Key:  Additions   Deletions
This activitiy builds on "Results chain exercises" and "Peacebuilding Indicators".

Purpose:To introduce what is needed for developing a baseline plan by working on a concrete example
Participants:At least 4, up to about 20.

Time: at least 60 min.

Materials:Tables with baseline plan template
Note books
Pens
Flipcharts
Marker pens
Process:1. Ask participants to get together in the group that has worked together in preceding steps (results chains and indicators for peacebuilding projects). Let them take ten minutes to recap what they have achieved so far.

2. Now, introduce to participants how a baseline study is prepared, i.e. what are the elements of a baseline plan. (click here). Keep it as brief as possible. Take some time for questions and comments from participants.

3. Distribute a table to participants that can be used to plan their baseline study:Alternatively:1.study Let(see participantsbelow). choseMake onesure ofthat the peacebuildingtable projectleaves examplesenough thatspace. wereAsk usedthe groups to first earlierfill in the workshoptable (seeall "resultsthe information that they already have (results, indicators).

5. In earlierplenary, steps.facilitate discussion around the following questions:

  • To what extent were you able to fill the table? Where did you face difficulties?
  • Where would you need more input? (e.g. knowledge on data collection methods, external advise)
  • What would your next steps be?
  • What have you learned about your previous steps when you tried to develop the baseline plan?
