Lesson
Let Us Study
You cannot design an effective project proposal without careful planning
and research. In the planning stage the following questions are helpful: Why
are you proposing this project? How will you be doing it? When and where
will it be done? How much will it cost?
Before we discuss further about project proposal, take time out to fill
in the blanks below by writing situations that you think would need a
project proposal.

Characteristics of Proposals
Scot Ober has compiled some of the points to be kept in mind while writing
a proposal. These are as follows:
5
1. Gathering data. One of the characteristics of an effective proposal
is being well-researched. A proposal needs concrete data to back
up its claims so it can become more credible. You can gather data
from primary and secondary sources, and apply the strategies that
you learned in writing a research paper in the previous lessons.
2. Organizing data. A proposal becomes more effective if the
information on it is clearly organized. You can use the parts of the
proposal to guide you in your organization, or use an outline to
structure your discussion more effectively.
3. Writing the proposal. Once you have gathered and organized the
data, draft your proposal by filling out the parts of the proposal
with the relevant data.
4. Revising the proposal. Make sure to review your proposal for
accuracy and organization before you send it out. A good proposal
will be comprehensive and will put your organization in the best
light.
Project proposals are documents that are written for problem solving,
service provision, event planning, or equipment selling. Generally, proposals
are used to convince the reader to do what the proposal suggests, such as
buying goods or services, funding a project, or implementing a program.
Proposals in the professional world are used for internal (within an
organization) and external (from one organization to another) purposes. They
are a way of generating income for companies seeking funds for projects.
Proposals are usually written in response to Requests for Proposal
(RFP), which funding agencies send out. Interested organizations send
proposals following the requirements stipulated in the RFP. Requesting
parties are thus able to compare different responses to a problem. Thus, it is
clear that a proposal provides a plan to satisfy a need.
A proposal stands out depending on its ability to clearly answer
questions about what is being proposed, and how the plan will be carried
out, when it will be implemented, and how much money will be needed or
spent. In other words, proposals are persuasive documents that need to do
the following: highlight reader benefits, prove your credibility in carrying out
the project, and allow the reader to respond easily.
Even in your lives as students, you have been adapted with writing
proposals, may be without even knowing it. Whenever you envision, plan and
complete a project for your class or clubs, you are thinking about fulfilling a
need for something. This process may include writing a paper or doing a
performance in front of an audience to get their approval. While proposal
writing may seem like a daunting task, they can be made easier by following
6
the guidelines in writing and familiarizing yourself with the parts of a project
proposal.
1. Introduction
This portion provides the background necessary for understanding
the project, which is done by discussing the following:
• Rationale - This recognizes the problem to be addressed and
shows the need to solve it.
• Objectives - These reveal what the project intends to achieve in
terms of results. It also gives the reader an idea of the intended
solution. Good objectives are SMART (specific, measurable,
attainable, results oriented and time-bound)
• Benefits - These show what the reader or target audience can
gain from the proposal, which may be improvements in
processes or systems, an increase in revenue, or a change in
behavior of the beneficiaries of the proposal.
2. Project description
This section gives definite information about the project itself. It
indicates how the project will address the identified problem
through the following parts:
7
Sample 1
I. Project Background
Explain what needs/problems you are trying to solve, and
why these needs/problems are worth solving. You may provide a
brief history behind the project.
C. Project Deliverables
Make a list of project deliverables. These are the products,
information, reports, etc. that will be delivered to the client at the
end and throughout the duration of the project.

BUDGET
Most of the learners in many places in our country belong to poor families
and have greater possibility of dropping out in their basic education because of
hunger and malnutrition in school and besides, need to help their parents earn a
living. Furthermore, the health and nutrition of these learners are crucial factors
affecting their academic performance. Hence, our government must address this
immortal education issue once and for all.
For this reason, let us educate the learners the methods of sustainable food
production such as vegetable production and consumption, which are applicable to
their homes and important for household security. Furthermore, this will also teach
them the following:
• improving nutritional status,
• learning where food comes from,
• promoting beautification,
• watershed education,
• producing food,
• stimulating creativity,
• encouraging leadership and service, and
• changing family home food habits.
These livelihood skills that the learners will acquire from the school can also be
applied and replicated in their respective households. Thus, by making foods more
accessible to all schools, which will certainly improve the health and nutritional
status of the learners through this sustainable School Feeding Program, our
government can better ensure their success.
11
b. establish school gardens to serve as the food basket/main source to sustain
supplementary feeding;
c. intensify the product and consumption of vegetables and fruits;
d. showcase small-scale food production models in schools for the
households/community to replicate purposely to promote family and food
security; and
e. inculcate among the school learners the values of good health and nutrition,
industry, love of labor, and caring for others.
The GPP shall be implemented in all public elementary and secondary schools
with ample and limited areas within the municipality of Tagbina using the organic
gardening technologies like bio-intensive gardening. The said schools will be
provided with gardening tools and vegetable seedlings. In line with this program, a
GPP Task Force or Committee will be the one to conduct the advocacy, orientation,
and distribution of materials, monitoring, and evaluation. There must be a
seminar-workshop that will be conducted prior to the distribution of gardening
tools and vegetables seedling to ensure that every thing is in accordance with the
scope of this program and, above all, for effective implementation.
