Most of the projects are influenced by various external factors/risks, which are beyond the direct control of the implementing agency. Thus, it is very important to identify those risks & the measures to be taken to address those risks. These risks could be because of the vital role & changing pattern of different stakeholders of the project, such as unstable environment because of sudden change in Govt. schemes/policies, behavioral change amongst the beneficiaries etc.
Example of an assumption could be- lack of proper road communication will lead to children’s non-attendance and dropout in Education Resource Center. The measure to address it will be that the organization will set up the Education Resource Center at a centrally located area so that it will be accessible by most number of beneficiaries.
An assumption has its influence on the goal, objectives, activities & the expected outcomes of a project.
