The Outcome Plan allows you to identify how and why the Options (activities) set out in the online Proposal will deliver the selected regional priorities. You will be asked to address any issues identified in the Statement of Intent feedback. You should include any specialist input identified by the Case Officer and provide any evidence against the assessment criteria not already covered in the Regional Priority Supporting Statement text box in the online proposal screens. The information provided in, or appended to, the Outcome Plan will be used by the Case Officer along with the information captured online to judge how well the Proposal meets the outcomes of the Rural Development Contract - Rural Priorities Scheme.
You can complete a Proposal Outcome Plan by downloading a Word (360kb) version of the form relevant to your proposals (either a Business or Environment Outcome Plan template - see Business or Environment Outcome Plan). The templates are also available in pdf format (156kb). You will need to download the pdf version if you do not have Microsoft Word.
Where possible the downloaded template should be completed electronically and attached to an e-mail to your Case Officer along with any electronic copies of appendices.
Alternatively the template can be printed and submitted as a paper copy to your regional co-ordinators office along with any paper copies of appendices.
Depending on feedback you received from your Case Officer you should prepare a:
· basic Outcome Plan
· basic Outcome Plan incorporating specialist advice
