RLP project development will start with the establishment of a Project Logic as part of the MERI planning process (see Strategy section 8.5). Project Logics will link to the RLP Program Logic (Figure 16) by demonstrating the rationale of the selection of appropriate management actions (that constitute
project planning and delivery), that will be expected to contribute to the RLP 5-year outcomes as described in Table 10. They will describe the expected consequences of management actions, in the immediate to long-term, underpinned by associated assumptions.

Outcome description
Associated target (and indicators)
Aspirational program goal
Vision for the asset
Statement of the overall vision for the state of the asset in 50 years. This statement helps guide program planning and provides a context for setting other targets
No targets at this level
Longer term outcome
Improvements in the state of the asset
Expected outcomes relating to the condition of the biophysical, institutional and social assets as a result of intervention
Usually longer-term targets at a broad geographic level
Immediate outcome (5-year)
Aggregate changes in how the asset is managed and affected
Changes in management practices resulting in impact on asset condition across a region
Immediate targets (e.g. percentage of land protected or managed in a certain way over five years)
A reduction in pressures on and threats to the asset Adoption of best practice or sustainable management practices
Practice and attitude change
Management actions (Immediate activities)
Management actions (Foundational activities)
80
Enhanced knowledge, aspirations, skills, attitudes and/or confidence Institutional and organizational change, as reflected in corporate policy, business practices, laws and infrastructure
Immediate and intermediate targets (e.g. percentage of land/resource managers or communities that adopt sustainable management practices)
Biophysical outputs
Deliverables that are related immediate onground results as set out in investment plans and funding agreements
Output targets (e.g. number of hectares and land revegetated or enhanced)
Nonbiophysical outputs
Deliverables that are related to immediate social, institutional, cultural or economic results as set out in investment plans and funding agreements
Output targets (e.g. number of community plans number of participants in training workshops, or number of incentives projects funded)
Project activities
Activities that largely concern the development of NRM strategies and investment plans. These include:
Output targets (e.g. number of community workshops conducted or number of educational resources developed)
• Conducting baseline assessment and analysing program evaluation results • Building skills and developing knowledge base • Developing institutional frameworks, plans and strategies • Undertaking community consultation • Consulting and /or commissioning scientific research
