- Outcome 3: “Social Inclusion, Youth Employment & Poverty”

In addition to these three outcomes, the programme shall contribute to strengthening bilateral relations between Greece and the Donor States.

Targets and Outcomes
In pursuit of its strategic objectives, the “Local Development and Poverty Reduction” programme in Greece has contracted with the donor countries (EEA Grants) a set of targets to be achieved, that stem from a results-based management approach serving as guidance for the launch of call and the selection of projects during the entire duration of the “Local Development and Poverty Reduction” (2019-2024) as well as a monitoring tool for the implementation of the pre-defined projects. The Outcomes were broken down into “expected programme results” and, for each of these, output and outcome indicators were established.
To achieve the contracted targets, the contribution of all approved projects is critical, through their outputs (goods and services produced by a project for a specific target group or project beneficiaries) and their outcomes (short- and medium-term effects of a project on a specific target group or project beneficiaries). The Results Framework set out below shows the functional relationships between expected programme results, output and outcome indicators adopted by the “Local Development and Poverty Reduction” programme in Greece.
