LOGICAL FRAMEWORK
  Intervention Objectively verifiable Sources and means of Assumptions
  logic indicators of achievement verification  
Overall What is the overall broader What are the key indicators related What are the sources of  
objectives objective, to which the project to the overall objective? information for these indicators?  
  will contribute ?      
         
  To promote multilateral networking between 1. Joint research outputs by project 1. Bibliographic databases 1. Funding continues beyond this phase
  higher education institutions in the EU and participants and those they teach 2. Funding agency reports of the collaboration
  Sri Lanka in teaching and research relevant to 2. Co-adoption of new programmes 3. University prospectuses 2. Institutional support is maintained
  understanding restoration of degraded ecosystems and methods    
Project What are the specific objectives, which the What are the quantitative or What are the sources of What are the factors and conditions not
purpose project shall achieve? qualitative indicators showing information that exist or can be under the direct control of the project
  whether and to what extent the collected? What are the methods which are necessary to achieve these
  project’s specific objectives are required to get this information? objectives? What risks have to be
  achieved?   considered?
       
  1. To develop split PhD programmes for co-delivery 1. Three PhD students entering 1. Admissions information 1. Continued availability of all partners
  by a partnership of EU and Sri Lankan HEIs the new split programmes published by partner HEIs 2. Institutional support maintained
  2. To provide opportunities for exchange and 2. Nine MSc student 2. Course co-ordinators reports Risks:
  co-supervision of taught course MSc students exchanges for project fieldwork on MSc programmes 1. Exchange rate fluctuations impose
  3. To upgrade the skills of project partners in key 3. Adoption of new techniques by 3. Research papers and financial constraints

Expected What are the concrete outputs envisaged to What are the indicators to measure What are the sources of What external factors and conditions
results achieve the specific objectives? whether and to what extent the information for these indicators? must be realised to obtain the expected
  What are the envisaged effects and benefits project achieves the envisaged   outputs and results on schedule?
  of the project? results and effects?    
  What improvements and changes will be      
  produced by the project?      
         
  Effects and benefits:      
  1. Enhanced collaboration among partners 1. One future joint grant application 1. Individuals' websites (grant 1. PhD students well motivated and
    by partners during lifetime of project successes) and reports from of appropriate standard
      funding agencies 2. The administrative commitments
  2. Upgraded technical ability in specific areas 2. Adoption of new techniques 2. Research papers describing of the academic staff do not increase
    across the partnership use of new techniques 3. Equipment and facilities provided by
  3. Enhanced opportunities for postgraduate 3. Uptake of three PhD and nine MSc 3. Annual reports of HEIs the HEIs is available and fully functional

Activities What are the key activities to be carried out Means: What are the sources of What pre- conditions are required before

    personnel, equipment, training,   direct control have to be present for the
    studies, supplies, operational   implementation of the planned
  Sequence of key activities: facilities, etc.   activities?
