starting point for a successful project!

Has previous work and knowledge been taken into
account?

Thematic fit

Each project should contribute to one of the Programme’s
specific objectives (SOs) – ‘thematic fit’

reference to the objective and define the specific issue it
intends to address and territory where it will operate

Project objectives and results
PROJECT OBJECTIVES - WHAT do we intend TO CHANGE and
how will it be DIFFERENT?
PROJECT RESULTS – reflection on the

Project
objectives

The project result is what justifies the need to carry out the
project

result)?
