The Final Report provides an overview of the programme delivery and highlights the results that have been achieved during this period. A detailed financial report is also included. 3. Introduction

In line with the principles and terminology laid out in NORAD’s guide on Results Based Management, 1 the effects of GRID-Arendal’s work under the PCA fall into one of three categories along the results chain: outputs are the direct products and services generated by programme activities; outcomes are the effects that these products and services have on the target group; and impacts are the long-term changes, or improvements that occur in society or in the state of the environment.
