This Annual Work Plan 2020 for PATSPO is based on the Project Document and the 4-year work plan in the project document, 2017-2020 (PATSPO 2017). The Annual Workplan (AWP) covers the full calendar year January to December 2020.

The Performance Management Framework (PMF) is being used as the planning system for PATSPO together with the Risk Assessment Framework (RAF). In the PMF and RAF, the cornerstones related to annual activity planning are Impact: Development objective (goal or long-term objective): The main overall objective that the project is meant to contribute to in the long run, and which explains the reason why the project is implemented. Impacts are positive and negative, primary and secondary long-term effects resulting from a chain of events to which development and research have contributed, directly or indirectly, intended or unintended. These effects can be economic,socio-cultural, institutional, environmental, and technological, or of other types.
