Key figures

The different levels of a project we subdivide as follows:

INPUTS: This first level of a project includes all the resources available to a project. These can be

money, equipment, but also employees, among others.

ACTIVITIES: If certain inputs are available, then activities can be carried out. Examples of this level are workshops and trainings.

OUTPUTS (or results): At the output level, the direct results of the activities are now described. If an activity is conducted, then certain outcomes are expected.

OUTCOMES: An outcome is a change that occurred because of your program. It is measurable and time-limited, although it may take a while to determine its full effect.

IMPACT: Impacts are the long-term or indirect effects of your outcomes. Often, the effects go beyond the actual target group and have an impact on the target group’s environment – i.e., on the wider society.
