PRESENTATION: The presentation, introduction or brief history of the project should tell the story of your community and the idea of the project. Thus:
- It should not be very extensive; It should not talk about people, individuals, but a collective process;
Avoid expressions like "helpless," "flawed," "needy," "helpless," "unhappy," "minors." Use less favored, excluded, chemical dependent (addicted) child, social inequality. Don't "appeal," use proper terms;
Describe the mission, the form of management of your institution or group;
Comment on your experience, on the conquests already achieved by the group and on future prospects;
Comment on the capacity of your organization to execute projects like the one proposed.
OVERALL OBJECTIVE
The general objective is the specific situation that you want to achieve from the project.
Most of the time, an overarching goal serves multiple subject areas. They are the expected benefits, in the long term. Think in terms of time and space.
Generally, the "bigger" objective will only be achieved with a series of specific strategies and objectives.
The general objective is written in the infinitive, and its formulation uses verbs, such as: expand, increase, decrease, reduce, contribute, ensure, guarantee, increase, obtain, endow, incorporate, demonstrate, promote, encourage, develop (in broad sense), among others.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
The specific objectives are related to the general objective of the project.
They must answer three questions: "what," "when," and "how much." Starting the phrase with verbs in the infinitive, such as: train, implement, implement, elaborate, make available, sensitize, incorporate, develop, qualify, expand, coordinate, advise and structure, among others.
They must also be:
Measurable - to allow monitoring and evaluation;
Appropriate - linked to general objectives, strategies, vision and mission;
Determined in time - having a deadline for its completion;
Clear - to avoid misinterpretation;
Realistic - reflecting reality.
JUSTIFICATION
In some project models, this item appears in the presentation; in others, it constitutes a separate item.
The justification clearly shows why the project is important; what problem you want to solve.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
It is a clear summary of the purposes of the project, the main partners or labor unions, the beneficiaries, as well as the alliances between the various sectors involved in carrying out the project.
It is about twelve lines or one paragraph long.
ACTIVITIES
It is the same as methodology (of work).
It is the sequence of activities to be executed to achieve the objectives, with an estimated time for their completion.
A schedule of activities can be inserted here; however there are those who prefer to place it last.
When describing the activities, be sure to mention the resources necessary for the implementation of the project, including the necessary human, financial and material resources. Resource is not just money.
The activities are your tasks, the project execution plan, and the work schedule.
INDICATORS AND EVALUATION OF PROJECTS
They are measurements used to show the changes in a specific situation, in a given period of time.
They serve to show the progress of the project, the reversal of the indicated problem. Therefore, they are essential instruments for evaluation.
They can be quantitative and qualitative.
Indicators should always specify: the focus group (for whom), quantity (how much), quality (if okay), time (within what period) and geographic area (where).
