Activities

Activities are the tasks we do, the interventions or events we conduct, the service we provide or the products we distribute to beneficiaries. Activities are designed and implemented in order to achieve the project objectives. We cannot ask for any funding if we are doing any activities for a particular beneficiaries that the donor is hoping to support.

There will be no objective for any project without having activities contributing to its achievement. 

The number of the activities that could be implemented to achieve a project objective differs according to how much detailed we are or asked to be when we develop the project proposal.

Activities that are designed to achieve every objective must be clear so the donor will be able to know which activities are related to each of the objective of the project.

Criteria required in writing the activity:

1- The activity starts always by a present simple tense: Conduct - implement - Train - Rehabilitate - Establish – Provide – Develop - Recruit.

2- The activity is better to be SMART similar to the objective, so the activity should be specific, measurable, applicable, realistic, and time-bound.
