Title
Guiding Questions for your P/CVE Project Design

Once you have completed your VE assessment, consider these basic questions to start your P/CVE project design:

  • What is your project’s Theory of Change: i.e., why/how do you think certain actions will produce desired change in your environment? Find more information on the next page on how to construct a Theory of Change.
  • What is your organization’s capacity to carry out this change?
  • How will your project integrate gender and social inclusion considerations? We cannot assume that what works for men (boys) also works for women (girls). Project goals and methods for achieving those goals should be based on an accurate assessment of what men and women can do.
  • How will you ensure that your project will Do No Harm?
