2016_KRAs_EandC

In 2016, ILRI's key result areas (KRAs) need to be SMART, i.e.:
 * Specific - they should be about very precise results
 * Measurable - we should be able to have indicators (figures or otherwise) that tell us we achieved them
 * Assignable - someone should effectively be responsible for each SMART objective
 * Realistic - they should be 'achievable', not wishful thinking (e.g. reduce the level of poverty of 50 million people in one year)
 * Time-bound - dates, durations, deadlines that give an idea when the objective is achieved
