Group Activity: Group Activity: Rights-based resultsRights-based results

• Reflect on the problem tree, role and capacity gaps analysis

• Formulate:– 1 UNDAF outcome– 2 contributing agency outcomes– 2 outputs for one of the two outcomes– 2 indicators for one outcome

• Review and make sure that the result chain is right-based
