Results chains help set the objectives that specify the desired short and medium term changes<br />

(outcomes) in specific threats and opportunities. Again, these objectives should be SMART. Figure<br />

T5, which presents an example <strong>of</strong> a results chain, shows how the objectives are tied to the desired<br />

results <strong>for</strong> the factors in the results chain.<br />

The goals and objectives specified in the results chain represent what the project hopes to achieve,<br />

and reflect the assumptions held about how the project strategy will achieve the desired results.<br />

They are the indicators <strong>of</strong> success. Together the goals, objectives, strategies and assumptions <strong>for</strong>m<br />

the Action Plan.<br />
