Project Proposal

What is a Project Proposal?


• Project proposals are documents that define your project, including
things such as start and end dates, objectives and goals.
• They tell stakeholders why your project ideas should be executed.
• Reading about your ideas in a well-written document
How to write a project proposal
• You should have a good understanding of your project and your
recipient before writing your project proposal.
• Conducting preliminary research will help you write a detailed and
compelling document.
Parts of the Project Proposal
Section I: Executive Summary
- Summarize your project. Just like the introduction of an essay, this
section should aim to catch your recipient's attention and encourage
them to read on. Your executive summary should include details about:
• The problem your project solves
• How your project solves the problem
• Your project's intended impact
Section 2: Project background

Write a section that provides a background to the project and the


problem it seeks to address. This section should include:
• A history of the problem as it relates to your business
• A concise summary of your project's requirements
• Some details about your project (Project Site
You will write more about the details of your project in the following
section, so the details you provide here should be minimal. You might
focus on how and why you came to think of the project, for example.
This section should be relatively brief at one to three paragraphs in most
cases.
Section 3: Solutions and approach
• This section should explain your solution to the problem and how you
will execute it. It should include:
• Your goals and vision for the project
• What your project will deliver
• Your expected timeline
• Who will take ownership of the project
• More detailed solutions and approach sections may also include
details of any risks you anticipate and how you might address them,
how you will report to stakeholders during the project and what
criteria you will judge its success on. This section will usually be the
largest part of your project proposal.
Section 4: Project Work Plan / Human
Resources
• This section of the proposal should present the detailed work plan for
the project. This should cover how the project objectives will be
accomplished, what outcomes will be produced, what needs to be
done and by whom, how the work will be organized, within what time
frame, and how the outcomes of the project will be monitored.
Provide a schedule of work outlining the project’s objectives,
strategies, outcomes, main tasks and timelines. The use of a project
log frame may prove to be useful.
Section 5: Project Monitoring (Progress
Reporting)
• This section should contain a description of how the organisation will
monitor the progress and the outcomes of the project and its
contribution to indicator achievement
Section 6: Proposed Budget
• Your proposal should include a detailed Budget Justification explaining
an estimate for each line item. If applicable, support from
collaborating agencies and other funding sources that contribute
directly to the project should be itemised in the budget by source,
amount and duration.
Section 7: Conclusion

points you have already discussed. Include the most important
information needed to enhance your chances of receiving approval.
