Specific
information relating to the files of the Model will be analysed in Section D : The student’s project.
In part
1 : information to be supplied of this Section 2 : Contents information necessary to get a project documentation
started was discussed. This information was on the specific conditions in the
project area in question.
The other sections of the project index (the Model) also need to be carefully
reviewed. In some cases the texts supplied there may be acceptable as they are.
In other cases changes will need to be made to adapt them to local
circumstances. In most cases, this is a question of changing the typical numbers, quantities, and
«values » provided in the Model texts.
The changes are usually systematic.
They are repeated throughout the sequence of documents forming the
Model At he same time, the corrections
need to be made carefully – it is so easy to «jump » intervention
points, even when modern computer technologies are used !
Here
are a few indications.
In
section 1 of the project index (the Model) the following files must in any
case be adapted :
The following
files need to be updated gradually as information for them becomes available,
both during the preparation of the project documentation and during project
execution and, later on, on-going management of the structures.
01.11 Declarations on the
participation of the local populations.
01.12 Declarations of support by civil
society in the country where the project is to take place.
01.13 Declarations of support
by political structures.
01.14 Press articles on the project.
In section
4 of the project index (the Model) the following file must in any
case be adapted :
4.10 Partners and co-donors of the NGO
responsible for the project.
Numeric
changes need to be made to other section 4 files according to the number of
well- and tank-commissions involved in the project.
In
section 5 of the project index (the Model), numeric changes need to be made in
files 05.01 – 05.09 and the names and contact information of the Cooperatives
responsible for execution and on-going management of structures supplied.
In section 5.10 of the project
index (the Model) files 05.11
Initial Environmental Study and
05.17 Environmental Impact
Report need to be completed. The
first one will usually be prepared at the start of phase 2 of the
project ; the second during phase 4.
Files 05.12-05.16 need to be
changed according to numeric indications.
In
section 5.20 of the project index (the Model) the numeric indications in files 05.21
– 05.22 need to be changed.
In
section 5.30 of the project index (the Model) the numeric indications in files
05.31 – 05.37 need to be changed.
In
section 5.40 of the project index (the Model) the numeric indications in files
05.41 – 05.49 need to be changed. File 05.41 The creation of the
drinking water supply structures requires a lot of work, as the results of the research already
carried out under 02.04 List of villages in the project area
(See Contents part 1 : information to
be supplied.)
In
section 5.60 of the project index (the Model) the numeric indications in files
05.61 – 05.69 need to be changed.
In
section 06.00 of the project index (the Model) the numeric indications in files
06.01 – 06.50 need to be changed, and, above all, the number of participants.
Section
7.00 of the project index (the Model) contains the financial files. Files 07.01 – 07.70 need to be
CAREFULLY adjusted to the amounts and quantities in question. Above all,
because of quantity variations, file 07.13 The Excel spreadsheets for the
preparation of the budget (technical documents). This involved the
preparation of a complete series of new graphs. In most cases, there will be
variations in the budget sheet itself as well. New activities will usually be
added. Others may be taken out.
In section 08.00 of the project
index (the Model) a few
numerical indications in files 08.10 – 08.70 will usually need to be
changed.
1. Research.
The application of the Model enables interested parties
to avoid costs relating to feasibility studies, project documentation,
environmental report and the preparation of applications for financial
coverage. Conduct a short research product in your country to analyse the
relationship between the individual cost of each of these activities and the total value of the
projects in question. Present the results of your research on 3 pages. Begin your report with a short introduction. Then
present in turn your research results for feasibility studies, preparation of
the full project documentation, applications for finance, and environmental
reports. In your conclusion, apply the
results of your analysis to the amount foreseen (typically € 5.000.000) for an integrated development project in
your project area.
The first phase of integrated development projects has
no budget coverage. This is the phase where feasibility studies, project
documentations, applications for finance and sometimes initial environmental
reports are prepared. In your research report above, you made a financial
evaluation of these activities when
conducted under traditional projects. Their value is high in relations
to the budget of your integrated development project. It amounts to a dowry of
high value that the local promoters of integrated development projects
contribute free of charge to their project.
2. Opinion.
Suppose a
donor has difficulties understanding this concept when applied to the
integrated development project for your zone.
On one or two pages (maximum 1000 words) try to convince the donor of
the value of your dowry.
