FECT Projects Taxonomy

We have to define what a project is - is it something that is time bound and does not come under a theme? And a program is extended work in an area?  I suggest since all project are not equal  it may be instructive to classify our projects as        Main projects   - Hazards and Tea         Followup   Projects   - which are over and there is follow up / knowledge management / publishing - e.g. Water, Drought,  AgMIP,  MDP         Subsidiary Projects   - where FECT plays a subsidiary role and helping the partners - e.g. Investigative Journalism in Central SL     in Tamil , STEM Education in MV  (here we are also helping with the capacity development of the main orgs)       Social Service Projects   - AWWA website, Educational Support in our Locality         Internal Projects   - which are not funded currently but where we are shopping for sponsorship and working on - Dengue, Air Pollution, Coral Reefs, Emerging Infectious Diseases/ Malaria
