Project Management

Here your reader needs to know how the project will be staffed. In total, how manystaff are there?

Describe the management structure. Who is involved in oversight and direction? Howis the management selected?

For key positions, what skills are required? Do these skills already exist, or do theyneed to be outsourced or trained? Have the candidates already been identified? Ifneeded, explain how they were selected. Describe the duties for each key person.

Describe the support structure. What positions exist and how do they contribute tothe smooth- running of the project?

Which staff are full-time, and which are on a fixed number of days? What are thelines of responsibility and communication?

It may help to make an organigram or staffing diagram. Who is accountable towhom? Who reports to whom within the project? Who reports externally to donors,partners or media?

Budget

For the budget, do not simply present table of items listed against expense. Whendescribing the budget, start with the total budget and then break it down.

If possible, attribute the budget by percentage to each Output, so that the donors cansee how much of the funds is being used to each dimension of the project. (For fixedinvestment and support costs, distribute this evenly over all Outputs. For example, ifthere are five Outputs and shared project costs of 20,000$, 1/5 of this belongs toeach Output.)

Presenting a breakdown in this way is particularly useful when you may have severalpotential donors. While your project itself may not entirely fall within a donors sector,one of its Outputs may.

Also break budget down by type of cost, e.g. infrastructure, office running costs,staffing, transportation, etc. This will help the donor to assess whether the funding willbe used efficiently.

Now you can list in detail the main items, but dont put them all into just one table.Categorise the types of cost as you did above. End the costs part of the budget byexplaining any unusual items or large costs.

If your organisation intends to meet some of the project input requirements, mention

this here. You may, for example, already have equipment, vehicles or salaried staffthat can be utilised.This is also where you should mention if the project will generate any income. Forexample, a capacity building project may charge fees (even subsidised ones) for itsservices; or a target group may produce goods or provide services (such ashandicrafts or tourism services).

If you have already secured other funding, or anticipate particular organisations tocontribute, describe the support you expect here.

Final First Draft

Situation Analysis

On 17 July at around 5PM a big flood hit the coast of Kampung. As a result 60people died and more than one hundred were injured. Poor people in coastal areaswere the worst affected. Over 5000 people have been displaced. More than 2000have lost their homes, and the rest are traumatised, afraid to return home. TheseIDPs have taken shelter in temporary camps in a local school. Camp conditions areovercrowded. There are insufficient basic services, and the camp is unsanitary anddoes not have enough water. This presents a potential health risk. So far, responsefrom local government has been poorly managed and may not be enough to addressthe situation.

The 5000 IDPs at Camp A are in poor condition and facing potential serious healthrisks. As a result, the rate of disease is already high, and there have even beenfatalities. Some cases of diarrhoea, dermatitis and ARI have been reported so far,and one child has already died due to dysentery.

The two main causes are a lack of sanitary toilet and kitchen facilities, and severeovercrowding of available tents.

Limited access / poor quality of water and sanitation are contributing to a risingnumber of hygiene-related and waterborne diseases. A serious potential health threatto the affected population relates to water and sanitation (WATSAN). The quantity

and quality of water supply is insufficient against SPHERE standards. The number oflatrines is not enough to serve the affected people. Kitchens are unsanitary due tolack of clean water. Although the local government is providing health services free ofcharge, they are unprepared to deal with the likely epidemic, and local NGOs, too,are limited in their capacity to deal with any major outbreaks.

IDPs themselves have not been able to adapt easily to camp conditions.Communities have limited awareness of hygiene practices. In almost in everylocation visited the camps condition was unclean. Women are also concerned asthey do not feel safe and have little privacy.

There is a clear need for water supply and sanitation intervention and some supportfor temporary shelter materials.

Project Description

This project aims to bring about an improvement in the health status of IDPs at CampA. This will be done through immediately improving their living conditions.

Project strategy addresses the immediate needs / health risks, as well as longerterm, particularly where future emergencies are concerned. The primary approach isto provide, immediately, better access to WATSAN services and to reduce

overcrowding. At the same time, we will work towards improving the hygiene

practices of IDPs. Although end-user participation in planning and implementation islimited, this project will bring immediate relief to a critical situation. During the processof delivery we will involve communities wherever feasible, while developing thecapacity of partners to respond more effectively to future crises.

There are four main Outputs:

1. Provision of safe water2. Provision of safe latrines3. Reduced overcrowding4. Improved hygiene practices of IDPs

Output 1 Increased availability and accessibility of safe water for IDPs

IDPs will have access to three litres per person/day from five communal water tanks(capacity 2,000 litres each) set up in the camp within the first week intervention. Up to

100 buckets (capacity 20 litres each) will be distributed to 100 households in thecamp within the first week. We will conduct advocacy and coordinate with NGOs andlocal government on how to rapidly provide adequate safe water facilities for futurecrises.

Output 2 Increased availability and accessibility of safe latrines

Up to 20 temporary latrines will be constructed within two weeks. We will conductadvocacy and coordinate with NGOs and local government on how to rapidly provideadequate sanitation facilities for future crises.

Output 3 Occupancy of temporary shelters does not exceed 10 people per tent

Up to 100 tents will be distributed to 100 households within the first week. We willliaise with the local government (responsible for camp security) in setting up asecurity system participated in by IDPs. We will conduct advocacy and coordinatewith NGOs and local government on how to store and manage tents for future crises.

Output 4 IDPs apply effective hygiene practices

Parallel to provision of WATSAN services, all IDPs will be educated in how to

responsibly maintain the facilities. Up to 800 women (as traditional primarycaretakers of children and having regular responsibility for food preparation) willreceive training on basic hygiene with relation to childrens defecation and how tomaintain hygienic standards while cooking.

Monitoring & Evaluation

The project will be monitored and evaluated through observation (of work done,conditions and practices), by IDPs themselves through community meetings, andthrough health reports from the local government health post. These will be combinedinto progress and evaluation reports at the following key stages:


13/16



227

On completion of installation of water supplies, distribution of tents and buckets

Implementation report to donor / government counterparts Report back to IDPs in community meeting

At project end

Camp Assessment Community Assessment

One month after project end

Impact report to donor / government counterparts Report back to IDPs in community meeting

During implementation we will monitor the installation of facilities and distribution oftents. Once this phase is completed, we will assess the camp conditions in terms ofWATSAN access, and get feedback from IDPs through community meetings. At theend of two weeks, all activities will be complete. We will then assess use of servicesand community response. One month after completion of all activities we will againevaluate the camp condition, and assess the health status via health post reports.We will also assess how IDPs view the improved situation at this time, andrecommend any further actions needed.

Project Management

Altogether, there will be four project staff as follows:

1 x Project Manager (PM)2 x Project Officers (PO)1 x General Support Officer (GSO)

The Project Manager is responsible for overall coordination of activities and liaisingwith government and NGO partners. The PM is also responsible for final reports todonors / counterparts.

The Project Officers will be fully involved in oversight / monitoring of implementation,

hygiene awareness training to IDPs and conducting community meetings. They willreport directly to the PM.

The GSO provides logistic support to the PM and POs. Responsibilities includegeneral administration, transport management and liaising with construction teams /suppliers.

Budget

The total budget will be 18,650 GBP.

Endnote

Congratulations on having come this far. This module, Putting It All Together,covered the Drafting stage of the Writing Process. We have seen that, once we have

a plan, we can take our map and use it to guide us in presenting analysis and data.

Theres still a little more to do. In the final module we will look at Finishing off theProposal, covering such diverse areas as designing writing a summary, languageand style, and the editing process.
