Project Objectives

The physical, financial, institutional, social, environmental or other development outcomes that a project or program will provide.

Project objectives define the specific goals or outcomes that a project aims to achieve. They provide direction and a clear purpose, helping to measure progress and success. Typically, they should be:

1. Specific: Clearly state what is to be achieved.
2. Measurable: Include criteria to track progress and know when the objective has been accomplished.
3. Achievable: Ensure that the goal is realistic given the resources available.
4. Relevant: Align with the overall purpose and needs of the project.
5. Time-bound: Define a timeframe for achieving the objective.
