A jargon buster has been produced to make life easier for all! The authors are from a Jargon buster group which is an informal partnership of funders, Government departments, regulatory bodies and voluntary sector organisations.

Funders and support agencies use concepts and terms from the language of planning, project management and performance improvement in different ways. This lack of agreed definitions has led to widespread confusion about what particular terms mean andhow to use them most appropriately. This guide aims to fill in those gaps. You can use the guide in two ways; locate the relevant term in alphabetical order or in a theme topic.  There is a short explanation of each term and a more detailed discussion which includes examples of how it is used.
