7.4 RESULTS CONTEXT AND CONDITIONS

The partner will provide a brief description of preconditions (bullet points can be used). Preconditions are conditions outside the partner’s direct control that have to be met for the implementation of the planned activities. Preconditions need to be met before the activities can be initiated and resources committed. The partner will only provide the information as a list as this information will be copied/pasted automatically in the Logframe.

The partner will provide a brief description of assumptions and risks. Assumptions are the expected positive external factors based upon which the Action has been planned, over which the partner has no direct control (e.g. peaceful working environment).The non-occurrence of assumptions may impact the implementation of action.

Risks can also be seen as the probability that an event may adversely affect the achievement of the Action’s objectives, results or activities. Particular attention should be given to risks related to security of staff, access constraints, fraud, aid diversion, sexual exploitation,  abuse and harassment, harm to beneficiaries, and reputational damage. Identifying the risks facilitates the request for modification and/or amendment.

At this stage the partner needs to provide the information only as a list, as it will be automatically imported in the Logframe. A risk management matrix can also be added as a separate annex.

Assumptions and risks have to be monitored during the implementation of the Action. If the Action may be negatively influenced by a risk that will almost certainly materialise, mitigating measures to be taken must be explained in section 7.6. In certain cases, the Action should be redesigned or interrupted.

The partner will explain the concrete measures it takes to mitigate the risks (described in section 7.5) on the implementation of the Action. 

If such measures have a financial (or operational) implication, the measures should also be reflected in the Logic of intervention. The partner will describe what other alternatives would be proposed for the achievement of the envisaged results. A risk management matrix can also be added as a separate annex.
