(41.6%Female and 58.3%Male) demonstrated improved savings and financial literacy due to AOG attack and destructions of microfinance institutions within these LGAs access to financial services is scarce as such the BRICC program will be creating or strengthening Saving and Loan Groups with communities using sharia compliant guide as this will bridge the gap of unavailability to microfinance institutions as community members will have access to take loans from the group to start, restart a business to diversify their livelihoods.

The BRICC Program through activities will restore essential markets within the six LGAs of intervention by negotiating a number of benefits for Small holder farmers such as access to inputs, and training on market information, higher prices of goods and services through bulk purchasing and since only 23.0% showed improved technical skills in climate smart agriculture it is imperative to build the capacity of small holder farmers in climate smart agriculture and post-harvest management.

The Coordinator may unilaterally amend the activities, outputs, all the indicators and the related targets,

baselines and sources of verification described in this logical framework in accordance with Article 9.4

of the General Conditions. Any change must be explained in the reports, whenever possible

anticipatively. In case of doubt it is recommended to check beforehand with the Contracting Authority

that the proposed modifications do not impact the basic purpose of the action.

Although it is allowed to have more than one specific objective, essentially in complex programmes, it is

a good practice to determine only one specific objective/(main) outcome. When necessary,

intermediary outcomes with their related (outcome) indicators my figure in the line of the outputs: the

sequence of abbreviations in this case should be: Oc (main outcome); iOc1 (intermediary outcome 1)

iOc2, (…); Op1.1. (output related to intermediary outcome 1), Op 1.2, Op 2.1., Op2.2. (…).

Definitions:

“Impact” means the primary and secondary, long term effects produced by the Action.

“Outcome” means the likely or achieved short-term and medium-term effects of an Action’s outputs.

“Output” means the products, capital goods and services which result from an Action’s activities.

“Indicator” is the quantitative and/or qualitative factor or variable that provides a simple and reliable

means to measure the achievement of the Results of an Action.

“Baseline” means the starting point or current value of the indicators.

“Target” (or results Goal) means the quantitatively or qualitatively measurable level of expected output,

outcome or impact of an Action.

A “logical framework matrix” (or “logframe matrix”) is a matrix in which results, assumptions, indicators,

targets, baselines, and sources of verification related to an action are presented.

The intervention logic tells how, in a given context, the activities will lead to the outputs, the outputs to

the outcome(s) and the outcome(s) to the expected impact. The most significant assumptions

developed in this thinking process are to be included in the logframe matrix.
