2.1 Key Impact Pathways: How to design this section of your proposal? (December 2023)

In this webinar Gabriella is sharing the most useful tips about the Impact section (Section 2). This time, Section 2.1 Project’s pathways towards impact will be in the focus, which is the most difficult sub-section for applicants. 

The proposal template gives us the following instructions: “Provide a narrative explaining how the project’s results are expected to make a difference in terms of impact, beyond the immediate scope and duration of the project.” The million-dollar question is what does this narrative look like? And what exactly is scale and significance? And how about the barriers?   

Gabriella will share tips and methods on how to formulate this narrative, how to design scale and significance, and how to differentiate between requirements and barriers.

Topics covered

• How to formulate narrative of Section 2.1 – tips and examples;   

• Impact indicators;  

• Scale and significance - value and scale-up potential; 

• Requirements and barriers.
