Brief Historical Development of the Institution

The Misamis Oriental State College of Agriculture and Technology (MOSCAT) is

a public non-sectarian institution of higher learning principally supported by state funds. As a state institution of higher education, the College‟s main trust is “to provide higher professional instruction in agriculture, industry, in the arts and sciences besides giving technical and vocational training; to promote research, community and development services.” (B.P. No. 402, S.1983, the College Charter).

The College started as a municipal high school in 1963. It became the “Claveria National Rural High School (CNRHS)” by virtue of R.A. 3781; converted into a state college upon the approval of B.P. No 402 on June 10, 1983, and subsequently its name was changed from Claveria National Rural High School to Misamis Oriental State College of Agriculture and Technology or MOSCAT.

The College now offers two Doctorate programs: the PhD in Animal Science and PhD in Crop Science, Masters in Agriculture Science and Technology (MAST), six baccalaureate programs: BS in Agriculture, BS in Agroforestry, Bachelor in Agriculture Technology, Bachelor of Technology in Horticulture Management, BS in Environmental Engineering and Bachelor in Food Technology.

MOSCAT Vision and Mission

Vision

A premier academic institution of higher learning in the region and in the country.

Mission

To advance the well-being of the people of Misamis Oriental and Northern Mindanao, MOSCAT shall primarily provide higher technological, professional and vocational instruction and training in the fields of Agriculture, Industry as well as in the Arts and Sciences consistent with goals of national development. It shall also promote research and advanced studies and professional leadership in the various disciplines and areas of specialization.

Description of the Service Area

MOSCAT is located in the upland farming community of Claveria, one of the 24 municipalities composing the province of Misamis Oriental. It is 45 km Northeast of Cagayan de Oro City and overlooking Macajalar and Gingoog Bays. Claveria is linked and accessible from the coastal highway by two routes: 1) via Jasaan town; and 2) the new route through Villanueva. The latter route is shorter and is only 42 km away from the city and 100 km away from Laguindingan Airport. The town can be reached by public utility jeepneys, privately owned cars and other vehicles within an hour‟s ride from the city.

Occupying almost one-third of the province of Misamis Oriental, the municipality of Claveria is called as the “vegetable bowl” of the province. Claveria was used to be called as the “tomato country” of the region because of its high quality tomatoes. With

6

an elevation of 400 to 2,000 meters above sea level giving it cool climate earned the municipality its name as “the little Baguio” or “summer capital” of Northern Mindanao.

As a state institution of higher learning, MOSCAT is strategically positioned to serve Region 10. The Cagayan de Oro-Iligan Industrial Corridor (CIIC) Master Plan has designated Claveria as the main supplier of foods and other agricultural raw material for the region. CIIC is a regional economic zone of the national government to speed the industrialization and development of Northern Mindanao. Its vast agricultural resources and its proximity to urban industrial centers, seaports and airports of the region has gained the municipality a distinction and comparative advantage of becoming the agricultural business center in areas covered by the CIIC and other parts of the region.

Research, Development and Extension Program

It is often said that instruction whether formal or non-formal without inputs from research is sterile and research without extension is useless. The three therefore are inextricably linked because they constitute the reasons for an institution to be a college (Nagtalon, 1998).

The ultimate goal of MOSCAT‟s RD&E program is the holistic, integrated development of the people in its service area to the end that they may solve their various problems and upgrade their quality of life. Thus, a responsive research program should generate adaptive and viable technologies relevant to local, regional, and national thrusts. RD&E efforts aim at assisting its clientele to bring about continuous improvement in their physical, economic and social well-being through their active involvement as partners in all aspects of research and development.

Vision

The RDE unit envisions to be a center of excellence in research and extension in agriculture, environment and allied sciences for building resilient communities in Northern Mindanao.

THE EXTENSION PROGRAM

The extension unit of MOSCAT believes that supporting and strengthening extension programs of the college will bridge the gap between the academe and the community thereby hastening agricultural development in the countryside.

For MOSCAT development program to be relevant to the community, extension must be instrumental in establishing the bridge by providing the college an opportunity to “get its hand dirty”. Working with farmers, extension agents, agribusiness persons and other sectors of agriculture gives the college field experience; therefore, it makes teaching more relevant (Ponce, 1997). It also provides researchers‟ problems of the community to which their researches are to be based.

Goals

1. Thrust

The extension thrust is on the development of programs and projects based on technologies generated from researches for validation, adoption and utilization by the farmers and other stakeholders to increase productivity and improve management of resources.

2. Linkages

Linkages with public/private agencies, local government units, national and international agencies for a synergistic approach in the delivery of service and transfer of technologies.

3. Manpower Development

Trainings of extensionists and hiring of qualified extension workers for more effective management of extension programs and projects.

Objectives

1. To develop a well-organized information and communication support services for instruction, research and production undertakings.

2. To develop a well-coordinated program in its service area for validation, promotion and commercialization of generated technologies.

3. Sustain through intensification of field activities in the implementation of on-going development programs and projects.

4. Provide continuing education program/training courses responsive to the needs of trainers‟ group/organizations and trainees.

5. Conduct regular monitoring, evaluation and documentation of on-going and completed extension programs, projects and activities.

6. To encourage collaboration and consultation among technology generators, service

17

providers and adopters for a more efficient and effective extension program implementation.

Extension Program Concept Note: Vision 2020 TITLE: Mauswagong Panginabuhian: Kaplag sa Asensadong Agripreneur

sa Amihanang Mindanao (Progressive Living: Search for Productive Agripreneur in Northern Mindanao)

DURATION: January 2016- December 2020 RATIONALE:

It has been the vision of MOSCAT to be a premiere academic institution of higher learning in the region and in the country, advancing the well-being of the people of Misamis Oriental and Northern Mindanao thru its four-fold function: Research, Instruction, Production and Extension.

MOSCAT as an institution of higher education is mandated to offer courses in agriculture and environmental sciences. Equipped with capable manpower to conduct research and extension activities, the college envisions being a centre of excellence in research and extension in agriculture, environment and allied sciences for building resilient communities in Northern Mindanao.

Supporting and strengthening an extension program will bridge the gap between the academe and the community thereby hastening agricultural development in the countryside. For MOSCAT development program to be relevant to the community, its extension program must be instrumental in establishing the bridge by providing the college an opportunity to “get its hand dirty”. Working with farmers, extension agents, agribusiness persons and other sectors of agriculture gives the college field experience; therefore, it makes teaching more relevant (Ponce, 1997). It also provides researchers‟ problems of the community to which their researches are to be based.

The Mauswagong Panginabuhian: Kaplag sa Asensadong Agri-preneur sa Amihanang Mindanao builds and improves on the existing approaches in the delivery and conduct of technology training, community extension, and development education

An Agri-preneur is an entrepreneur who focuses on agriculture sector. An agri-preneur must be educated to at least the secondary school level because of the complexities of running a successful business. It is preferable that a tertiary education is completed but if this is not possible, an agri-preneur must attend courses as and when needed to acquire the required knowledge. Good agricultural training is essential. But so too is training in business skills, marketing and ICTs (Etti K, 2013).

Agripreneurs are a new breed of entrepreneurs combining their love on farming and agriculture with business. Agripreneurs can range of any age groups; however most are younger people getting back into the food business to bring healthy better choices to the consumers. Not all agripreneurs are farmers, some have taken the path of adding value through processing or new packaging for the foods that farmers have grown (www.agrilicious.gov, 2015).

18

Through this program, the agripreneur will be involved in the agri-environmental education system such as eco/organic farming or smart agriculture, utilization of compost and institutionalized waste segregation, diversified farming system and in protecting the environment and the ecosystem. The program intends to facilitate integration of farm planning and budgeting and on biodiversity awareness. Conduct social activities related to livelihood generation, family planning, violence against women and their children. An agri-preneur must be aware and conscious on health and nutrition issues including technology on food preparation, 4G program and informal education among others.

OBJECTIVES:

This program will help strengthen the extension activity of MOSCAT and builds and improves on the existing approaches in the conduct of technology training, community extension and development education.

Specifically, this program aims to: 1. Determine the demographic and socio-economic profile of farmers;

2. Conduct technology needs assessment;

3. Conduct capacity building;

4. Document the successful agricultural and environmental practices and

accomplishment of information and technology in the area;

5. Conduct social intervention and awareness on gender development and other

social issues;

6. Recognize exemplary performance of agripreneur in implementation of the

program; and

7. Evaluate the impact of extension project in the identified sites.

BENEFICIARIES OF THE PROGRAM: Northern Mindanao Agripreneurs METHODOLOGY:

As part of MOSCAT Extension Vision 2020, the Mauswagong Panginabuhian: Kaplag sa Asensadong Agripreneur sa Amihanang Mindanao (Progressive Living: Search for Productive Agripreneur in Northern Mindanao) will become the banner extension program of MOSCAT commencing January 2016, a five-year program that would focus on assisting and assessing progressive farmer entrepreneurs.

Northern Mindanao will be the scope of the program in its search for the most progressive and productive agripreneur. The first year of implementation will cover the immediate locale of MOSCAT covering the 24 barangays of the municipality of Claveria, Misamis Oriental. Instantaneously should the program be successful, thereafter, radiating to its nearby municipalities in the province of Misamis Oriental and expanding to various provinces in Northern Mindanao for the next 3-4 years of its implementation.

Research, Instruction, Production, Extension (RIPE) in the Home Program

Rationale

Despite the numerous literacy and livelihood programs already implemented in the country, access to quality education is still not completely realized particularly affecting the remotest areas of majority of the provinces in the country. This is due to the house‟s distance to the nearest educational institution; inaccessible roads; unfavorable weather condition; and ultimately due to poverty. These are just among the many factors that hamper literacy in the country.

Accounts of poor families have been always noted having 5-8 household size who can hardly afford to send their children to school. To address this, scholarship programs were sponsored by both private and government entities. However, the illiteracy problem is still scaling greater heights, instigating limited socio-economic options to the affected families. In fact, students under sponsorship of scholarship programs still experience difficulties in terms of financial support from their parents to cover up expenses for food and lodging, school supplies and projects. Furthermore, students with stronger motivation opted to stay in their residences to cut off expenses and take the last alternative of hiking, by which, they would spend an hour or more walking from their home-base to the school every day.

This program intends to address such situation by conceptualizing the most effective and appropriate alternative delivery mechanisms to reduce poverty and facilitate equal access to quality education of poor families, in collaboration with the multi-program partners from the academe, local government units, government line agencies, and government-owned corporations/organizations, in order to fast-track national progress and development.

28

Goal

Make every household a domestic school for RIPE programs, providing relevant and quality technological, professional and vocational education and training in the fields of agriculture, forestry, industry as well as in the arts and sciences; and promoting research and technologies consistent with the goals for national development.

Objective

The program intervention shall have its focus on bringing tele-education (or e-Education) to every household, making them a channel for literacy and livelihood programs anchored on the Academic Institution‟s output on Research, Instruction, Production and Extension (RIPE), to help the rural individuals and families attain higher level of education by empowering them with the skills and knowledge, new appropriate RIPE technologies that can give them a variety of economic options, cultivating their hidden maximum potentials, thus, enabling them to become self-reliant.

Specific Objectives

1. To establish and institutionalize relevant RIPE literacy and livelihood programs with flexible strategies addressing every area of hindering factors relative to the economic and educational needs of the pilot area.

2. To conduct formal or informal training to selected households of the pilot area empowering them towards proper utilization, operation and management mechanisms of electronic educational delivery system

3. To provide electronic communication hardware for the households that will serve as the media of RIPE literacy and livelihood programs giving easy access to the least fortunate Filipino families.

4. To transform the conventional way of education towards current trend on global learning experience, bringing more alternatives or economic options to the rural people.

Methodologies

1. Conduct of Baseline Data Survey with analysis and interpretation 2. Conduct of educational tours to other neighboring countries in Asia adopting

similar literacy program for replication 3. Orientation on the program in the different levels (Project Management level,

program partners level and multi-stakeholders level) 4. Collaborative efforts for Strategic Planning by the multi-program partners 5. Community-based planning 6. Training of management staff/project officers, and immediate stakeholders 7. Conduct of monitoring and evaluation 8. Conduct of project impact assessment 9. Review and assessment of areas needing improvement 10. Re-planning 11. Feedbacking

The Organic Agriculture Center (OAC) in support to RIPE Program

The Organic Agriculture Center in support to RIPE Program showcased a one-stop shop facility, resembling a native hut („bahay kubo‟) made of native construction

materials. The facility will be available for walk-in farmers, clients, students, researchers,

29

development implementers, and other stakeholders. It is also intended to provide the farmers‟ various needs for technology demonstration through actual experience, techno video guides, sample seeds and products, and farm technology reading materials. The initial 800 m2 agri-park showcased model vegetable garden, medicinal and culinary herbal plants, agricultural and garbage recycling area, organic fertilizer sample products (vermicast, vermitea, fermented biodegradable materials, etc.), vermiworms production area, vermimeal samples, and inland fishpond (100 m2). In addition, technologies developed in the college shall be available for information dissemination purposes. Other information such as volume of production and income generated from each commodity shall also be updated regularly in the bulletins of the center.

The project aims to increase economic productivity of the farmer beneficiaries and sustain environmental quality through the introduction of organic diversified farming system and utilization of household and agricultural residues.

MOSCAT-Farmers‟ Information and Technology Services (FITS)

Famers‟ Information and Technology Services (FITS) or Techno Pinoy is a one-stop information shop of technologies on agriculture, forestry and natural resources that caters to the needs of the farmers, entrepreneurs, traders, processors and other clients.

3. The Award Scheme

Involvement in research activity is necessary to the professional growth and development of faculty members and non-teaching personnel, which in turn, is considered to be a vital ingredient in good instruction. This award scheme recognizes and rewards faculty and non-teaching personnel after having their researches and development activities presented in national and international conferences/fora and/or published in refereed journals or scholarly books and it does not imply that they are more important than the other functions such as Instruction, Extension and Production. Instead, this approach taken here toward

35

research publication/presentation simply reflects the fact that it is a more easily identified and measured product than the outputs associated with excellent teaching or other services.

The award scheme could be in the form of travel expenses, cash rewards, and plaque of recognition charged to Higher Education Personal Services (Honoraria). The rewards for research and development presentation/publication should be pre-specified to eliminate any uncertainty about one‟s monetary reward and also, to avoid the problem of someone receiving compensation for the same presentation/publication more than once.

Interested proponents must comply with the following basic requirements in order to receive rewards payments:

1. Certificate of presentation of the output reported to the Agency In-House Review (AIHR)

2. Letter of Intent thru channel (which is to be recommended by the Director of the RDEO to the VPAA who will in turn endorse to the College President)

3. Letter of Acceptance 4. Full copy of the technical paper 5. Certification from sponsoring entity/ies

Presentation and publication extracted from similar research study shall be rewarded once whichever is higher. In the case of thesis and dissertation, any outputs gathered within these activities shall follow the same provision above. Presentations and/or publications from researches/extension activities that have not passed through the RDE Council during its conceptualization or early implementation phase shall not be considered to receive any form of rewards payments.

If two people publish the same quality article in the same journal, then they should receive the same reward. It is necessary, however, that the paper/article should bear the name of the College. For multiple authors, the amount shall be distributed equitably among them. Said partition shall be decided by the group.

The cash reward for presenting and publishing an output may be released quarterly after an individual has showed proof of evidence of presentation and/or publication (like certification from sponsoring agency) in any specified category below aside from the received letter confirming acceptance for publication with the corresponding reference code and expected date of publication or other proofs that the paper will really be published. The RDE Council through the President will screen and determine the final lists of individual entitled to receive the said rewards.

The rewards to be received by faculty and non-teaching personnel are categorized as follows:

The College shall only fund presentation of output to conferences/fora which releases conference proceedings with official publication serial numbers (ISSN/ISBN).

Operational Definition of Terms/Specifications

In order to avoid ambiguous interpretation of the terms used in the award scheme, the following terms are hereby defined for proper guidelines, to wit:

Publication

A publication can be a book, book chapter or a journal article. The award scheme will include categories in presentation of research output in conferences and/or inclusion in the conference proceedings with official publication serial numbers.

Books

The types of books that may be considered are;

37

1. critical scholarly texts 2. new interpretations of historical events 3. new ideas or perspectives based on established research findings.

The types of books that will not be considered are:

1. textbooks 2. anthologies 3. edited books 4. creative works such as novels 5. translations 6. revisions/new editions

Note: Many of the books published by professional bodies do not report original

research findings but report the results of evaluations, or repackage existing information for the benefit of professionals or practitioners. It is important that these publications are assessed very carefully against the definition of research and only count those publications which report research activities.

For purposes of these specifications, research will comprise of the following:

i. creative work undertaken on a systematic basis in order to increase the stock of knowledge, including knowledge of man, culture and society, and the use of this stock of knowledge to devise new applications

ii. any activity classified as research which is characterized by originality; it should have investigation as a primary objective and should have the potential to produce results that are sufficiently general for humanity's stock of knowledge (theoretical and/or practical) to be recognizably increased. Most higher education research work would qualify as research.

iii. Pure basic research, strategic basic research, applied research and experimental development.

This category refers to a contribution, consisting substantially of new material, to an edited compilation in which the material is subject to editorial scrutiny.

The types of books that may be considered are:

a. a scholarly introduction of chapter length to an edited volume, where the content of the introduction reports research and makes a substantial contribution to a defined area of knowledge;

b. a critical scholarly text of chapter length; and c. critical reviews of current research.

Journals

Any periodical containing scholarly articles and/or disseminating current information on research and development in a particular subject field. A periodical is defined as a serial appearing or intended to appear indefinitely at regular or state intervals, generally more frequently than annually. Magazines, journals and newspapers are all periodicals.

Refereed/peer- reviewed journals refers to a refereed journal that has a

38

structured reviewing system in which at least two reviewers, excluding in-house editors, evaluate each unsolicited manuscript and advice the editor as to acceptance or rejection.

To be included in this category the journal article must meet the definition of research and must:

a. be published in a scholarly journal; and b. have an International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) or ISI c. Some journals may be regularly published as separate volumes with ISBN

rather than an ISSN. Provided that the publication is clearly identified as an edition of a journal, and not a book, articles in such publications may be considered.

d. If an ISSN does not appear in the journal, external evidence such as an ISSN number being cited in an extract from one of the institute for Scientific Information indexes (www.isinet.com/juornals) is required.

The types of journal articles that may meet the above criteria include the following:

i. commentaries and communications of original research ii. research notes iii. critical scholarly texts which appear in article form iv. articles reviewing multiple works or an entire field of research v. articles in a stand-alone series.

Conference publications

To be included in this category the conference publication must meet the definition of research and must:

a. be published in full. The papers may appear in a number of different formats, e.g. a volume of proceedings, a special edition of a journal, a normal issue of a journal, a book or a monograph, CD ROM or conference or organizational web site; and,

b. have an International Standard Serial Number (ISSN).

IV. Research Proposal Preparation and Presentation

1. Proposal Initiation/campaign

The Research Head/RDE Director initiates and coordinates with the Deans of different institutes in the holding of symposia of the whole research and extension community. These symposia are intended to define research thrusts, priorities and directives. The symposium or symposia may be once a year. Institute Deans may also initiate such activity in their respective units in coordination with the RDE director. It is in this forum that research and extension‟s “state of the arts” and opportunities are known.

2. Proposal Preparation

The results of the symposium will become a major basis for preparing proposals. Proposals may be discipline-specific or inter-disciplinary. Proposals that are

39

conceptualized and proposed may be done by individuals or inter-disciplinary groups. The group may cut across disciplines and departments either within the college of involving various colleges. Proposal may also be prepared directly in collaboration with clientele or funding agency.

3. Things to consider in Proposal Preparation

a. The college has adequate technical and administrative personnel. Research and Extension grants are also means of augmenting logistics requirements. Therefore, as a matter of policy, personnel requirements should be minimized. This can be done by utilizing the existing resources of the college.

b. Budgetary requirements should be proportionate to the size of the experiments (land area, number of samples for analysis, animals used, etc.). Unit costs of experiments are reviewed during evaluation.

c. Salary rates and honoraria rates must be based on current rates of funding agency as long as they are within the regulations prescribed by the Department of Budget and Management (DBM).

d. Proposals which objectives are attainable over a short duration (2 years) would get better chances of approval than longer duration (5 years).

e. The proposal must be concise but substantial in content as to indicate the theoretical framework, sample and experimental size and statistical design, for the case of research undertaking; and model to be tested, success indicators, approaches to be used and withdrawal scheme for the case of development undertaking. Proposal should not be too general in content, as this will appear vague and superficial.

f. A good review of related literature done by other investigators would provide a good impression of thoroughness.

4. Review and evaluation of proposals

There are two approaches for review and evaluation of proposals at any levels in the review and evaluation ladders as depicted in Figure 2.

a. Only proposal submitted for review and evaluation within the prescribed schedules will be reviewed by the RDE Council.

b. In the case of proposals for outside funding that is submitted for review and evaluation outside of the prescribed schedules, the review group evaluate this as the need arises.

c. Proposals that cut across various disciplines or departments involving other institutes shall be initially reviewed by the Institute Research/Extension Committee where the team leader or major components belong.

5. Review and evaluation schedules

b. The College President shall approve hiring of personnel. b. All research personnel hired for certain projects shall be on contractual basis

and co-terminus with the project.

VII. Monitoring and Evaluation of RDE Projects

Monitoring and evaluation of on-going and completed RDE projects are important tools to determine if the resources invested to such projects are used efficiently and effectively. Monitoring of on-going projects confirms whether activities are being implemented as planned. Bottle necks and problems are identified as they emerge and checked immediately for necessary action. Evaluation of completed project on the other hand confirms whether the activities did or did not lead to the expected results. The evaluation of a completed research activity can go one step further to demonstrate the impact of the results on the people who are expected to benefit from it.

1. Evaluation

All on-going research undertakings whether short term or long-term activities must undergo field evaluation by the RDE Council to discuss with the researchers the progress of its implementation at least twice a year depending on the project duration. This consists of visits to experimental site by at least three (3) members of the RDE Council as recommended by the RDE office at specific date pre-arranged by the proponents. An evaluation form to be secured from the RDE Office must be accomplished by the proponents duly signed by the said evaluators which will be submitted back to the RDE Office as a proof of the said activity.

2. Agency In-house Review

This is conducted annually to assess the attainment of objectives of the College‟s completed and on-going RDE projects, to identify new research areas and identify mature and potential technologies ready for packaging and significant information for policy formulation and development planning of the agency. Only on-going and completed RDE undertakings that passed through the evaluation of the RDE council and/or research activities which are duly recognized by the College are to be presented in the AIHR.

All on-going RDE undertakings especially institutionally funded activities must be presented on the subsequent AIHRs until the study/project will be completed based on its specified duration, otherwise exceptional cases will apply with corresponding written explanation to be submitted to the RDEO. In any cases, proponents are required to submit detailed on-going Technical Reports during scheduled AIHRs, and terminal reports for every research and development undertakings.

AIHR is conducted annually in coordination with the regional consortia (NOMCAARRD). Significant information or breakthroughs identified during the AIHR are elevated in the regional integrated review.

GUIDE INTHE PREPARATION IN THE OF THE PROJECT FRAMEWORK

The project framework is an analytical tool design projects and to facilitate monitoring and managing their implementation.

Goal:

1. Goal refers to the broader objective to which the project contributes. What is the overall reason of the project .To what national program objective will the project contribute?

2. The goal shall address any of the following thrusts of the Agriculture and Fisheries modernization Act (AFMA): Poverty alleviation, food security, global competitiveness, sustainable development and people empowerment. Purpose:

3. These are specific objectives of the project. It describes the immediate impact or results based on the project‟s outputs.

4. The project purpose is the specific result desired of the project. A well –conceived projects should have an explicitly defined purpose that contributes to the global.

61

Project Outputs:

1. Project outputs are the specific results expected to be produced by managing project inputs.

2. Specify and describe what the project will deliver (e.g. description of technology or information generated from research, etc.)

3. As much as possible, the outputs shall be tangible and measurable. These should be presented as accomplishments rather than activities.

4. The outputs may be physically quantitative and behavioural.

a. How will you do the project? b. A brief summary of these activities should be presented and should be adequate

enough to reflect and outline the intended strategy to accomplish each output.

Inputs:

1. The support necessary to implement activities. 2. Inputs are expected to produce specific outputs. Inputs are usually various

combination of personnel supplies and materials, equipment, training, budget, contracting services, etc.

Project Targets-Objectively Verifiable Indicators (OVI):

1. The project targets are the verifiable indicators of the project achievement. 2. The basic principle behind this is:”if you can measure it, you can manage it”. 3. The indicator is the unit of measurement which facilitates concise, comprehensive and

a balance judgment about a situation. 4. A target is an explicit statement of results desired for an indicator over any specified

time period, at any level (output, purpose or goal). It is the planned performance standard by which actual performance any be subsequently compared and measured.

5. The indicators of GOAL achievement maybe quantitative or behaviour; or a mixture. Measures of achievement should indicate a causative relationship between project purpose and goal. A single project will not usually be the total cause of goal achievement. Other projects and none- project factors usually have a significant influence.

6. The OVI for the PURPOSE is the statement of the End-of-Project-Status (EOPS). It is a description of the conditions that are expected to exist when the project is successfully concluded. The OVI maybe quantitative.
