Making Project Proposal
The following procedure will guide the
trainees in doing this exercise:

1. Prelude Activity
Based on the different dimension of the
development such as education, health,
safety and disaster management,
environment, morals of citizenry,
entrepreneurship, sports and recreation, think
of a project which you plan to do in the
community as an offshoot of your activity in
community needs assessment.

 Discussion Highlights
Project Planning and Implementation

Project is a time-bound undertaking that is carried out to create

a unique service. It combines resources and channeled into a
temporary structure in order to accomplish a specific goal.

Project development involves a series of continuous, often

overlapping phases. This cyclical process launches with survey
of felt needs in the locality that will serve as baseline
information in the formulation of project or set of projects that
may be undertaken in an uninterrupted or staggered manner.

05/16/2024
 Project Planning
In the formulation of a project, a planner
must take into consideration the needs pf the
target clients. In this undertaking, the trainer
together with the trainees must assist the
community in identifying, analyzing and
prioritizing the needs and concern they must
tackle.

What is a Project Proposal?

A project proposal is a guide for both the
trainees and trainers in attaining tasks while
they are in community immersion.

05/16/2024
 Purpose of making project proposal in the
light of NSTP

 It guides trainees and Trainor's in designing

a program for their clientele.
 It facilitates implementation, monitoring and
evaluation of the projects.
 It serves as database in making reports as a
requirements to the course.
 It makes work easier for it serves as
reference for trainees to give the right
information needed for the project.
 It serves as a ready source of data for
research work.

The Parts of a Project Proposal for NSTP Immersion Projects
There are various formats used in the preparation of a project proposal. Below is one of the
designs followed. It elicits the following information:

1. The Title.
The title of the project must capture the need and present the name of the clientele to be
served. It must be catchy to the readers. It must be written in all capital letter, bold and
centered.
Example:

I. Project Title: OPERATION PLAN (OPLAN): CLEAN AND GREEN

(A Project on Waste Management and Green Philippines)

05/16/2024
2.Project Proponents.
This part enumerates the names of persons to be involved
in the project, their year level (if trainees), rank (if trainers),
contact numbers and address or college. If their level are several
activities that require several leaders in every undertaking,
names must be specified per activity.
Example:

Group 1 – CWTS-COE-MAKA-DIYOS 6 Class

05/16/2024
 3. Implementing Units/Implementers. It must be noted that in writing this
part of the proposal, capital letters must be used to differentiate from the
project proponents.
Example:

Group 1 (manpower – for placing trash bins in particular areas distributing other materials)

Group leader: Padora, Paolo

Members:
Tubig, Mark Anthony
Palles, Janice; Morales
Ricardo; Macuja, Katherine
Lampitoc, Sarah
Lehayan, Carlo; Rayos Orly
Roa, Michelle
Robles, Vina
San Jose, Maricel
Samson Emmanuel 05/16/2024
4. Project Duration.
Specify days, weeks and months needed to complete the project.
Specify when the project will commence and when will it be finished.
Attach a Gantt chart of activity based on the length of the project.

Example:

Date of Implementation
January 21 and 28, 2007
05/16/2024
5. Length of Implementation:

Four-day implementation only. For the first day, 8 hours of community work
(5 hours in the morning for the preparation of the place and actual lecture.

Another 3 hours in the afternoon for the distribution/placement of the waste

segregation trash bins). For the second day, monitoring and evaluation of the
activity project will be done.

05/16/2024
6. Objectives of the Project.

The objectives of the project must be written in operational terms on

what you intend to do to solve identified problem related to the project.

The characteristics of the objectives must be specific, measurable,

attainable, realistic and time bound (SMART). State properly by using
the right verbs that describe what you want to address in relation to the
underlying problems within a certain period of time.

05/16/2024
 General objectives can be framed as basis of formulating specific
objectives of the project. It must also consider the domains of learning such as the
cognitive (knowledge – mind), psychomotor (skills – body) and affective
(values/behavior – heart).

Example:

“The general purpose of the two-day project is the maintenance of the cleanliness in
Barangay San Jose. Toward this end, the following objectives are set:

1. To imbibe the importance of cleanliness among the participants;

2. To increase the awareness of the community people in advantages of waste; and
3. To solicit the support of the people in maintaining cleanliness and orderliness
through waste segregation.”

05/16/2024
7. Project Description. The following standards must be observed in writing the project
description in facilitating the drafting of the proposal:

a. Background of the project

This part requires at least 3 paragraphs that provide a realistic background of the project describing
the modifying issues/problems that have influenced the identification of the project.
You can identify particular differences or advantages over exiting projects or cite issues in some
publications as proofs of underlying problem or realistic as serious or of general occurrence.

Example:

“We have noticed that, in some areas of the barangay, improper waste
disposal is prevalent. In like manner, the incidence of open-hole drainage system
in the locality may pose a threat on the healthy condition of the residents thereat.” 05/16/2024
b. Justification of the project

Discuss the importance of the prepared project in solving or providing action to help solve
existing problems inherent to the project.
Give the expected output of the project, benefits derived from it, and most probable
recipient of the benefits of the projects. It must be written in 3-5 paragraphs.

Example:

“A survey conducted last April 10, 2023 reveals that the barangay is
faced with the problem of improper waste disposal especially in the
squatters’ area. It is for this reason that the project is viewed as a
significant intervention in setting in place a system of waste
management.” 05/16/2024
c. Benefits derived from the project
This section should reflect the advantages or benefits that the activity will bring
about when it is implemented. If possible, it should mirror outcomes – or the long term
results that people will receive.

Example:

“The target audience will benefit from the project in terms

of acquisition of know-how on waste management,
prevention of diseases/illness associated with improper
waste disposal and unhygienic surroundings.”

05/16/2024
d. Coverage

The area or vicinity covered by the project and the type of clients to be served should be
reflected in the proposal.
This gives focus to whom the project is for and the extent of its implementation.

Example:

“The project will cover the 50 families of the Barangay

specifically the household and unemployed housewives.”

05/16/2024
8. Methodology.

This part cites the activities or strategies that should be undertaken in order to achieve the
objectives of the project.
It should describe the general approach of the project, agency counterpart in case of
partnership, responsibilities and obligations, manpower requirement and the manner on how the
specific activity will be undertaken if the project calls for it.
Example:

“The lecture-seminar method will be employed in the project.

Setting up of waste segregation bins will also be done.”
05/16/2024
8. Detailed Budgetary
Requirements.
In preparation of the budget,
the budgetary requirement of all
activities must be considered. The
amount varies depending on the extent
of the project coverage.
For most instances, the bigger
the project, the larger the budget
required. In many cases, budget
depends on the size of expenditures
needed. Sources of fund must also be
specified. Budget is prepared using
the following data.

needs assessment by the trainees.

SYNTHESIS
The project development approach follows as systematic process that involves
determining the needs and the problems in the community/barangay/purok, planning,
implementing and evaluating time-limited initiative that is undertaken to create a unique
service.
This specific concerns in the development of project can be viewed in a cyclical
presentation of the various phase involved in the process known as project cycle. The
stages are as follows:
1. Community Needs Assessment
2. Project Formulation. Planning
3. Organization of Resources
4. Implement the Project
5. Project Monitoring
6. Impact Evaluation
7. Review of the Action Plan
05/16/2024
It is worth while to give due attention to the critical role played
by planning in the execution of the project. Remember, “if you
fail to plan, you plan to fail.”
