Foreseeable effects mean any effects- measurable or not- which you can expect to happen, as a result of your campaign. These will guide us to understand the general goals that you are expecting campaign to achieve.

Short term measurable effects refer to specific quantifiable metrics which you should be able to observe in the immediate term, as a result of your campaign. For example: the number of beneficiaries who are directly impacted.

Medium term measurable effects refer to specific quantifiable metrics which you should be able to observe within the span of a couple months after of your campaign. For example: the indirect effects of a campaign, which have trickled down to society as a whole within the medium term.
