Step 4.5.2

Methodology

A complete methodology section should cover four main points: how, who, when and why. It should help the funder clearly visualize the complete implementation of the project.

• How: It is crucial to provide a detailed description of what activities will occur from the time the project begins until it is complete. Methods should be clearly linked to all outcome objectives and interrelationships among project activities should be explained.
  
  
• Why: A description of why particular methods were chosen should be included. Evidence and past experience can bolster support for your choices.
  
  
• Who: It is important to note who will carry out each project task, so that a match between task and expertise can be guaranteed.
  
  
• When: Tasks should be presented chronologically, with clear deadlines attached to critical project junctures.
