Focal points

• The project cycle shall keep in account the
  various needs according to points of view which
  must be considered
• Respect the orthodoxy of the project
• Respect the ECHO procedures
• Respect internal HO procedures

Focal points in practice
The project implicates
Qualitative approach
From the proposal to the end focus on method
Evaluation and Monitoring
Demonstrate know how and knowledge of procedures
Preventive approach
Plan the work from the initial phase
12
The basic idea is

Qualitative approachbasic elements
The Five points

• Relevance
• Effectiveness
• Efficiency
• Impact
• Sustainability

15
Qualitative approachbasic elements
Stakeholder Analysis

• Potential of beneficiaries (number, category,
  types), institutions, local groups, etc
• Limits (obstacles)
• Interests
• Possible role of stakeholders in the project

16
Stakeholders Analysis tool
17
Qualitative approachbasic elements
Problem and needs analysis

• Identify general problems
• Identify particular problems and needs
• Identify needs of beneficiaries (by categories)
• Correlation and articulation of main elements
  (logic of analysis)

18
Problem Tree
19
Qualitative approachbasic elements
Analysis of objectives

• Define (strategic) general objectives (connecting
  strategy EU and HO)
• Identify quantitative and qualitative
  beneficiaries
• Identify objective of the opertion (services
  given to target group)
• Define observtion criteria (type of need) and
  selection (inclusion-exclusion)

20
Objective Tree
21
Qualitative approachbasic elements
Analysis of results and activities

• Define general framework of services (expected
  results in line with budget)
• Identify activities (description, management,
  human resources, times, detailed description of
  costs)
• General framework of main points relative to
  implementation (purchase/tender, safety,
  visibility, monitoring plan)

22
Qualitative approachbasic elements
Analysis of risks and assumptions

• Identify (evaluate) risks inherent to the action
• Identify (evaluate) assumptions
• Identify mitigation meausures

23
Log Frame
Refer to the EC/ECHO strategic framework
Cannot be modified, refer to ECHO decision
Consider costs and organization of a monitoring
plan
Refer to the budget lines

Qualitative approachbasic elements
Quality factors

• Ownership by beneficiaries
• Policy support (positive/negative)
• Appropriate technology
• Socio-cultural issues
• Equality of all (especially the most vulnerable
  group)
• Institutional and management capacity
• Co-ordination between the different actors

26
Qualitative approachbasic elements
Cross cutting issues

• LRRD (towards self sufficiency)
• Gender (roles, impact of project, womens role as
  development factor)
• Human Rights (impact on HR)
• Safety
• Visibility

27
Qualitative approachbasic elements
Indicators and sources of verification

• Clear definition
• (quantity, relevance, thresholds, minimum
  standards)
• Feasability of control
• Relevance of project variable observed
