Annex 2 Logframes and planning

Annex to subsidy application FDW17 (3rd call, round 2017)

  • The project Logframes present the project’s activities, output and outcome the PPP commits itself to.
  • Two work packages (WP) are mandatory for FDW applications: The first is WP inception; the second is WP Project requirements and closure. The project inception includes all outputs and related activities that are preconditions for further successful project implementation such as a partnership agreement and required licenses. It may not include activities, output and outcome on actual project implementation (e.ghardware investments, training). The WP Project requirements and closure includes activities and outputs related to the entire project implementation period. It includes requirements related to FDW, such as annual reporting on the project, the sustainability compact, and finalisation of the project.
    The main project activities and results are presented in the other WPs. Each WP can contain one or more outcomes and related outputs and activities. Typically, a project has 4-5 WPs, including the mandatory WPs.
  • With the exception for the “WP inception” and “WP project requirements and closure” all WPs have to be the result of a logical clustering of these elements and must be labelled to one of the FDWthemes:
  • Sustainable access to clean drinking water and sanitation (including waste)
  • Efficient water use, especially in agriculture
  • Improved river basin management and safe deltas.

Note that FDW proposals can include activities and have outputs related to more than one of the FDW themes. However, the proposal must be submitted under only one (primary) FDW theme. At least 50% of the project expenses have to be linked to this (primary) theme. This percentage will be determined based on the labelling of the WPs, not taking into account the WP inception and WP project requirements and closure.

  • Since the Project purpose (impact) isalready mentioned in the Project plan it has been omitted from the Logframes.
  • In the Logframes the following columns need to be filled in:
  • Summary: Short description of the outcome/output/activities. This has to be specific and quantified.
  • Indicators: The indicator that is used to measure progress and completion of the related outcome/output/activity.
  • Means of Verification (MoV): The method of verifying and accounting the achievement of the outcome and output. Project activities will be verified by use of the MoVs of the directly related outputs. If, during implementation, the situation requires it, RVO.nl can request project management documentation to verify project activities.
  • Risk/assumption. This column lists risks and assumptions that must be true in order for one level (e.g. activities) to lead to the next level (e.g. output). The listed risks/assumptions at outcome level must be true in order to contribute to the desired impact which is not shown in the Logframes.
  • If needed, extra rows can be added to include more outcomes, outputs or activities.
  • If an outcome or output is verified with more than one Means of Verification, you need to number every MoV according the format x.xa, x.xb, x.xc etc.
  • After completing this annex 2, the explanatory texts from this template (blue text font can be deleted from this document.
  • The Logframes should be presented using the mandatory format of this document. Do not convert this document to other file formats such as Excel or PDF.
