Risks and assumptions as presented on the logical framework document is vital because having an idea of possible risks which can hamper the progress of a project will help the project team to prepare for the best way to handle them should they arise/occur.

setting a realistic target is vital BECAUSE Targets are one method in appraising progress relative to expectations established during planning.

Creating Data Collection Tools is vital to the success of any project because if the means of collecting data is correct the quality of data collected will be correct and ultimately, correct decisions can be initiated from the analysis done with the quality data collected.

Data management: Data management includes the following: 1. data collection 2. Data Entry and Collation 3. Data Analysis, Verification, and Storage 4. Data Use. This process is vital to the life of any organization.

This are factors that a project might fave and one does not have control over it.
Assumptions are things that you believe but are not supported by evidence.
A project might be at risk of not being accepted in a community due to people's culture, a project that requires longitudinal follow-ups might face drop out of clients
We might assume that some clients might not take part in a project without some token of appreciation

The Risks and Assumptions column is the fourth column of the logical framework. The 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.

These are things that may affect the project negatively.

Risk assessment is very important any project as it helps to mitigates the chances of the project's failures and challenges to success

Risks and assumptions are things that might challenge the success of the project plan.
It is very important to consider them at every level of logframe: input, output, outcome and impact. By asking what could possibly go wrong.

Risks and assumptions are lists of things that challenges the success of the project.

This is well explained.

Assumptions are things that one thinks they might negatively affect the particular part of the logframe.

Risks and assumptions are those which can create problem to intendent goal of the project. These are beyond control of the project. Risk are those which are supported by data but apprehensions are those which are farmed without supporting data.

During the formulation of project, it is important for M&E plan to include the tentative risks and assumption and plan accordingly. The risks can be mitigate through propoer planning

I find this topic to be interesting. However, in the course of my study, I notice that certain risks might not be really evident before the implementation of projects/activities.

Can the logical framework be modified in the course of implementation?

Clear knowledge of risks and assumptions places the project staff in a better position to successfully implement the project because they can mitigate risks and anticipate issues that may hamper successful implementation of the project

It is important to plan for risks and assumptutions, so that we are able to understand the events that we unforseen and that could cause the project to go poorly or that may affect our implemention.

• Partner organizations will not be able to reachout to the adolescents.
• Lack of fair understanding around the SRHR and GBV topics.

Risks are things outside of your control that might disrupt your plan. Assumptions are personal biases i.e. the things that you behave without much evidence.
Before designing a project, it is advisable to find the risks and assumptions before project starts.

these are negative things which retard the flow of the project success.

Project: Teaching school children to read english: this requires an Ipad, a volunteer following the student at distance, and a mentor at the school.

• children might not learn as far as they need to perform later advanced studies.

• children might delay learning for many reasons:

• crowded classes,
• family disengagement,
• bad school environment.
• sick

• there are not enough volunteers to give lessons

• Inability of the teacher in charge of the program

• there are not enough funds to buy more tablets slowing the programme

I think the risks and assumptions component of the Logfram is key. What is interesting to me is the fact that risks and assumptions are either true or not. However, in the case where you are writing a proposal to solicit funds from donor organization when there is a call for application, the burden of prove is upon you to ensure that the risks and assumptions are factual and they are backed by facts.

Risks are unforseen activities that might disrupt

All were well understood

Staff may not want a shift system
There may be security issues attached it may also not guarantee improved productivity

I find this section really useful to avoid biased decisions. For instance, I was very optimistic about organizing an English course for the beneficiaries of the association I worked in. Out of empathy and good intentions, I insisted in organizing this without considering the real risks. My project was very biased by personal experiences and emotions

helps in better preparation and assesses if the goals are realistic and achievable.

What is important of risks and assumptions in M& D plan?

Data Collection opens up your mind to the yearnings of people true feedbacks.

Risk and Assumptions are encounters in the project that are beyond your control but have a negative impact on the project at hand.
It is important to identify and analyse possible risk and assumptions beforehand while others may come along the progress of the Project. Even then it is important also to note them for future reference for another project.
This also helps during evaluation of the success or failure of the project. most often than not, the failure of a project is caused by these unforeseen risks and assumptions

Risks and assumptions is a very key part of the logframe as it helps to identify challenges from the outside that would hurt your project. This also helps to know how to handle them as you have already prepared for them the moment they show up. This helps to run your project smoothly and according to plan.

Risk and assumptions is an important part of a project's M&E . It allows for alternative plans to be taken to adjust expected outcomes to the satisfaction of the team and the project at large

Getting to know the risks and assumptions early enough is quite critical in Monitoring and Evaluation.

Risks and assumptions need to be identify during the logframe.
Risk and assumptions may not be quantifiable but need to be exhaustive enough to limit any disruption during the project implementation.
Risk and assumptions are related to all the logframe steps: Defining the impact, defining activities (inputs and outputs), defining outcomes.

Risks are factors out of your control that could cause my project to go poorly and assumptions are something we believe in without proof
Identifying risks is important because I am able to work on problems to avoid losses in the future

Identifying risks before starting the project can be helpful because it will cushion you from disappointments or great losses

identifying the risk and assumption can help us to develop a stronger Log frame. And this will require a deeper study of the situation in order to truly understand it. in addition, it shows what should be paid attention to when the implementing the project. Assumptions and risks also show the donor, that we really know the situation in the community and our work is valid.

So far, so good. I believe I struggle with risk and assumptions because I frequently focus on the reasons why something will succeed rather than the reasons why a project or plan might fail.
Sure, with time, it will get better.

You are right. Knowing the risks and assumptions actually improves the planning and success rate of the project.

As risks comes unexpectedly and assumptions are there for you to be alert of unpredicted change in your project design. this may help the organization use the formative research to create solution to this assumptions that may result to new project that we can work on together with our last project to reach our impact .

Risk is inevitable but it can be manageable if thought through in advance. Detailing the assumptions and possible risk associated with the different sections in the framework is therefore essential as it helps enhance your ability to counter and minimise the damages. This also ensures that you don't take anything for granted and that you you have a well thought through project as it forces you to think about even the smallest detail of the logframe. Ultimately it increases the success chances of the project and the M&E plan.

the risks are lists of potential obstacles that could prevent the project from achieving its goals. These are often uncertain events or conditions that may arise during the course of the project and impact its success. The assumptions are the lists that are necessary for the project to achieve its objectives. These are often factors that are outside the control of the project team, but without which the project would not be able to achieve its intended results. Including Risks and Assumptions in the logframe helps project teams identify and plan for potential challenges and ensure that all necessary resources and support are in place for the project to be successful. This helps to increase the chances of project success and reduce the likelihood of unanticipated problems arising during implementation.

Accessing risk and assumption is very crucial to the success of any project. For example in my project the risks and assumptions include:

1. Some members of the public might not want their dogs and cats to get vaccinated.
2. Some people might not know the exact location where to get their pets located.
3. Some might not be aware of the dangers of bite by an unvaccinated dog or cat.

This a very interesting module. I learnt a lot.

Risk and assumption are things that might prevent you from reaching your set target for your project.

Risks and assumptions are very crucial in every project plan.

Risk and Assumption are the things that make our project to Fall down
they are the things which could make our project not to get correct impacts

Risk and Assumption are the things that make our project to Fall down
they are the things which could make our project not to get correct impacts

It is getting clearer to me that if the inputs and positive assumptions are true the output will lead to the outcomes.
but if the risks are negative then outcomes might not be attained. I am looking forward to learning more in the next module

Risk and Assumptions in Logical framework are All things that might affect or disrupt your plan of the project for each level of the log frame input, output, outcome & impact. Risks are anything that is outside your control and might affect or disrupt your plan. Assumptions: are our biases the thing we believe with out having evidence.

Risks are potential negative events or circumstances that may impact the achievement of goals. Assumptions are conditions or factors that are believed to be true, but may not be certain, in the planning process. Assessing both helps identify potential challenges and build more robust plans. However, it's important to regularly review and update both as the situation changes.

Risk is an assumption with a higher level of failure. It is an event that could happen with a notable probability and could affect the outcome of your project substantially. Or the possibility that something bad or unpleasant (such as an injury or a loss) will happen. You have to take risks into account when planning your project as they might change the entire setup if the event actually occurs. They might even end your entire project if they occur.

An assumption is a statement that you assume to be true or something that is believed to be true or probably true but that is not known to be true.Without assuming certain things planning would be impossible, as we never know for certain how the future will look like. We have to assume our government keeps working, our organization will keep existing and the weather will follow its usual pattern. Sometimes we look at these things as if they were facts, but in reality, they are just assumptions, as we cannot be 100% sure. Here are a couple of examples, all building materials will be available in the market before the project start.

Identifying risks and assumptions while developing your project proposal can help you write a stronger proposal. You will have to dig deep to truly understand the situation at hand. Furthermore, it shows you what you have to look out for during the implementation of your project and what could be possible . Identifying risks and assumptions also show your donor that you have real knowledge of the situation in the community and that your work is valid.

The risks and assumptions lists all the things that might disrupt your plan. For each level of logframe - inputs, outputs, outcomes, and impact - you ask: what could go wrong

The risks and assumptions lists all the things that might disrupt your plan. For each level of your logframe - inputs, outputs, outcomes, and impact, you have to ask the question: what could go wrong

Risk are the things that are out of my control that could make my work or project difficult, while Assumption are the things we believe without having proof or evidence.

Are risks and assumptions sometimes very obvious to see?
Though the importance of evidence is very important to nullify all assumptions, what about a scenario wherby the evidences are not fully conclusive?
Is there anything like a small or big risk?

That is very true.

Risks are the things outside our control, assumptions are the believes we have which do not evidences. both risks and assumptions can make our projects to fail. so it is good to assign all the risks and assumptions we can get to all our project's activities and our goals. ( inputs, outputs, outcomes and impacts).

we list all or risks and assumptions before in order to look ways of avoiding them before happening.
and we do all that during our project planning in the document call logical frame work.

This are things that we think might affect the success of the project,

in any organization its important to have risk monitoring matrix which consist of external and internal risk,indicator for monitoring risk,likelihood of occurance,impact of occurance,mitigation strategies and responsibilities

RISK ARE THE DIFFERENT FACTORS OR EVENT WHICH CAN MAKE THE PLANNED ACTIONS OT OBJECTIVES NOT TO BE ACHIEVED

This was an eye opener. Previously, I have been Framing risks and assumptions upside down

Data collection, methods, tools are key to helping any researcher or M&E personnel in gathering requisite data/information to help in tracking progress. My experience has shown that time investment is key in having this right at the beginning as they play critical role in project delivery and assessing achievement. Pre-test has proved an important step in testing if the tool is truly gathering the information needed to report about an indicator and also to know if the respondents understand what is being sought from them

Data ,management and data flow is critical as it specifies how data is collected, analysed, interpreted, reported and archived/stored for future. It forms part of the M&E plan

Risks and assumptions are integral parts of a project summary, it helps the team predict unforeseen circumstances and make arrangement on time to curtail them incase they occur.

Understanding risks and assessments was an important module for me due to having to utilize evaluations throughout every step of my job process. This was very insightful and allowed me to see possible risks even quicker when looking at a logframe.

What is important of risks and assumptions in M& D plan?

I find this topic to be very interesting simply for the fact that so many organizations create programs and host events without utilizing, what seems to be at the very least, a very necessary part of the planning process.

When identifying risks and assumptions for a project, it is important to consider the following elements:

External factors: This includes factors outside of the organization's control, such as changes in laws and regulations, economic conditions, and natural disasters.

Internal factors: This includes factors within the organization's control, such as staff availability, technology reliability, and capacity to manage the project.

Project specific factors: This includes factors related to the specific project, such as the complexity of activities, the level of stakeholder engagement, and the availability of resources.

Contextual factors: This includes factors related to the context in which the project is taking place, such as cultural norms, political stability, and community attitudes.

Timing: Consideration should be given to the timing of activities and their impact on the project timeline.

Relationships: Consideration should be given to relationships between stakeholders, including potential sources of conflict and ways to mitigate them.

Capacity: Consideration should be given to the capacity of the organization and its partners to implement the project, including the availability of resources, personnel, and technical expertise.

Data and information: Consideration should be given to the quality and reliability of data and information used in the project, and the potential impact of any data gaps or limitations.

Monitoring and evaluation: Consideration should be given to the processes and systems used to monitor and evaluate the project, including the availability of resources and the capacity of the organization to implement these processes effectively.

Les risques et les hypothèses prévus, suffisent -ils pour éviter tous les obstacles et mener au succès un projet ?

What are risks?

I have noticed that when doing risks and assumptions for MEH, we are mostly doing risks. Has anyone attempted the assumption route?

The risks and assumptions column of a logframe lists all the things that might disrupt your plan. For each level of your logframe - inputs, outputs, outcomes, and impact - you ask: what could go wrong? Is there anything that might prevent you from providing the inputs? And, if you provide the inputs, are you sure that this will lead to the outputs?

Remember the if/then statements that we made at the beginning of this module? Here is an example to remind you:

IF you have new knowledge, THEN you will 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:

What type of knowledge will help you perform better on job applications?

Is knowledge enough to help you perform better on job applications?

Let’s identify risks and assumptions for MEH’s outcomes, by combining the outcomes with the outputs in an if/then statement:

IF girls receive microloans, THEN girls will start new businesses or upgrade equipment in their existing businesses.

We have combined the outcomes with the level below: the outputs. Now we can ask: are we completely sure that this is true? Are there any things outside of MEH’s control that might keep girls from starting or upgrading businesses?

Here are a few risks and assumptions that might keep girls from starting or upgrading businesses, even if they get microloans:

Girls might not want to start or upgrade businesses

Girls might be discouraged from starting or upgrading businesses by their family or culture

Girls might not know how to start or upgrade businesses

So, these three risks and assumptions will go into MEH’s logframe, right alongside their outcomes.

1. it is important to plan for risks and assumptions ahead of time is so that
   you can understand events and conditions that are unforeseeable
   that might affect your implementation, therefore giving you enough time to make
   decisions at the right time.

Risk Assumption—A risk contingency plan can be developed for the project that defines the actions taken, the resource plans, and the factor that triggers an action should a given risk occur. This option accepts the potential risk and continues assuming the contingency plan lowers the risk to an acceptable level (low cost). Risk Avoidance: We can circumvent the risk by removing the cause or reducing the consequences (some cost).

•
Risk Limitation—To limit the risk by implementing specific changes planned activities in the project. (This approach should be pursued when the risk cannot be dealt with any other way or will be too costly to the project.) (some cost).

•
“Risk Transfer”—We can transfer the risk by using other techniques to offset the loss. One example would be to purchase insurance. The potential impact of a risk event can be transferred by insuring a product or department against the liability of damage.

Les risques fonds partie du cycle du projet. Nous devons envisager des scenarios qui peuvent être des risques.
Les hypothèses sont toujours envisageable dans le cadre d'un projet.

Risks are those things out of your control that cause your project not to work as expected
Assumptions are things that you believe but are not supported by evidence

Risks and are the outcomes that might occur in the process of implementing a project and bring negative impact
There are great tools that helps one to weight the output thus leading to positive outcomes

Taking risks in any project is very good to my side because it will help your project to be completed but if we fail to face risks it means we are afraid of making a difference.

Risks are the things outside of the control that might disrupt a plan. For each level of your log frame, [ inputs, outputs, outcomes, and impact] you ask: what could go wrong? Is there anything that might prevent you from providing the inputs? And, if you provide the inputs, are you sure that this will lead to the outputs?
Assumptions are biases: the things you believe without much evidence.
It is important to plan for risks and assumptions ahead of time so that you can understand events an conditions that are unforeseeable that might affect your implementation, therefore giving you enough time to make decisions at the right time.

I think the risk and assumption part is really important because the ideas will never end but what will help us achieve is what we see is possible and what makes it all possible s by overcoming the risks (if possible).

I understand now risks and assumptions of M&E logframe.

I understand now risks and assumptions of M&E logframe.

I think that identifying risks and assumptions in advance is always a very difficult part of the project. An interesting concept I heard about was the one of the "pre-mortem" where you assume that your project has failed and then you try and think of all the ways in which it could have failed and all the reasons for those failures. You can then turn these ideas into a set of risks and assumptions to look out for and build mechanisms into your project to avoid them.

Learning about risks and assumptions is crucial in designing our projects. One thing I've learned in our work is that we do not want to distort the social fabric of those we serve. By knowing the risks of our actions, we are able to deliver services that adheres to the "do no harm" principle. Our assumptions on the other hand, despite any possibilities of exhibiting our biases, must always be backed by science and established literature.

Having an eye on the risks and assumptions and how it they will affect the project is essential and should not be overlooked.

What's most interesting about the log frame is that it helps you understand the linkages between the steps. It provides a larger lens to see the big picture and connect all the possibilities or identify what may be missing.

Risks and Assumptions surely needs to be carefully analyzed in as far as project design is concerned

Thank you for giving this opportunity.
It is good title
Risk is what we encounter when we are doing our project implementation.
Assumptions are what we are must consider while doing our project.

what are the risks that can lead to failure of your logframe?

Risks and assumptions is very important to note since one needs to be realistic and know that not every research is plain sailing, there might be various obstacles that prevents one from achieving the outcome that one wants.
Jotting these done will assist with every aspect of the research.
