SECTION-1: PROJECT BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION

Regional Gap /
Problem / Need
Analysis

Why should it be a
regional project?

(from concept document - to be further developed and documented through the

LFA)
Describe the in-depth analysis of the major problems/needs, their causes and
effects; and how these are linked to the Regional Development Plans/
Framework or equivalent. Provide a reference to past efforts made in addressing
the problem, if any, and how the current project is built upon them.
Attach any supporting documents (e.g. Regional Development Plans).
Indicate why it is better to address this problem/need through a regional project
(as compared to a national one).

Stakeholder
Analysis and
Partnerships

(from concept document - to be further developed and documented through the

LFA)
Describe the stakeholder analysis conducted, all interested or affected parties,
end users, beneficiaries, sponsors and partners identified, with clearly defined
roles for each entity.

Overall Objective
(or Developmental
Objective)

(from concept document - to be further developed and documented through the

LFA)
State the objective to which the project will contribute, and demonstrate its
linkage with any regional broader development goal or priority. It has to be in line
with the gap / problem / need identified.

Objectives
analysis

(from concept document - to be further developed and documented through the

LFA)
Attach the objective tree to highlight the objectives hierarchy and cause-effect
logic that this project is expected to achieve.

Role of nuclear
technology and
IAEA

(from concept document- can be adjusted)

Indicate the nuclear technique that would be used and outline why this is
appropriate to address the issue. Is the technique the only one available? Does
it have a comparative advantage over non-nuclear techniques?
What specific role is the IAEA expected to play in the project?

SECTION-2: PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Project Specific
Objective
(Outcome in the
LFM)
Performance
Indicator(s)

The changes expected after project completion. The benefit or improvement

achieved using the project outputs.
Specify the specific outcome for each participating country, if different.

Project Logical
Framework Matrix

Attach the full Logical Framework Matrix (Appendix A).

Physical
Infrastructure and
Human Resources

What physical infrastructure and human resources are available to support the
project? Include examples, e.g. existing laboratories, suitable buildings, staff that
will be directly involved in this project and logistics (i.e. transport for
implementation of field studies/trials). List any national resource centres that
would play a major role in the implementation of the project.
Indicate whether or not the safety infrastructure and associated standards and
procedures at the institutional level are adequate to ensure that the project will
be implemented in a safe manner. If not, specify the gaps and indicate how they
will be addressed.

Safety and
Regulatory
Infrastructure

Requirements for
Participation

Participating
Member States

Describe how the changes expected after project implementation can be

measured. (Indicators at Outcome level in the LFM).
How will these changes be measured in each participating country?
Should include a baseline, a target and a timeframe.

(from concept document can be adjusted)

Indicate the minimum requirements that Member States counterpart institutions
would need to meet in order to participate in this project, and how these
requirements are going to be verified.
(from concept document can be adjusted)
List the Member States expected to participate in the project that meet the
requirements established above. Indicate the role of each MS in the project.
Country: ____________________ Role:
Resource (providing expertise)
Target (receiving expertise)

Other
considerations,
e.g. environment,
gender

Indicate if the project has a potential positive or negative effect on the

environment (quality of air, water, land and ecosystem). In the case of negative
effect(s), indicate the mitigation measures.
Indicate if the project will benefit both men and women, and if any special
consideration was given to gender aspects.

Project duration

(from concept document- can be adjusted)

Indicate a realistic starting date and the number of years required to complete
the project. (In the case of projects expected to exceed four years, an
assessment will be conducted before the end of the fourth year to decide on the
validity of an additional year.)
(from concept document to be adjusted during project design)
Provide an estimate of the total project costs and the funding expected from
each stakeholder:

SECTION-3: IMPLEMENTATION ASPECTS

Implementation
Strategy

What steps will be taken to achieve the expected results in order to ensure the
projects success and sustainability?
Describe the project milestones, the role of implementing institutions and other
stakeholders.
State how project ownership will be ensured through effective leadership and the
commitment of resources during project implementation, as well as after project
completion to ensure its sustainability.

Monitoring and
Reporting

Describe the monitoring plan or framework, including mechanism and tools,

responsibility for data gathering and Periodic Report preparation.

Risk Management

Describe the risks that could affect the success and sustainability of the project
in the short and medium terms. Indicate appropriate mitigation measures (e.g.
change in national policies / priorities, institutional restructuring, reallocation of
resources, etc.).
