this risk and assumptions are the one that are there to show as if the project fails what is the outcomes of that failure , so it gives as the results of what will happen list item if the project fails

This will also help as to find possible solutions of the risks that can occur during the project

Risk and Assumption factor should be consider carefully for the initial project designing and successful implementation of the project. Some time due to uncertain risk like the Covid-19 pandemic will causes lots of distraction to your project. So if we can anticipated the risk and assumption well from the beginning then we can able to mitigate the risk with various solutions and means.

The main difference between an assumption and a risk is that when we make an assumption, we expect that assumption will happen. If the assumption doesn’t happen then the project is negatively affected. With a risk we anticipate that the risk might happen and thus negatively impact our project. If the risk doesn’t materialize then the project will benefit. So in affect we can think of assumptions as almost being the opposite of risks (assumption happens = project ok versus risk happens = project not ok)

Risk and assumptions should be highlighted at the project design level.
This is because it will provide a wider view of the project implementation.
Risk and assumptions should not only come from implementors but also beneficiaries and other like minded stakeholders .

Covid-19 pandemic is one of the risk that took place and the guidlines exposed the assumptions we never took into consideration.
My team is implementing a project to reduce HIV infections among Adolescents Girls and Young women and because of the guidelines we cannot continue with the normal outreached but we are forced to conduct virtual outreach.

In this module I have learnt to be including space for Biological hazards in my future project risks& assumptions ,the Covid-19 guidlines has made us to shifts our outreaches to virtual space and if all beneficiaries can access a stable internet is another challenge and yes we had to request for an addendum to cater for the new budget.I hope to hear and learn from my dear colleagues.

Risks and assumptions are something which is uncontrolled by you. And some scholars define assumption as a bias because of it's all about your beliefs without no more evidence and can either be right or wrong.
Risks can prevent you to reach your goals about that project or making you delay. That can decrease your reputation.

By the way both of Risks and Assumptions are part of logical Frame and they are written last column from left to right, to give more details about the barriers of that project to eliminate or make other plan which can be wall it from you.

Actually that is true and all of us we have take care. By the way the entire world is a project and the barriers on it like being sick, poor an an uneducated parson are risks.

It's all about as you said, and further information is it's the fist essential part of your logFrame. Before starting your project's LogFrame you have to make problem tree to know your risks.

It’s important to note that moving from one growth stage to another does not happen easily, so do not be alarmed if you do not see results immediately.

They say,' Assumption is not the best experiment''.... Again, '' Being successful needs you to take risks''

Some risks my not be known to you at the beginning of the project, Is it possible to add more risk and assumptions during the project implementaion?

some of the risks and assumptions could be out of our league like we know what the risks and assumptions are in quite well and still we can't find the ways how to solve them in the proper ways. what should we do if we were in that situation, calling the experts for the problems that we facing or just pass them out.

Risks are elements or factors that can negatively affect our project. They can affect inputs, outputs, results as well as impacts. That is why it is important to make your identification and pre-analyze.
We put our beliefs and / or expectations into analysis.
At what point in the M&A plan are strategies designed to respond to risks and assumptions?
Because if the risks are identified it is important to show the donor and other stakeholders about how the project plans to circumvent or resolve them.

Risks and assumptions are the things that hinder the success of a project. They need to be seriously taken into consideration as they can potentially disrupt the project flow. Risks may be within or beyond the control of the project implementor. There's is no evidence on assumptions that one can make. Risks and assumptions should be looked into during the project monitoring phase as well as at the evaluation phase

I think the major things to consider in logflow is input, output, outcome and impact which comes with two statements that's if and then in order to bring an impact

I think the major things to consider in logflow is input, output, outcome and impact which comes with two statements that's if and then in order to bring an impact. Also knowing risk of your project is very important this will help u to determine which ways to deal with it.

I can't find any risk here, who is supposed to initiate a discussion?

Risk and assumptions are important parts of the log frame. Risks are the impediments that are faced by people during project execution and they usually cause a project to fail, for example, money set aside for the project may be diverted to something else different from original planned use, this results in the failure of the projects. Assumptions are usually the beliefs that people have when carrying out projects and those beliefs are not backed by evidence. Usually assumptions are crafted by thinking the what if analysis on given attribute of a project. It is therefore important to have an insight on the risk and assumptions before a project starts so as to have enough platform to adjust or change events pertaining the project.

anticipating risks allows us to protect ourselves and find solutions before problems arise.
By releasing hypotheses, this allows us to protect ourselves against the isks that could block our project

Is risk analysis a crucial step for a project to be successful? this is why it is important to be able to pose relevant hypotheses in order to guard against possible dangers.

I have one question it is possible to avoid all the risks?

I now understand how important it is to make consider all possible risks and make calculated assumptions

risks and assumption helps the project to make structured plan and take precautions in tailoring towards the impart

Risk can be most generally defined as a diversion of the course of events from the expected ones. The risk stands for the probability of a lack of success in terms of the actions taken. It should be associated mostly with the measure of deviation from the pre-planned values. It is usually defined as the probability of those deviations. Attempts at its parametrization refer to the estimation of the probability of achieving the objectives of the planned actions and the effects of the failure to accomplish them, expressed in physical or financial units.
While project assumption, A Project Assumption is believed to be true either through Experience or high-level Historical Data. A Project Assumption is stated without any empirical evidence. All Project Assumptions are potential risks. Assumption Analysis is one of the important techniques for Risk Identification. Project Assumptions should be well Documented and well Communicated. Poor Communication of Project Assumptions can, sometimes, lead to Project Failure. Project Assumptions can be documented in any formal Document but preferably they should be documented in a separate Project Assumptions Log. Bigger Project Assumptions must be Validated with other Stakeholders.

Interesting observation and fully agree with you Emma Eval. Many thanks for sharing.

I can relate to your Covid-19 risk experienced - In my case, I went to change targets so that our team on the ground can be able to reach realistic targets - in which we have to decrease our targets at least by 50% in order to attainable. Furthermore, during such time (lockdown) - we introduced lot of digital reporting and automation and digitalised program interventions.

Assumptions are the unproven connections between levels in a design hierarchy, theory of change, or the project context.

Within the logic framework approach to project design, however, risk is formulated as the negative assumptions behind, or the facts of, the project including the interaction between context conditions and the project

it is important to take care of risks and assumptions in any project's log frame so as to avoid possible collapse of the logframe

I now understand how important it is to make consider all possible risks and make calculated assumptions

Risk and assumption helps to be very prepared and taking into consideration factors that may be a hindrance to the project and how best to avoid them

To identify risks and assumptions, it is important to examine the past activities of the project and collaborate with the beneficiaries to highlight areas that may not perform as expected.

Risks and assumptions are really important. I think it makes times for Plan B.

Is this page missing content? Where is the question I am replying to?

Until I took this module I never thought of risks and assumptions in my project. However, this is a good thing to think about in order to put in preventative measures during project implementation. Considering the risk and assumptions of your project(s) puts you a step ahead of your work

Risks and Assumptions of a project are a very critical elements of our Project design document . Risks are factors outside of our control that might negetively affect to result a poor performance , while, Assumptions are things we belive in our thoughts but that are not truely tangible in reality which makes our thoughts biases. Looking for risks and assumptions is a powerful way to escape your biases. Identifying the possible Risks and Assumptions of the Project during the Project design process is a crucial step to get the proper input for M & E plan preparation.

Hi
From my understanding of Risks and Assumptions, risks are the things that might distrup the Activities that will lead achieving the desired impact. While assumptions are biases without enough evidence.

Risks are things that you are not sure that will happen

Risks and Assumptions are the facts that can go wrong in any phase of Logical Framework .

When considering risk and assumptions, there might be enough time and expert idea are required to get well done. There is also unnecessary risk and assumptions can be taken.

Risks are events that may have a negative impact on the project while assumptions describe the situations, events, conditions or decisions which are necessary for the success of the project, but which are largely or completely beyond the control of the project's management

Yes Wiza it is possible to group the risk in every stage.Because most of the risk will possibly occur at different point in time.That is the reason you have to group them so that when it occurs,you will be able to curb the challenges.

Will the project have enough money to give to the girls at the province
Will the girls start the project
Will the family members of the girls allow them to start the business

These are situations that might affect the attainment of a goal or objective

Risks are activities that can affect the progress of the project.

Assumptions are events that are believed to happen, but have no evidence to prove.

When considering risk and assumptions, there might be enough time and expert idea are required to get well done. There is also unnecessary risk and assumptions can be taken.

Writing your project summary as series of if/then statements will help you spot risks and assumptions. For example, after we read this if/then statement we can ask:
• What type of knowledge will help you perform better on job applications?
• Is knowledge enough to help you perform better on job applications?

Writing your project summary as series of if/then statements will help you spot risks and assumptions. For example, after we read this if/then statement we can ask:
•

Risk and Assumptions taught me to always take note of negative assumptions/ risks that can occur before or during project implementation. Because of this experience, I take take this time as an opportunity to share to my fellow leaners that they have to take note of risks during preparation of an M & E Plan that can occur not just during project implementation but also before project implementation. This can help deal with the risk without stressing.

These are situations that might affect the attainment of a goal or objective

What should be done in the case where the risks and assumptions are more in a project?

Unrealistic target are unachievable goals...
A goal is unrealistic when the goal is something that requires more energy, skills, talents, and time than you have available in order to achieve it. ... unrealistic goal may be one that is not in alignment with your own greatest gifts and talents

A goal is unrealistic when the goal is something that requires more energy, skills, talents, and time than you have available in order to achieve it. ... unrealistic goal may be one that is not in alignment with your own greatest gifts and talents

Risks and assumptions are avoidable or unavoidable occurrences that might make an activity, impact or outcome to be fully achieved.
The risks and assumptions analysis helps the programmer to know how and when to achieve the project goal within the required time

Risks and Assumptions column is on the fourth column of the logframe. Assumptions can be described as the situations, events, conditions or decisions which are necessary for the success of the project, but which are largely or completely beyond the control of the project's management, while Risks are events that may have a negative impact on the project.

Living in a time of Covid-19 meant there were a lot of unexpected risks and assumptions that have to be reviewed on how we operate further taking the worst case scenarios into account. will access to schools be possible? In not now, when? Additional costs of PPE and having to move to digital platforms. These adversely affected outputs as there was no or little access to children ( the main beneficiaries of the preventative programme).

M&E expert when you identified risks and assumptions in your logframe. Looking for risks and assumptions is a powerful way to escape your biases. For a really complete M&E plan, you would spend some time trying to respond to risks and assumptions before and during the project design phase. This type of research is called formative research, and, unfortunately, we will not have the time in this course to learn how to do this kind of research.

However, during the project, you will have plenty of time to examine your risks and assumptions. You will also have plenty of time to test the strength of your logical flow. To do this, we will need to start collecting data.

Some monitoring questions that you are now prepared to ask include:

Are enough inputs being provided?

How well do your inputs lead to your outputs?

How well do your outputs lead to outcomes?

In the process of planning for a project, some people tend to be very much optimistic about progress. No one wants to start thinking about bad things that may likely happen during the course of achieving the project goal and objectives but there are many things that may likely go wrong during the course of the project. The logframe is there to help you identify the risks and assumptions that you may encounter in every stage of the way.
The assumption is there to describe the situations, conditions, events or decisions which are very necessary for the success of the project but are largely or completely beyond the control of the project management.
As an M&E expert you are supposed to list all the risk and assumptions that may likely disrupt your plan when developing your logframe and this has to be in every aspect of the projects inputs, outputs, outcome and Impact

I have 2 questions

1. Does Risk and assumptions mandatory for any project Proposal?
2. If I know the how to mitigate any said risk. does it need to be still mentioned in the Project?

This is so important topic, the example used to explain risk and assumptions made the point clear to me,

this topic is very interesting. when I read this module I came to know that risks and assumptions are very important also for planning B or C. We can not only plan what we want in a project but we also have to assess things that are not desirable so that we are better prepared when this happens

Targets are a result or coverage that a M & E officers are trying to achieve. unrealistic target is I think a target which is challenging and long term target.

In this context, a risk is defined as an uncertain threat that, in case of occurring, could have a negative impact in the completion of the Goal or Activity. An assumption, on the other side, is the necessary condition that will enable the successful completion of the Goal or Activity.

This topic is really good because I can learn about the logframe very detail and the explanation makes me easy to understand it.

Identifying risks and assumptions before and during project implementation phases is cardinal because it will prepare us in advance to tackle unforseen events. This will likely make our project a success and all the goals will be accomplished. There can never be any project without risks and assumptions of failing therefore as M&E expert you need to iron out these risks in advance..

It's important to always perform checks before and during the project design phase to uncover potential risks and assumptions as they could halt the progress of the project.
Provide sufficient evidence to support every point mentioned across the logframe, this would ensure that assumptions and biases are removed. Risks are things outside our control that might interrupt with the progress of the project. Use efficient means of testing for the risks so as to completely eliminate them

The most useful technique for figuring out assumptions and risks is to use the if/then statement

How can we identify and eliminate risks?

How can we identify and eliminate risks? Let's discuss on this fellow students

can this M&E be used in small companies to know the risk and assumption?

If I were to have a basic literacy for young children to adolescent project, what other risks and assumptions apart from not having enough resources, them not wanting to get out of their comfort zone, discourage and are not interested in learning?

HOPEFULLY FOR EVRY PROJECT WE SHOULD REALLY HAVE RISKS AND ASSUMPTIONS

An assumption is a statement that you assume is true and a risk an assumption with a higher level of failure. A risk is an event that could happen with a notable probability and could affect the outcome of the project sustainability.

It's really interesting to learn about the importance of taking risks and assumptions into considerations when producing an effective M+E plan. It makes the path clearer for success, once you've identified areas or issues that may arise, which might otherwise hinder the progress and success of your project.

How to collect data to examine our risk or assumptions of the project's impact?

Yes, I agree.

This module has been very educative. it has made me learn that the impact should always be the main and long term effect of my project. I have also learned that one activity should directly lead to the next.

i think it's really important to know the risks and assumptions of our plan so we can prepare for the worst case scenario, so if it happens, we know how to recover or solve it.

the risk is very important to determine when we build a logframe since it gives us a general vision of the behavior of our project in such and such a situation.

indeed this puts pressure on the realization of the project

Identifying risks and assumptions will really help to prepare for any anticipated problem/issue, whenever the anticipated problem happens during the implementation of the project since we are already familiar with the issue, for us it will be easier to deal with it unlike anyone who did not identity risks and assumptions in the first place.

risk are the threats the project might encounter while implementing while assumption are the things we imagine can occurs and interfer with the project

Now that your brother has identified some risks and assumptions, you can take steps to avoid these problems: you can ask your mom how she feels about her childhood friends or set up travel arrangements for her friends in advance. During the party, you can monitor the situation to see how your mom is feeling. And if things do not go well, at least you will have a good idea about WHY they did not go well.

Risk and Assumptions taught me to always take note of negative assumptions/ risks that can occur before or during project implementation. Because of this experience, I take take this time as an opportunity to share to my fellow leaners that they have to take note of risks during preparation of an M & E Plan that can occur not just during project implementation but also before project implementation.

In my project of fisheries I noticed that identifying risks and assumptions is crucial. This helped me to meet the outcomes with less challenges

Risks once identified should be worked on, they shouldn't discourage us in carrying on with the projects.

You are very right dear
