Backcasting & Scenario Planning
About the book: "Reading Research: A User-Friendly Guide for Nurses and Other Health Professionals"


Scenario-1 Starting the project idea:

I start this project while observing in my community that there is a lot's of youth that participate in HIV/AIDS risk behavior that make them more susceptible to HIV infection.

Scenario-2 Detailed initiation and formulation of my project ideas it practical form.
This start immediately after i intend to start the project on HIV/AIDS risk behavior and it is still under progress.

Scenario-3 Building my capacity on project management.
I start this immediately after I intend to start project on HIV/AIDS risk behavior by various method reading,volunteering and training (sprout)

Scenario-4 searching for fund and negotiating with local administration and finding stakeholder.

This already started and is under progress I decided which stake holder to approach and I am intending to negotiate about my project with local administration.

Scenario-5 Actual implementing of the project:this include
1-recruiting volunteer,staff
2-deciding the beneficiaries
3-Preparing detailed project implementation plan,action plan..etc
4-Actual implementation of the project.

Backcasting to the above scenario.

Let's see what I have done My start is good I start from nowhere and I progress like this
1- I saw those youth wasting their time and energy in bad behavior that eventually lead them to HIV or kill them
2- I intend to do on my part to help them and to save them ,to change their behavior.
3-I start from scratch the project.
4-I got training opportunity in sprout.
5-I build my capacity and I start to develop my project in detail so as I can easily implement it.
6-I search for fund
7-I start actual implementation after I get the fund .

All the above is difficult task but me and my staff are determined to see the project be fruitful and above all we help those youth grow healthy and become a responsible citizen that can change their community and their country at large.

Monitoring & Evaluation

- How do I ensure my project remains relevant and is constantly improving?

Evaluation is the most important tool for a project to achieve its expected goal and objectives ,and to inform both stakeholder and the the public that the project had gained its objectives and goal.
To do this the project remain committed to it's mission and vision.
The project must also constantly feed it's stakeholder and beneficiaries about ongoing project activities, the level of impact the project has achieved, its successes and failure and the challenges your project has faced.In doing these the project is able to gain support and my feedback,way to improve for future and more importantly my willingness to maintain transparency and accountability throughout the management of your project.

- Have you ever had to conduct an evaluation of a project before?
Before I started this project I conducted a survey on whether the project is achievable and implementable .
- How can a project evaluation help you? Your project team? And your stakeholders?
A project evaluation will help greatly because it can help keep track of project progress,show the impact of the project to the stakeholder,donor.It also help the project team to see whether the objectives are meet its success its failure where improvement and revision is needed and finally whether it has follow its scheduled implementation plan.
- How will you monitor and gather, analyze and report your findings to your stakeholders?

My project mainly intend to use the following document as a data source these is :daily,weekly and monthly report,filed visit,discussion with volunteer, and collecting of data on the number of training and discussion session.
In addition to these document I also intend to do a small survey on the impact of my project on the community.

Execution

One of the best ways to grow a healthy project is to be aware of the risks and challenges that you may face along the way.
In all project there will be a probability for a certain kind of risk to happen my own project is not an exception to these kind of problem.
Many kind of risk will happen to my project among the most important risk probably think to happen is the disparity that will happen between the actual scheduled project and the actual implementation in the ground.
There will also happen some times the donor may not be willing to let me get money in time and the material I need may not be available in the market during the time I need them.
There will also an availability of volunteer or the volunteer may left the project after they start to work for it.

If then What can I do if these kind of unexpected event accrue to my project?
First there I will put extra 2-3 days for un expected event and i try to keep the deadline by breaking the task so that I can get better control over them.
Second there will be a waiting volunteer in case there comes a volunteer leave so I can replace them from waiting list.
Third I must do some market survey to see if there will be a unavailability of some item in the market during the time I need them if so I must try to get them in time of their availability.
finally if there is thing beyond me what can I do?

Scope
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

The project exclude other people except youth.It is also confined to a small people to 1-2 hundred person.
The project try to get fund from donor if available if not I try to reach by my own way and I use friend,family,work colleague as a network to reach youth.

Why Hiv/AIds

Ethiopia is home to over 77 million people .Ethiopia is a sub- Saharan Africa's second most populous country.It's population is predominately young population comprising 44% of total population.

HIV/Aids has had a crippling effect on Ethiopia ,where 3.5 million people -representing the third highest infected population in the world -are living with the virus.It has also orphaned a million children,and hit the community by killing large number of the country's most productive age group those between 15-49.
The significant proportion of young population is at high risk of HIV infection because of young people 's participation into risky factor that put them at risk of HIV infection.
Most 7young people participate in many high risky behavior that put them at a great danger of hiv infection.Young people in Ethiopia particularely those living in large urban center use various substance such as alchole,druge,tobacco, and more improtantely the local stimulant substance such as "Khatt""hashis" etc that make them more vulnerable to HIV infection.
My project target young people residing in Addis Ababa particularly in my community where I live and my work place.
It try to solve the problem of lack of awareness in young people relating to HIV risky behavior by various awareness raising means such as peer group ,work place discussion,written and audio material about the problem and its possible solution,family and friend network etc. Try to point by doing a small sample survey the most important risky behavior young people engaged and recommend the possible solution to solve these problems.

Some facts about Ethiopia
About this event: The Great Ethiopia Run
Related to country: Ethiopia

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Ethiopia is situated in the horn of Africa and currently has a population of about 79 Million people. It is a country of great contrasts, often stunning, sometimes surprising, and full of ancient culture and a deep religious feeling.

Ethiopia was one of the very first countries to adopt Christianity as a state religion (305 A.D.). Its civilization dates back millennia. The dominant type of Christianity in Ethiopia is Eastern Orthodox with a large Muslim minority. Until 1974, the year of the communist revolution, Ethiopia was ruled by the longest serving Imperial dynasty in the world. In ancient times, Ethiopia with the source of the Blue Nile in the centre of its territory was an important trading partner and actually an extension of Pharaonic Upper Egypt.
In modern times, Ethiopia has had the misfortune of being torn apart twice by brutal foreign power, first by Fascist Italy and then by the Soviet Union. In both cases, acts of genocide were committed by the aggressors, and the economy was torn apart from within, to the benefit of the foreign invaders.
Today, 25 years after the period known as "red terror" when internal wars were fostered, soviet armaments were sold in outrageous quantities and ordinary farmers were recruited to fight and die, Ethiopia is the victim of a generation gap.
This ensued the tragic famines of the '80s and beyond. Furthermore from 1961 to 1991, neighboring Eritrea fought a long war of independence against Ethiopia, which ultimately led to a referendum and peaceful separation in 1993. Through this war, Ethiopia lost access to the strategic and commercially important port of Massawa on the Red Sea.

Another Ertitrean-Ethiopian war took place from 1998 to 2000, forming one of the most dramatic conflicts in the Horn of Africa in the last decades. The two countries - although very poor - spent hundreds of millions of dollars on the war and suffered the loss of tens of thousands of their citizens who were killed or wounded as a direct consequence of the conflict The only result was minor border changes.

Today, Ethiopia is a politically stable country under a Democratic Republic constitution. The current government is positive towards economic regeneration, and sees commerce as a key route to achieve it.

But the situation is still extremely serious:
• "It was said that an estimated three million Ethiopians have been exposed to the disease (HIV/AIDS), with over 600,000 children made orphans and one third of Ethiopia's hospital beds used by carriers of the virus." -Situation Report for Ethiopia April 1999. UN Country Team Ethiopia.
•Malaria is prevalent in 75 per cent of the country, putting over 50 million people at risk. During an average year an estimated 80,000 Ethiopian children die from malaria. During the last major epidemic in 2003 an estimated extra 40,000 people died from malaria. There were also up to 16 million cases of malaria - 6 million more than in an average year.
•The 2006 Horn of Africa food crisis is an acute shortage of food affecting four Horn of Africa countries: Somalia, Kenya, Djibouti and Ethiopia. The United Nations's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimated on January 6, 2006, that more than 11 million people in these countries may be affected by an impending widespread famine, largely attributed to a severe drought, and exacerbated by military conflicts in the region.
