PROJECT PROPOSAL Flashcards
a document that is used to convince a sponsor that a project needs to be kicked-off to solve a particular business problem or opportunity. It
describes in depth, how the project is going to be commenced so that the sponsor
understands what is involved early.
project proposal
a document with which an NGO puts
forward a specific project to a donor for funding consideration.
proposal
proposal is made in response to an official request for a proposal. In a way, this is the easiest way to create a proposal for a new project, since the Request For Proposal (RFP) document will usually tell you exactly what the
customer or audience wants and sometimes even directions for preparing the proposal.
formally solicited
the same as formally solicited ones,
except the information they are based on isn’t set out in a specific document.
Informally solicited
are the project equivalent of cold calls – nobody
asked to receive one, but (if you’ve done your homework) it can still provide a ton of
value.
Unsolicited
are by far and away the easiest to write, since
these are essentially reminders/updates for ongoing (and already approved) projects.
Continuation
Once an ongoing project has finished or outlived its usefulness (and support for it
is going to be terminated), a _______ can be written to make the case
for its continued support.
Renewal
is required when you need to ask for extra
resources for a project (beyond those originally proposed). The main aim when writing
these proposals is to be able to justify the extra resources and produce updated
estimates of what the project will now take to complete.
Supplemental
should appear on proposals longer than three to four pages.
Title page
should be short, concise, and preferably refer to a certain key project result or the leading project activity.
Project title
Many readers lack the time needed to read the
whole project proposal. It is therefore useful to insert a short project _______
Abstract/Executive Summary
This part of the project describes the social, economic, political and cultural background from which the project is initiated.
Context
A rationale should be provided for the project.
Project justification
define the _______ _______ and show how it will benefit from the project.
should describe activities and
resource allocation in as much detail as possible.
