SPROUT…Background/Justification

What are the problems you are going to address? What are the causes and effect of the problems? What are your strategies to solve the problems?

Socio-economic situation/context Problems to be addressed by the project Past experiences, training/campaigns/activities “Problem analysis” – cause and effect of problems Monitoring, evaluation and reporting A primary budget estimate

SPROUT…Development and Immediate Objectives

Development ObjectivesDevelopment Objectives– Overall aims of the project– Broader behavioral/institutional changes to which

the project will contribute

Immediate ObjectivesImmediate Objectives– Specific achievements (situations and/or conditions)

or direct results that the project will attain by the end of the project

– Be as specific as possible and avoid using verbs expressing activities (e.g. “to study”, “to raise awareness”, or “to assist”).

SPROUT…Indicators of Achievement and Outputs

Indicators of AchievementIndicators of Achievement– A brief description of the desired or expected

situation at the end of the project, with clear emphasis on the changes that the project will help to bring about.

OutputsOutputs– Products that the project will produce– Be precise in defining the outputs

SPROUT…Main activities

List of main activitiesList of main activities– How the inputs of the project will be transformed

into outputs– List all the activities, in a logical (or chronological)

order, that are important to the production of the outputs

– Be strategic!

SPROUT…Inputs and monitoring/evaluation/report

List of InputsList of Inputs– List all the inputs needed for carrying out the

planned activities– Consider financial implications for each input (Is it

available for free, or do you have to create it?)

Monitoring/evaluation/reporting– Consider appropriate monitoring, evaluation and

reporting mechanisms/procedures, so that you can ensure the project will be proceeded as planned while producing expected results.

Example of a Project

1. Building up a project on Training Methodology

Individual Activity

1. Prepare a work plan using a “Model Workplan” form

Presentation of Work Plan

1. In the group work,each participant has to present his/her ideas taking into account his or her specificity;

2. Carefully take notes of your colleague’s presentation, focusing on some good points, weak points, and/or questions;

3. The plenary presentation ‘ll be followed by Q&A session where colleagues help the presenter improve the collective work plan
