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 be defined as foreseeable potential situations that might affect the implementation of the Action without, however, excluding its further implementation but requiring specific measures aimed at reducing such risks. 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 fraud, corruption and unintended negative effect of the action.

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.

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.

In case some of the assumptions or risks materialise, the partner will explain the measures taken in order to mitigate their effects on the implementation of the Action. It will describe what other alternatives would be proposed for the achievement of the envisaged results.
