A project is instrument for delivering actual change
This change must bring concrete benefits
These benefits must be measurable/evaluable
The ultimate value of the benefits must significantly exceeding the project costs
Notes for trainers (suggested comments):
Project in an instrument for delivery positive change

4. A project intervention logic
impact
Primary and secondary, long term effects produced by the Action
Likely or achieved short-term and medium-term effects of an Action’s outputs
Products, capital goods and services which result from an Action’s activities
Project operations requiring utilization of assigned resources
Physical and non physical resources (financial, administrative, regulatory, facilities, equipment and etc.)

26. LFM as universal tool
Developing LFM please keep in mind that you will need it for
detailed activity planning
project management, including internal monitoring & control and
project reporting
LFM will be also used for
evaluation of your Application
external monitoring, control and assessment
