OMB Control Number: 0980-0204 |
The application must propose specific project objective work plans with activities related to each specific objective. The Objective Work Plan(s) in the application includes project objectives and activities for each budget period proposed and demonstrates that each of the objectives and activities:
- is measurable and/or quantifiable in terms of results or outcomes;
- supports the community's strategy to address ANA program goals;
- clearly relates to other community long range goals;
- can be accomplished with the available or expected resources during the proposed project period;
- indicates when the objective and major activities under each objective will be accomplished using elapsed time from the start of the project and not absolute dates;
- specifies who will conduct the activities under each objective; and
- supports a project that will be completed, self-sustaining or financed by other than ANA funds at the end of the project period.
Objective Work Plan. An Objective Work Plan must be completed for each project objective. Some objectives may continue for multiple years. A work plan must be completed for each year, identifying the objectives for that year and the activities under each objective.
Each section of the Objective Work Plan to follow should be completed according to the following instructions:
- Project. Identify your project.
- Year. Identify the project year.
- ANA Goal. Identify the ANA goal you are addressing. (Goal 1. Governance; Goal 2. Economic Development; Goal 3. Social Development).
- Objectives are specific accomplishments that your community has determined to be completed within the period of your proposed project. Completion of the proposed objectives must result in specific, measurable results. The application shows how the expected results will help the community meet its long range goals. The specific information provided for each objective is the standard upon which its achievement can be evaluated at the end of each budget year.
This information can be quantitative or descriptive, correlating with the objectives for which it is identifying in the Results or Benefits Expected section. Of course, where possible, quantitative information provides the best concrete description of how and when objectives are met. The statement of objective should contain the following basic elements:
- Exactly what will be accomplished during the project period,
- How well it will be done, expressed in quantity and/or degree of quality, and
- When it will be accomplished during the project period. Note that the elapsed times from the start of the project should be used rather than absolute dates, as the actual starting date of the project cannot always be determined in advance.
