Project Plan 1. Scope: defines what will be covered in a project 2. Resource: what can be used to meet the scope 3. Time: what tasks are to be undertaken and when. 4. Quality: the spread or deviation allowed from a desired standard. 5. Risk: defines in advance what may happen to drive the plan off course, and what will be done to recover the situation

The Project Cycle & Contracts Design Identifying nature of problem and possible solutions--specific needs and desired changes Appraisal (Mandatory) data needed to prepare project plan and measure completion

C OMMUNITY P ROJECT D ESIGN

The Project Cycle Analysis--collection of information Prediction Selection of preferred alternatives Measurement of Impact to determine contract fulfillment

The Project Cycle and the Contract Analysis--collection of: Social Analysis targeted groups: women, minorities, indigenous peoples Economic Analysis--Cost Benefit Institutional Analysis Sustainability Organizational Requirements Recurrent Cost Implications Human Skills Needed Social Acceptance

The Project Cycle Analysis The Logical Framework: (LOGFRAME) If-then conditions Some donors have moved away from original Log- frame Was replaced by a system based on identifying Strategic Objectives, Intermediate Results, Impacts, Measurable Indicators, etc. That system was recently "de-emphasized." AID mission requests for funds were tied to promises of specific results Results Framework system is "under review."

Logical Framework

Performance Networks Practical Concepts, Incorporated Project Objectives Achieved 3. Evaluation2. Execution 1.

E-Governance- 2

E-Governance simple publications, posters, public information presentations simple software programs designed to demonstrate basic principles of governance Includes the use of advocacy, information rights, the functioning of district government bodies and administrators and the functioning of committees

Impact of E-Governance Limited evidence of community based civil society groups strengthened Problem: Private Sector Programs often more utilized Conclusion: Maybe a Dumb idea
