Current through Register Vol. 39, No. 2, July 15, 2024
For the purpose of this Subchapter, the following
					 definitions apply:
(1) Activity. Within
				  the One-Year Work Program, an activity is the action that will be taken to
				  cause a project objective to be reached as scheduled. An activity can be
				  performed only once, several times, or it can be ongoing. An activity should be
				  specific to the level of detail necessary for the grant recipient and the
				  Office to understand how the project will accomplish its objectives.
(2) Evaluation. A study undertaken to
				  determine the extent to which a completed project met its goals and
				  objectives.
(3) Goal. A statement
				  of desired results to be achieved by the end of a multi-year period in terms of
				  a resolution or reduction of the poverty-related problem. A goal should be
				  limited to what the grant recipient can reasonably expect to accomplish within
				  two or more years and should be specific enough that the grant recipient can
				  determine whether it has been met.
(4) Impact Measure. An impact measure
				  indicates the extent to which achieving the goal produced the desired
				  results.
(5) Objective. A specific,
				  measurable result to be accomplished during the One-Year Work Program period by
				  implementing a project.
(6) Measure
				  of Efficiency. A standard used to determine the cost (in terms of dollars) of
				  meeting each project's objective(s) and/or goal(s).
(7) Performance Assessment. An examination to
				  determine whether progress is being made toward meeting a project's objectives,
				  and if not why not. An assessment first attempts to uncover differences from
				  expected or planned results and then analyzes these differences to determine
				  their causes, their consequences, what conclusions can be drawn, and what
				  recommendations can be made.
(8)
				  Performance Measure. An indicator of accomplishment used in assessment. A
				  performance measure indicates the extent to which the planned activities of a
				  project are on-target in meeting the stated objectives.
(9) Poverty-Related Problem. An obstacle
				  created by a cause(s) or reflecting a condition which prevents families who are
				  poor from having an income above the poverty guidelines.
(10) Program. A combination of projects
				  undertaken to accomplish the purpose of the CSBG Program.
(11) Project. A strategy selected for
				  implementation. The project is the level where objectives are set, resources
				  are applied, and work performed.
(12) Strategy. A method or way to achieve one
				  or more of goals established in the Agency Strategy for Eliminating Poverty. A
				  strategy selected from among other alternatives will, in most cases, be a
				  project proposed to be undertaken by the agency.
(13) Poverty Cause. A circumstance that
				  prevents a family having an income above the poverty guideline.
