Conclusion and Evaluation : -
While making deep evaluation of this institutional project, it seems
completely effective and contextual. However, it is necessary to
emphasize on systematic implementation of this project. It will be
centered in those people and groups, who are deprived of human rights
and victimized by the terrorism. As this project is a mixture of the
guarantee of human rights and universal peace and order, it is
believed to be entirely successful. So, this project will be proved to
be beneficial for raising universal unity, brotherhood and
implementing the principle of human rights in forth-coming days.
Project Proposal : Theoretical Background
Plan : -
A plan is an image, map, or vision to represent the forms and/or
features of desired situation(s). "It is a means to build a
constituency for change. It is also evidence of an explicit allocation
of resources to the task- and the means to mobilize additional,
external resources" (UNDP, 2000). It is equally applicable in terms of
understanding the 'concept of plan' be it in community or national
level context.
Of course, a plan prepared to develop a certain community is
understood as Community Development Plan whereas a plan prepared to
develop a district or region is called the District Development Plan
or the Regional Development Plan. On the other hand, depending upon
different sectors (agriculture, education, forestry, health and so on)
there may be different sector-specific plans and we call each of them
' Sectoral Development Plan'. And finally, we have the National
Development Plan, which should be understood as an integration of all
levels, and sector-based development plans.
In a plan document, we can find only the level or sector-specific
broad decisions indicating what and how much is to be achieved with
the investment of given resources ( finance, human, time, technology
etc.).
A plan itself is static. In other words, a plan representing only an
imagination or vision will have no meaning unless it is put into
operation to achieve its set objective/s.
Planning, on the other hand, is a process to formulate a plan and also
an action drive to put the plan into operation in order to produce the
targeted results. It involves a pre-consideration of resource
commitment ( finance, human, time, technology etc.) required for the
implementation of plan. It is dynamic.
There is a mutual dependence between a plan's vision and the
materialization of its goal. So, much of the success of a plan depends
upon the following circumstances.
How clearly and realistically the planners formulate the plan?
How far the plan implementing agencies coincide with the vision of planners?
How far the programmes and projects approved to execute are in
line with the plan objective/s?
Things to Remember - If the above said considerations do not follow
the same direction, it will be something like some valuable musical
instruments but played without coordination.
Programme : -
A program-me is the extensive and consistent set of action units
stating the needs of interrelated activities to achieve the plan's
objectives and goal. There could be several program-mes within a plan
or a development plan.
In fact, the success of a PLAN necessarily depends upon the accuracy
and clarity shown in its program formulation followed by clear action
outlines on one hand and the establishment of inter-sectoral and
inter-organizational sound coordination and cooperation mechanisms, on
the other.
Project : -
Projects are the specific schemes or action units designated for the
investment of given resources and skills with an aim of attaining some
predetermined objective/s. Projects involve real actions as per the
direction of program-me outlines. So, a program-me may consist of
several projects.
In other words, projects are the specific action units within the
framework of a program-me and program-mes are the integrated blocks of
development plan. Therefore, proper formulation of sector-specific
plan, program-me and project necessarily indicate the pace and
direction of development process of any community, district, and
thereby of an economy. Projects remain themselves at the bottom level
of any plan.
Interrelationship between Plan, Program-me & Project
Plan
Development or Sectoral Plans - Broad Decisions
Program-mes - Action Outlines
Project - Action Execution
There may be several types and natures of projects functioning in any
community or country. All of such projects are tied up, in one or
another way, to their respective program-mes. Likewise, there may be
several program-mes within a plan designed to fit into the set goal of
a plan.
Type and Nature of Projects : -
In broad, for a simple understanding, categorization of different
types and natures of projects can be done on the following basis.
However, it should not be taken as a comprehensive or complete
classification.
Classification of Projects
Basis Type and Nature of Projects
Sector : non-industrial or industrial
Ownership : private or public
Output : goods producing or service providing
Motto : profit or non-profit oriented
Scale : small, medium, large (depends on definition)
Project Characteristics in Common : -
Despite the different types and natures of projects we observe in
different sectors and in different levels, all of those necessarily
reflect a set of common characteristics.
Common Characteristics of all Projects
Objective
each and every project needs to be guided to achieve an objective or a
set of objectives.
Investment
every project requires certain investment of resources (money,
material, time, information or technology, manpower,etc.)
Space
Every project needs space be it physical, aerial, aesthetic,
political, cultural etc
System
all projects need to undergo a system of inputs- process - outputs.
Cycle
every project will have its own phase-based cycle. In other words,
every project starts from its identification and ends up with
evaluation. Depending upon the type and scale of a project, phases of
project cycle may vary from project to project.
Project Cycle Phase : An Example
Project A
Phase I Identification
Phase II Formulation
Phase III Implementation M & E
Project B
Phase I Identification
Phase II Formulation
Phase III Appraisal
Phase IV Implementation M & E
In the above project cycle example, there are only three phases in
project ''A'' whereas there are four phases in project ''B''. In other
cases there may be many more phases as well. All this largely depends
upon the type and nature of a project. However, in general context, we
can say that every project will have invariably three phases and they
are:
Pre-project implementation phase (including all activities
starting from project identification to project appraisal);
Project implementation phase (including monitoring and on-going
evaluation; and
Post-project implementation phase (conducting impact evaluation).
Project Approach in Planning : -
It has been already said above that a plan is a representation of
vision and projects are the real action units undertaken in order to
achieve the goal envisioned in the plan. Hence a plan vision may be
based either on top-down or bottom-up approach.
The practice of formulating plan, program-mes and projects at central
level and pushed down to the field level for its implementation is
known as top-down approach. Here the requirements and interest of
local people while selecting and implementing projects are not taken
into consideration, in general. Local people, in such case become just
onlookers rather than the actors in doing development works. Usually,
projects designed under top-down approach are experienced to face
failure from a number of reasons. Some of the key reasons for their
failures are as follows.
Reasons for Top-Down Project Failures : -
Ambiguous project objectives set on the basis of insufficient
information and unreliable data while planning the project and
designing its M &E system;
Conflicts in set objectives of different projects that are working to
achieve the common goal of a program-me;
Absence of field-based experienced and/or qualified personnel to
design and carry out projects;
Lack of proper communication between project planning (central) and
project implementing (local) agencies;
corruption at higher levels in the name of local level development;
No timely release of budget from the cent-re;
Project and Project Proposal : -
* Interlink
A proposal is the guiding document of a project. Virtually, success of
a project is largely determined by its project proposal document. In
other words, a well-designed project proposal may leave no room for
confusion and convulsions while undertaking and performing project
activities. So there is a close interlink between the future goings-on
of a project and its proposal document.
* Uniqueness
Depending upon the type, scale, and nature of projects each and every
project will have its own uniqueness from different dimensions. So it
is not possible to provide a standard format for improving the project
proposal writing skills equally applicable for all types and natures
of projects. We have to develop our individual project proposal
writing skills by ourselves.
Project Identification and their Sources : -
Once we get a clear understanding about the concept of projects, our
next step will be to identify the potential and useful projects that
could be helpful to expedite the development process. Paradoxically,
projects may be lying here and there in different sectors
(agriculture, health, education etc.) and in varying levels or ranging
from grass roots to national levels.
Usually, project identification ideas come out from various sorts of
problems those we face in our day to day life. Problems we face in our
daily life may be looked from the perspectives of improving the
existing situation of people, community, and organization at varying
levels. On the other land, project ideas also may pop up to exploit
promising opportunities which are either directly observed in
different fields or are recommended by research studies, workshops,
seminars, reports etc. Anyhow, most of the projects may be identified
in relation to
Sources to Projects : -
The above discussions give a broad idea about the origin of different
types, nature, and scale of projects. Alternatively, we may call them
as the sources of projects.
Sources to project, on the other hand, refer to those individuals or
organizations that give life to an identified project. In other words,
each and every identified project, if it is to be implemented, needs
the involvement of certain amount of investment (financial and
non-financial) to be committed by someone else. So any person or
organization taking interest to invest and manage a project may be
alternatively called as project animator or project sponsor or "
Sources to Projects".
Steps in Project Selection/Screening : -
Since the focus of this guidebook centers around to improve the skills
in writing project proposal, the identification and selection process
of a candidate project with a view to write proposal thereon is listed
below in a point-wise basis rather than in details.
Recognize the types and natures of projects you have identified
Establish operational nature of your project
Do basic homework (whatever is needed )
Find out the funding agency or sources to project
Understanding the interest of funding agency
Check whether your and sponsor's interests are matching
Prepare and forward project proposal
Project Proposal : Introductory Background
A project proposal is simply a basic document having explanation of
activities to be performed while undertaking an investment project. In
other words, it is a written document prepared and proposed to do
something in a per-planned way with a view to successfully carry out
the given assignment. Generally, a project proposal should
satisfactorily answer the following questions.
Project Proposal : Importance
A doctor examines her/his patient and prescribes medicine. Engineer
draws technical map prior to starting any construction work with a
view to execute the same in a per-planned way without any hurdle.
Similarly, a manager or a development planner also needs to identify
the appropriate projects required for her/his community or
organization development and state the Whats, Whys and Hows of any
development project that s/he is going to propose. From this
standpoint, a development actor may be considered as a social engineer
to structure the future of a community or a doctor to examine the
socioeconomic illness and provide right prescriptions of development
process to be undergone by a community through selecting and
implementing appropriate and needy projects.
Proposal Writing: Science or Art : -
Identifying and screening right project/s from different points of view;
Setting reasonable and achievable objective or objectives;
Deciding appropriate design/method for project works; and
using resources in an effective and efficient way.
Types of Project Proposals : -
Depending upon different fields and natures of projects, there may be
several types of project proposals. Even so, some of the proposals we
usually come across can be broadly classified as is presented in the
following ways. However, it should not be taken for an exhaustive
classification. On the other hand, the following ways indicate the
types of the proposal writing skills of which we are starting to
develop.
Proposal
Development Work-related
Scientific Investigation
Development Work-related
Business Enterprise Related
Socioeconomic Development Based
Scientific Investigation
Academic
Non-academic
Level or Scale of Project Proposals : -
There may be varying levels and scales of project proposals. All this
largely depends on the nature and type of project you have identified
and intended to prepare proposal on. Virtually, there is not a cut off
point or demarcation line to call a particular project as small or
big. The " smallness and bigness" of a project largely depends upon a
number of parameters like the amount of investment made on it, command
area covered by it, employment generated by it, foreign currencies
earned by it and so on. Therefore, it is the concern of project
awarding authorities to fix certain parameters to call a project
either small or medium or big one. However, keeping in mind the skills
required for writing project proposals, we can plainly see the level
or scale of a project from basic, advanced and more advanced
standpoints.
Project Proposal Levels
Tender Proposal Funding Proposal
More Advanced More Advanced
Advanced Advanced
Basic Basic
It is clear that a tender or funding proposal could be either basic or
advanced or more advanced in its level. But as a beginner in this
field, our attempt should be to start writing project proposals from
basic level and move towards the advanced and more advanced levels. On
the other hand, skill required for preparing various levels of
proposals may differ to a great extent.

Forex
Necessary Tool for Forex and Loan
Loan
Loan refers to the taking money or current asset with the condition to
be pay after a period with some added value.
Secured Loan Definition
Secured loan is a loan in which the borrower pledges some asset ( e.g.
a car ) as collateral for the loan. The loan is thus secured against
the collateral in the event that the borrower defaults, the lender
takes possession of the asset used as collateral and may sell it to
regain the amount originally lent to the borrower. As the loan is
secured, the lender is relieved of most of the financial risks
involved; he may thus offer attractive terms for the borrower on
interest rates and repayment period.
Unsecured Loan Definition
Unsecured loans are loans that are not guaranteed with any asset, so
that the risk of repossession does not exist. Though the lender can
still take legal action in order to recover the money, such a legal
process would be significantly longer and more expensive than with
secured loans. Typical unsecured loans are credit card debt, bank
overdrafts, and personal loans.
Forex & Loan Information
Equity Loan
An equity loan is a mortgage placed on real estate in exchange for
cash to the borrower. For example, if a person owns a home worth
$100,000, but does not currently have a lien on it, they may take an
equity loan at 80% loan to value (LTV) or $80,000 in cash in exchange
for a lien on title placed by the lender of the equity loan.Many
lending institutions require the borrower to repay only an interest
component of the loan each month (calculated daily, and compounded to
the loan once each month). The borrower can apply any surplus funds to
the outstanding loan principal at any time, reducing the amount of
interest calculated from that day onwards. Some loan products also
allow the possibility to redraw cash up to the original LTV,
potentially perpetuating the life of the loan beyond the original loan
term.The rate of interest applied to equity loans is much lower than
that applied to unsecured loans, such as credit card debt.
