Why is the project needed?

THE NEED

A project should start with a clear understanding of the need that it intends to address.

A good need statement should be : 

  • clear and specific
  • supported by evidence where possible 
  • relevant to a target groups well defined
  • if possible, the consequences of the impact of inaction

"Many university students have limited opportunities to develop international and intercultural skills because existing opportunities for international collaboration are not equally accessible across programmes"
Clear and well-defined need statement
"We want to organise international workshops for university students"
Describes what the project aims to do rather than the need it intends to address
