Project App

3. distinguish between pre feasibility and feasibility and what type of feasibility studies required when preparing a project

Difference between financial and economic analysis

Explain Project Appraisal and compare and contrast project feasibility

Define sustainability explain with examples (practicle) weather project can go ahead when technical financial and managerial services withdrawn

’

In state sector, community managed water supply project, what criteria considered in appraising project (where access to safe drinking water is 55%)

Whether there is a water quality related issue

Focus where the quality is low

Water source – is it closer or too far

Treatable level – may not give a chance to go for a worse case scenario

Identify houses with no access/water facility

(toilets are constructed but no water)

Sustainability is also very important – optimal maintainance

Will there be cost recovery

Community to manage water

Fixed meter or unit based meter is better (usage based rates are better)

Well-designed project also can be failed at hands of mgt,

What is meant by project management and identify important areas

Areas that the projext manager focus

Planing, organizing, coordinating, communicating, controlling to make sure that poject objectives are achieved (Achivement of project objective is important)

What are the knowledge management areas (project manager should focus on these areas)

Scope

Time

Cost

Quality

HR

Procument

Risk

Communication

Integration

Project Management Information system elements

If to design a project – what elements to include and whats the coverage

Financial Progress

Physical Progress

Information on quality is important

Results (Cost over runs)

Pictorial evidences – important to see the actual position

Reporting the pictures

Malaysian system – established normal operational from electose information system with pictures

Network Analysis – critical activities

Compare and contrast monitoring and evaluation

Monitoring – more on the work plan

Whether the plan is delivered/ going according to the targeted schedule

On input and output

Project management

Evaluation – concerned onn project objectives, purposes, results of the project – basically outcome and impact (results)

Looking at by picture

LFA should be there + unexpected results are not captured by LFA

Independent outsider

Mon – for traking the project progress

Eva – Accountability for result and learning

LFA

Well defined, objectively, described, evaluable project.

Explain the key terms

How to define LFA – management, Controling, Monitoring and evaluation, input & output to outcome & impact focu

Why use LFA

1. For results base Planing2. Result based Management and evaluation

OOPP.MM

Objective oriented (results based) project planning

Well designed –

Objective described – coloumns (input, actions, output, outcome, activities, goals, purpose)

Evaluable – KPIs movta assets and evaluate results of the project ( MOF, OVI)

Drawing a matrix – (4x4)

Hierachy of OBJ OVI MOV Key assumptionsInput *KPI *where data are

collected*ext factors)

Output (district level info, Cbsl data, community interview)

Purpose *data sourcesGoal

Explain how the planners are using LFA, when preparing their projects

verticle logic – 1st coloumn to 4th coloumn

theory of change is well articulate in the first coloumn

last colomn – external factors (along influence the project) – risks

Ex : inland fisheries project

Cultural and social aspects were not considered

…………………….. ………………………. Project

Parents to be supported, that should be taken to the first coloumn

Evaluators – 2nd and 3rd coloms

Explain how the project managers are using LFA

Horizontal logic – HOO, OVI, MOV

Want to see input indicators, output, outcome and impact indicators source of data

Manager will monitor ………….. also, eventhough horizontal is imp

Project planners are more concerned on internalizing of external factors

How are the risks internalized?

Risks in the last column

1. Probability of occurrence2. Significance of the impact

………………………. Project

House quota stopped, situation further worsened, then awareness to the parents on mid day meal program

Build school awareness not given onn value of learning
