WRITING PROJECT PROPOSAL

&he Basic Components of a Proposalhere are eiht basic components to creatin a solid proposal pac(ae+ 6%7 the proposal summary? 6!7 introduction of

ranization? 6@7 the problem statement 6or needs assessment7? 6&7 project objectives? 6"7 project methods or desin? 67 projectvaluation? 67 future fundin? and 67 the project budet. he followin will provide an overview of these components.

&he Proposal Smmar!' %tline of Project $oals

he proposal summary outlines the proposed project and should appear at the beinnin of the proposal. It could be in the formf a cover letter or a separate pae) but should definitely be brief D no loner than two or three pararaphs. he summary woulde most useful if it were prepared after the proposal has been developed in order to encompass all the (ey summary pointsecessary to communicate the objectives of the project. It is this document that becomes the cornerstone of your proposal) and

he initial impression it ives will be critical to the success of your venture. In many cases) the summary will be the first part of theroposal pac(ae seen by aency officials and very possibly could be the only part of the pac(ae that is carefully reviewedefore the decision is made to consider the project any further.

he applicant must select a fundable project which can be supported in view of the local need. Alternatives) in the absencef /undin support) should be pointed out. he influence of the project both durin and after the project period should be0plained. he conseuences of the project as a result of fundin should be hihlihted.

ntrodction'Presenting a Credile pplicant or %rgani*ationhe applicant should ather data about its oranization from all available sources. *ost proposals reuire a description of anpplicant2s oranization to describe its past and present operations.

Some features to consider are+

A brief bioraphy of board members and (ey staff members.

he problem statement 6or needs assessment7 is a (ey element of a proposal that ma(es a clear) concise) and well,supportedtatement of the problem to be addressed. he best way to collect information about the problem is to conduct and documentoth a formal and informal needs assessment for a proram in the taret or service area. he information provided should beoth factual and directly related to the problem addressed by the proposal.

Convincin evaluations reuire the collection of appropriate data before and durin proram operations.

If the evaluation desin cannot be prepared at the outset then a critical review of the proram desin may be advisable.

9ven if the evaluation desin has to be revised as the project proresses) it is much easier and cheaper to modify a ood desin.f the problem is not well defined and carefully analyzed for cause and effect relationships then a ood evaluation desin may beifficult to achieve. Sometimes a pilot study is needed to bein the identification of facts and relationships. #ften a thorouhterature search may be sufficient.

9valuation reuires both coordination and areement amon proram decision ma(ers 6if (nown7. Above all) the /undin rantorency2s reuirements should be hihlihted in the evaluation desin. Also) /undin rantor aencies may reuire specificvaluation techniues such as desinated data formats 6an e0istin //, %%,$ information collection system7 or they may offernancial inducements for voluntary participation in a national evaluation study. he applicant should as( specifically about these

oints. Also) consult the Criteria /or Selectin ;roposals section of the Catalo proram description to determine the e0actvaluation methods to be reuired for the proram if funded.

rant. 4iscuss maintenance and future proram fundin if proram is for construction activity. Account for other needed0penditures if proram includes purchase of euipment.

&he Proposal Bdget' Planning the Bdgetundin levels in /undin assistance prorams chane yearly. It is useful to review the appropriations over the past several years

o try to project future fundin levels 6see /inancial Information section of the Catalo proram description7.

Eowever) it is safer to never anticipate that the income from the rant will be the sole support for the project. his considerationhould be iven to the overall budet reuirements) and in particular) to budet line items most subject to inflationary pressures.

-estraint is important in determinin inflationary cost projections 6avoid paddin budet line items7) but attempt to anticipate

ossible future increases.Some vulnerable budet areas are+ utilities) rental of buildins and euipment) salary increases) food) telephones) insurance) andransportation. Budet adjustments are sometimes made after the rant award) but this can be a lenthy process. Be certain thatmplementation) continuation and phase,down costs can be met. Consider costs associated with leases) evaluation systems)ardFsoft match reuirements) audits) development) implementation and maintenance of information and accountin systems)nd other lon,term financial commitments.

A well,prepared budet justifies all e0penses and is consistent with the proposal narrative. Some areas in need of an evaluationor consistency are+%7 the salaries in the proposal in relation to those of the applicant oranization should be similar?!7 if new staff persons are bein hired) additional space and euipment should be considered) as necessary?@7 if the budet calls for an euipment purchase) it should be the type allowed by the rantor aency?&7 if additional space is rented) the increase in insurance should be supported?"7 if an indirect cost rate applies to the proposal) the division between direct and indirect costs should not be in conflict) and thereate budet totals should refer directly to the approved formula? and7 if matchin costs are reuired) the contributions to the matchin fund should be ta(en out of the budet unless otherwisepecified in the application instructions.

is very important to become familiar with Government,wide circular reuirements. he Catalo identifies in the proramescription section 6as information is provided from the aencies7 the particular circulars applicable to a /undin proram) andummarizes coordination of 90ecutive #rders. he applicant should thorouhly review the appropriate circulars since they aressential in determinin items such as cost principles and conformin with Government uidelines for /undin assistance.

his process. Still there are many 3G#s and many activists wor(in in positive way and in positive patters

on that basis our society is movin towards riht direction. Specially the persons from new eneration are

more positive in this positive process to improve the society. So fair 3G# concept is acceptable concept for

he chane ma(ers of society.

;articipation of 3G#s in development wor( in India is neliible. Share of development assistance in

comparision to other countries is less in India. But the main factor is that many of these 3G#s involved in

activities that are essential for the survival of our democracy) such as holdin overnments and institutions

accountable and defend the rihts of marinalized and voiceless people. 3G# are part of the ideas totrenthen democratic overnance. In India there is a roup of some corporates and politicians who want to

establish their control over economy throuh rulin they are defamin the 3G# sector to ma(e their way

clear so they can move ahead to complete rulin and overnance.

n India there is a limited civil society space) and in the process to et total control over overnance and

principles of democracy) such as participation) human rihts) transparency and accountability they do not

want to emere the 3G# concept. In this way India will be li(e the countries such as Saudi Arabia) blac(

holes are human rihts) because there is no space for civil society. 3G#s in India have an important role in

maintainin situation of the socio,economic and human riht issues. *ost of the forein funds provided to

3G#s in India is for financial improvement and upliftment of livelihood of poor and marinalised Indians) sonothin is wron to et it and use it for the said purpose in society. And in some human rihts and

democratic value issues the persons wor(in with or runnin the 3G#s ta(e participation in human rihts

and other democratic and ethical rihts issue nothin is wron on political part. If it is not e0plained and

a(en on that part where some opposition party or parties are supported by some particular forein fundin

roups then it must be increased transparently as the priority of the head of rulin team of Government is to

mprove the condition of India in lobal conte0t.
