monsoon for farmers and for peace, brotherhood and growth in the
country after pulling out the chariot of Lord Jagannath from the
temple.
Saying he was fortunate to repeatedly get a chance to bow at the
feet of the deity to seek his blessings, Modi said, All of us should
pray to Lord Jagannath that this nation should move ahead towards
peace, sadhbhavna (goodwill), unity, delight and prosperity.
The monsoon season has begun and with the blessings of Lord
Jagannath, I pray that the entire country receives a good rainfall so
that our farmers, villages and the poor can benefit, he added.
According to a temple trustee, Modi performed the traditional
Pahind Vidhi ceremony for a record 12th time. In addition to the
UAVs, 20 Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras have been
installed at various places.

State cool to NDMA pleafor land for NDRF
National Disaster Management Authority vice-chairman M Sashidhar Reddy
(right) holding a meeting with municipal commissioner MT Krishna Babu and
other officials in Hyderabad on Tuesday on disaster management measures
H I News Service Hyderabad :
State governments, including Andhra
Pradesh, are showing indifference to
disaster management, National
Disaster Management Authority vice-
chairman Marri Sashidhar Reddy has
said.The NDMA wants the states to
be more proactive on disaster
management and there is a every
need to appoint full-time vice-
chairpersons for State Disaster
Management Authority (SDMA) and
raising State Disaster Response
Force (SDRF).

Secunderabad, Sashidhar Reddy said that the responsibility of respond to
any disaster lay with the state and SDMA should function effectively to deal
with disasters. States were asked to appoint full-time vice-chairpersons to
disaster management authorities in their jurisdiction. Though the chief
minister of a state is the head of SDMA and other ministers are its
members, they are not functioning effectively in the absence of vice-
chairmen, he said and urged chief minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy to
appoint a full-time vice-chairman to the SDMA in the state.
Sashidhar Reddy said the state government also failed to raise SDRF for
responding to any disaster like chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear
(CBRN).
Though we have been insisting on this for long, the response is poor.
SDRF can be raised by drafting the staff from different wings. Funds are
available from the NDMA to SDRF for dealing with natural disasters. In
view of the recent Uttarakhand tragedy, all chief ministers should realise that
the disaster management architecture of any state needed to be geared up,
he said. NDMA had sought land more than 15 months ago to house two
battalions of NDRF in Hyderabad to attend to disaster emergencies but the
chief minister failed to do the needful, he said. In the next 20 to 25 years
(2030-2035), another 70 percent of new buildings are expected to come in
the state mostly in Hyderabad, so there is need to have structural safety rule
in place to deal with building collapses.
The Centre will introduce two bills in Parliament Real Estate Bills and
Engineers Bill on structural safety of buildings.
On Uttarkahand, he said at least 4,000 persons were missing but an NGO,
Sphere India, put the figure at 11,600. As people started filing FIRs, we
can know the figures of the missing persons soon. Still, 81 persons from
Andhra Pradesh are missing, he added.

Not only did UttarPradesh rush a medical
team, it also set up relief
centres in three places
and asked the Moradabad
divisional commissioner
to oversee the relief
operations on the
borders with Uttarakhand. The chief minister promptly sanctioned
Rs.25 crore, the highest by any state government across India, to help
Uttarakhand, where over one lakh pilgrims and tourists were stranded
on the route of the Char Dham Yatra.
Then, in an extraordinary step that took many by surprise, Akhilesh
Yadav directed his officials to immediately release, in one single
installment, the Rs.350 crore which had been pending for four years
over payment of pension to state government employees who were
part of Uttar Pradesh when Uttarakhand was carved out in 2000.
The funds were a bone of contention between the two states for a
decade. Even after reaching a consensus on the amount to be paid to
Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh had been sitting pretty since 2009.

The decision to release Rs.350 crore not only showedcompassion but also statesmanship, one official here pointed out.
The chief minister marshalled his party legislators, cabinet
colleagues and leaders of the Samajwadi Party to give Rs.10 lakh
each from their respective constituency development funds and
Rs.50,000 each of their own money.
The ministers were told to donate Rs.1 lakh each. The chief
minister himself donated a months salary to the Uttarakhand
relief fund. Strangely enough, no one seems to know how much
this is.

This is exemplary leadership in times of crisis and Akhilesh Yadav
has led by example, Prisons Minister and SP spokesman Rajendra
Chowdhary told Press.
In the past 10 days, more than Rs.4 crore has been deposited in the
Chief Ministers Relief Fund, with the Lucknow police,
government officials, the UP Electronics Corp and others also
chipping in with funds.
Uttar Pradesh has also sent 15 doctors and a fleet of 45 buses to
ferry people out of Uttarakhand.
The Bharatiya Janata Party has donated Rs.55 lakh and relief
material while senior Congress leader Pramod Tiwari has donated
13 months of his salary for the relief operations.
Samajwadi Party legislator from Etah Rameshwar Singh Yadav
alone collected Rs.1 crore from his constituency.
Uttarakhand officials acknowledge the largesse of Uttar Pradesh.
For almost a decade, we have viewed Utar Pradesh as a powerful
big brother throwing its weight around. But during this tragedy, theperception has changed, said a senior official overseeing the relief
and rehabilitation process in Uttarakhand.

All officials and workers stranded at the Kedarnath shrine in flood-ravaged
Uttarakhand, were airlifted this morning, as rescue efforts resumed
todayafter days of incessant rain The officials, over 70 in number, are said

holy Kedarnath valley, located at nearly 12,000 feet, leaving only the air
route open since June 16. Officials and workers had been stranded in
Kedarnath for the past five days as bad weather and constant rain
prevented chopper flights. But air sorties resumed today as the clear
weather offered a small window.The officials, along with security forces,
had been trying to clear the valley left completely devastated after flash
floods claimed over 1,000 lives, left thousands homeless and destroyed
villages and towns. The rain has also hampered relief efforts. Villagers have
been forced to trek through the battered terrain to carry food supplies to
remote areas.More than 4,500 are still reported to be missing in the
disaster described as the Himalayan tsunami due to the sheer scale ofdevastation.

Amid prayer and penance,
Ramadan begins in Kashmir
Srinagar, July 11 : The holy month of Ramadan started here
Thursday as Muslims thronged mosques for morning prayers after
beginning their day-long fast.
According to Muslim faith, Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic
calendar, represents the 30-day period of fasting during which those who
engage in prayer and penance are pardoned by Allah.
In summer capital Srinagar, all the eateries including hotels, restaurants, tea-
stalls and dhabas remained closed since morning and markets and streets
witnessed less traffic movement.
Locals engaged in hectic buying of fruits, juices, foodstuffs Wednesday to
stock for the holy month during which Muslims find less time for shopping
due to religious engagements.
The most sought after fruit in the markets Thursday are dates which come
here from different parts of the country and also the Middle East.
Due to middle class affluence, which is a relatively recent phenomenon in
Kashmir, many people are buying dates from Saudi Arabia, fruit juices and
jams from multi-national companies and even the imported brands.
I have bought black berry jam, Saudi dates and some fruit juices and milk
creams for the family. These things are needed at Iftaar time when the
day-long fast is broken, said a shopper at one of Srinagars high enddepartmental stores.

Even the less privileged locals spend comparatively more during this month toprovide nourishment to their families.
One has to spend a little more during this month on fruits, juices and
foodstuffs. After all, one has to ensure that food is healthy and tasty to sustain
the long fasting hours, said Feroze Ahmad, 45, a resident of Srinagar.
As Ramadan started here Thursday the fasting period is around 16 hours. The
Sehrai (Dawn eating time before the fast is begun) ended at 3.46 a.m.
Thursday and the fast will be broken at 7.48 p.m.
The Muslim calendar advances by 10 days every year in comparison to the
Christian calendar which remains unchanged.
It is because of this difference that the Holy month of Ramadan falls some
years in the colder winter months and some years in the hotter summer months.
Ramadan which began here July 11 this year will begin around July 1 next year.

Bengal and adjoining coastal belt of Odisha, the official added.

witnessed widespread rain. Gopalpur town in Ganjam district recorded

Shimla to have ropeway
to tackle heavy traffic
Shimla, July 9 : To overcome Shimlas chronic problem of
traffic congestion, the Himachal Pradesh government has
decided to go for a multi-million ropeway project, an official
said here Tuesday.
A Rs.250-crore aerial ropeway project connecting Shimlas inter-
state bus terminus at Tutikandi with the Mall road, the famous
strolling street, will be built under the public-private partnership
(PPP) mode, a government spokesperson told Press . He said
Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh gave approval to the project at a
meeting of the Himachal Pradesh Infrastructure Development
Board here Monday.
The spokesperson said the ropeway would help reduce traffic
congestion in the town. He said the three-km ropeway would carryaround 1,500-2,000 people per hour each way and the one-side
travel time would be around 10 minutes.Officials said the chief
minister also gave the nod to link Aadi Himani Chamunda temple in
the Dhauladhar mountain range in Kangra district with a ropeway.
This would help the pilgrims to visit the ancient hilltop shrine,
which can be reached only through an uphill trek of about 16 km
from the famous shrine of Chamunda Devi near Dharamsala town,
some 250 km from here.

between Dholpur and Sir Mathura. The two-feet-six-inches wide track willbe converted into a broad gauge. As the train chugs into history, area
residents have been filled with nostalgia. A senior scribe from the area, Rajiv
Saxena, said he would miss the slow-moving train.
The romance of this adventure trail will now be over, Saxena told Press.
Rao Narendra Singh from the royal family of Sri Mathura said: Its slow like
a snail, you can get off and climb back and its fun to be on the roof of this
strange mode of transport.
In the late 1950s we used to catch this train from Sri Mathura, later it
became Sir Mathura, to reach Dholpur.
The British who wanted to shift the capital from Calcutta to Delhi
intelligently planned the railway network in this area to ferry the famous
Dholpur stone used for construction of the official buildings in New Delhi,
recalled Rao Narendra Singh. The narrow gauge train literally inches
forward through a rough terrain, the dry and barren stone quarries from
Dholpur via Bari, to Sir Mathura and Tantpur.
Officials said the route, after the gauge conversion, will now be extended to
Gangapur city to connect Dholpur to the Delhi-Mumbai trunk route. In
February, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot laid the foundation-stone
for the Rs.2,000-crore project at Sir Mathura.
In the olden days, the narrow railway line was till the gate of the then
upcoming building of Rashtrapati Bhavan by the British to ferry Dholpur
stone.
My grandfather Rao Ranjit Singh, who opposed the railway line to Sir
Mathura to challenge British imperialism, was declared insane and removed.
He died a loner several years later, Rao Narendra Singh told IANS.

In the British era the whole region was picturesque, with patches of greenand the wildlife was in abundance. The British used to shoot deer, black
bucks, chinkaras at will. One station master travelling in the engine shot a
deer for a grand dinner. I remember the scion of the local royal family once
decided to race with the narrow gauge engine on a horse. Obviously, he
won, recalled Narendra Singh.
Singh said the narrow gauge line to Sir Mathura lost its utility and relevance
when the truckers invaded the area for stones But if the government has
now decided to convert the line into a broad gauge network and connect it
with Gangapur city via Karauli, it could open up the gates for development,
he said. The track could afford a breathtaking view of the Timangarh
Fort on the way to the famous shrine at Karauli, touching the fringe of the
notorious bandit-land of Bhind and Morena along the Chambal river.Some
officials believe the new broad gauge line could also attract more tourists to
the Timangarh Fort, situated at a desolate location near Masalpur sub-tehsil
headquarters, about 40 km from Karauli.
Temples located inside the fort complex sport beautiful carvings on the
temples, both religious and geometrical, and are a striking proof of the
exquisite workmanship of highly skilled artisans that once operated in this
region. While the Mughal rulers used the Fatehpur Sikri stone for many of
their buildings, the British chose the Dholpur stone, which is considered
sturdier and compatible for carvings. The Dholpur-Sir Mathura narrow
guage line is one of the dozen such relics of the past left now covering
around 2,400 km of the more than 114,000-km-long rail network in the
country.
The famous existing toy trains are in Darjeeling Himalayan Railways in West
Bengal, the Matheran Hill Railway in Maharashtra, the Kalka-Shimlaheritage toy train in Himachal Pradesh and the Nilgiri Mountain Railway in
Tamil Nadu.

1. Introduction:
A proposal is a request for
financial assistance to implement
a project. For a community project,
it may be used to seek approval
from the community members (the
community itself being the most
important donor). You may use
these guidelines to seek project
funding from any donor. We
recommend that you aim formultiple sources of funding. If you
have only one source of funding,
you may become dependent upon
that one source.
A proposal is not just a shopping
list of things you want. A
proposal must justify each item in
the list of things you want, so that
a donor agency can decide if it
wants to provide some or all ofthose things. You must know (and
be able to communicate) exactly
How to get money out of donor organizations?
PROPOSALS FOR FUNDING
A Model Document
NGO-info
what you want to do with thesethings, and that is why you should
design a project to carry out what
you want to achieve.
It is important to carefully
formulate and design your
project. It is equally important to
write a proposal which will attract
the necessary funding. Proposal
writing is a skill which requires
some knowledge and practice.
Your project proposal should be
an honest sales document. Its
job is to inform and to convince. It
is not a place to preach, boast or
to deceive. If you are convinced it
is a good idea and should be
supported, your project proposal
should honestly report it to
decision makers who weigh its
merits against other donationcommitments. It should clearly
indicate how and when the
7/28/2019 Hobby India Fortnightly=15-07-2013 Issue.
39/68
37 HOBBY INDIA Fortnightly15-07-2013
project will end, or become selfsupporting. Proposals should be
neat and tidy, preferably
typewritten, and without any
extraneous or unnecessary
information.
How elaborate your proposal is
should depend upon the amount
of resources being requested and
how big the total project is.
Modify these guidelines to fit theproject and proposed donor.
The project proposal must reflect
the background work you have
already done and should be
logically set out. It is not enough
to write a letter stating your
request. You have to demonstrate
the need and prove that the
project is worthy of funding.
Remember that there will bemany other organizations and
individuals competing for the
funds.
Use clear concise and simple
language which says exactly what
is meant. If necessary use
diagrams or charts to illustrate
key points. Use appendices to
avoid crowding the body of the
proposal and the flow of the
narrative. Tailor your presentation
to the agency approached.
Express a willingness to beinterviewed personally by the
funding agency once they receive
and read your proposal request.
And, especially . . .
Do not be discouraged if your
proposal is not accepted. Find out
why, and try another agency.
2. Plan Your Project (PracticalVision):
Perhaps you and your associates
have many ideas of things you
want to do; you see a need to
reduce illiteracy, to reduce
poverty, to provide safe drinking
water, to improve the level of
health, to provide training for
disabled persons, and many other
things. You must, however,choose a project that is very
specific, limit your goal to a
single desired solution to the
highest priority problem.
Involve the whole community. In
choosing your project, call a
meeting and do not neglect to
include the people who have been
often neglected in the past,
women, disabled, the very poor,those who have no voice in the
way things are decided in the
7/28/2019 Hobby India Fortnightly=15-07-2013 Issue.
40/68
3815-07-2013 HOBBY INDIA Fortnightly
community. Make sure that thepeople who are supposed to
benefiting your project feel that
this is their project, for their
benefit, and that they may
contribute to it because it is
theirs.
It is not enough, however, to
choose your goal. Good planning
is needed, identifying your
available or potential resources,generating several strategies and
choosing the most viable one,
deciding how you are going to
monitor (watch) the project to
ensure that it stays on track (ie it
continues to be consistent with
your original desires) , ensuring
that the accounting is both
transparent and accurate, and
deciding what is to be done when
(a schedule) . A bit of research
about the location, the population
characteristics, the situation, the
existing facilities, is needed in
order to objectively describe the
background to the project.
Involving the community and the
beneficiaries in this research is
the best way to ensure that it is
valid.
With the community or target
group, use Brainstorming
Principles and Procedures tooutline a Plan or Project Design.
Without allowing criticism, ask
group members to contribute to
each step of a brainstorming
group process: what is the priority
problem (list all, even the foolish
statements; then rank them in
order of priority) , facilitate the
group to understand, therefore,
that the goal is the solution to
that identified problem. Helpthem to generate objectives
(finite, verifiable, specific) from
that general goal. Identify
resources and constraints, then
generate several alternative
solutions, choosing the most
viable. Other documents are
available to explain the
brainstorming process in more
detail but this was a brief sketch.
With your background work
behind you, you will want to start
drafting your proposal. We highly
recommend that you obtain
resources (funds) from several
sources. Do not let your
organization or group become
dependent upon a single donor.
Before you begin to write your
proposal, keep in mind the
following points:
7/28/2019 Hobby India Fortnightly=15-07-2013 Issue.
41/68
3915-07-2013 HOBBY INDIA Fortnightly
It is necessary to find out inadvance what sources of funding
are available, through
governments, United Nations
agencies, some international
NGOs or private foundations.
Most donors look for the
degree of local initiative in the
project proposal, the utilization of
the available resources within the
country itself and the plans forthe project to be self-supporting
once the initial funding has been
spent.
Your project should be
practical, not too costly, and have
the potential for being repeated
in other situations.
Increasingly, funding agencies
are looking for integratedapproaches to development
projects. This means that you will
want to see to what extent your
project supports and supplements
existing activities, and is
designed to overcome identified
problems.
Almost all UN and government
agencies, foundations and private
voluntary agencies have their
own proposal format, that they
will want you to follow. If you are
not in contact with a local orregional representative, write a
letter requesting information as
to proper procedures, application
format and funding requirements.
While format varies, the same
information is asked for by all
agencies and foundations.
Find out the budgeting cycle
of the agency, whether annual,
quarterly or ongoing. Check to seeif there is a closing date for
application.
3. Project Structure (Outline of
Your Proposal):
These (structure) guidelines are
not intended to tell you what to
write, but rather how to write the
proposal. If you are responsible
for writing the proposal, then it isbecause you are the expert (in
the best sense of the word). If you
are responsible, then you know
what you want to achieve and the
best way to achieve it. In any
event, dont panic at the prospect
and dont be put off by the
technical jargon that
unfortunately is frequently used.
Do not try to write the proposal byyourself. Ask for help from your
friends and colleagues,
7/28/2019 Hobby India Fortnightly=15-07-2013 Issue.

7/28/2019 Hobby India Fortnightly=15-07-2013 Issue.
43/68
4115-07-2013 HOBBY INDIA Fortnightly
which the problem has beensolved by the other actors, and
what has been so far
accomplished by your group.
While examining the problem(s)
to be addressed, several
questions should arise here.
What is the condition of the
target group to justify the donor
donating money and perhaps
seconded staff? A history of thecommunity, your group, or the
project is not essential, but a
brief outline can be useful. More
importantly, what conditions, or
what changes in conditions, are
envisaged that would lead to any
donor agreeing to fund your
project?
You may wish to include:
Project area (Issues and
problems, not descriptions);
Reasons for making this
proposal;
Circumstances leading up to
the project; and
Broader plans or strategies of
which it is a part.
If yours is a project that is notstarting fresh, the background will
also indicate any changes in your
project since it began.
Remember that the background
chapter describes the factors
leading to the problem that your
project intends to solve.
Everything in this section should
be justification to approve the
project and the requested fundingassistance. Long histories and
analyses would be detrimental
here.
6. Goals & Objectives (Solution =
Output):
The goal of your project should be
to solve the problem or problems
described in the background.
Goals and objectives must relateto the previous chapter, by stating
what is the solution to those
above problems. You need a set of
(general) goals, and sets of
(specific) objectives.
Start with goals which are
general, long term, broad desires.
From those goals generate
specific objectives which are
verifiable, measurable, finite, and
have specific dates of
7/28/2019 Hobby India Fortnightly=15-07-2013 Issue.

7/28/2019 Hobby India Fortnightly=15-07-2013 Issue.
45/68
15-07-2013 HOBBY INDIA Fortnightly43
This chapter identifies the inputsin your project, ie what resources
(cash, personnel and actions) will
be put into your project.
First, start with examining
possible strategies to reach the
objectives mentioned above. In
each case you have to link with
the previous chapter. The best
project proposal lists two, three
or four different strategies anddiscards or rejects all but one of
these, and says why. Then it goes
on to say, Given the objectives
and strategies, what activities
must be implemented or started
to use that strategy and reach the
objectives?
Target means, How much, to
whom, where and by whom? In
other words, Who does what?
For example, what kind of training
will you provide, for how long,
and how many people will be
involved? What specific skills will
be taught and what kind of follow
up activities are planned?
Indicate what kinds of jobs are
being done in the project. Refer
to your appendix for key job
descriptions. Always refer those
activities to how they will achieve
the objectives mentioned above.Even the activities of the support
staff must be justified in that they
must be employed so as to allow
the operational staff to reach their
targets.
9. The Schedule (Each Action
When):
In this section you describe in
sequence the activities you planin order to achieve your
objectives.
If you can be so specific as to give
dates, even if approximate, all the
better. You may wish to use a
diagram or bar chart to mark out
the calendar events.
Include in the work plan the
phasing of the project; how onestage of the project leads to the
next.
How long will support be needed?
(When will the project end, or
when will the project be locally
self supporting? )
10. The Organization (Profile):
This section describes the
(perhaps changing) organization
7/28/2019 Hobby India Fortnightly=15-07-2013 Issue.
46/68
4415-07-2013 HOBBY INDIA Fortnightly
and management structureneeded to carry out the activities
described above. The O in
CBO. Diagrams are very useful
in this.
Describe briefly your
organizations goals and
activities. Be specific about its
experience in working with
problems of a similar nature, what
its capabilities and resources arein undertaking a project of this
nature.
The abilities and experience of
your organizations members, your
human resources, may well be
your greatest asset. Indicate the
kind of assistance your
organization expects to receive
from possible collaborating
agencies. Attach additionalorganizational information, such
as an annual report, if available.
Explain:
How will it be done?
Who is responsible for the
project?
Who will implement (who willdo it)? and
Who will direct theimplementation of the project?
Who runs the project? Who is in
charge of the overall
organization? Who is responsible
for its overall implementation (in
contrast with responsibility for its
design and its monitoring, and in
contrast with the separate actors,
separate agencies, and separate
locations) ? Will that change?These can be spelled out in the
proposal. See Organizing
byTraining for participatory
methods of developing the
organization.
Do not overlook the activities
(labour) of volunteers who
contribute to the project.
Although they might not be paid
staff, they are resources, andcontribute resources to the
project.
11. Costs & Benefits (Analysis):
In a proposal, the chapter called
costs and benefits is not the
same thing as a line by line
budget with numbers indicating
amounts of money. (The line by
line budget should be put as anappendix at the end of the
document, not in the text).
7/28/2019 Hobby India Fortnightly=15-07-2013 Issue.
47/68
7/28/2019 Hobby India Fortnightly=15-07-2013 Issue.
48/68
4615-07-2013 HOBBY INDIA Fortnightly
, then some arbitrary butreasonable division of per unit
cost must be calculated.
The budget totals should be
indicated in this section, then
refer to appendix for the detailed
budget. Other sources (donors
and the amounts) must be
mentioned. The total amount
requested should appear here in
narrative text.
12. Monitoring (Observing):
Monitoring should be done by:
the affected community,
represented by the local
committee;
Your agency or organization
(specify who in it) ; and
Your donors.
How will achievements be
measured?
How will they be verified?
Monitoring and follow-up should
be built into the project activities.
Part should be continuous selfevaluation by you (the
implementing agency).
The monitoring and receiving ofreports from the project to the
donor must be worked out and put
into your project proposal. The
monthly reports should be
designed and reviewed as to
usefulness to the donor for its
ongoing planning and
programming for the whole
country.
One thing is for sure; there shouldbe emphasis in reporting the
results, or outputs, ie the effects
of the project on the target group
or beneficiaries. There is no harm
in also reporting activities if the
reports are brief. The reporting of
achieved results, as compared to
planned objectives as defined in
your project proposal, is
essential.
See Monitoring
13. Reporting (Communicating
the Observations):
In any agency-funded project,
accounting and accountability are
very important. This applies to
most donor agencies, UN,
governmental or NGO.
In your proposal, your reporting
procedures should describe: how
7/28/2019 Hobby India Fortnightly=15-07-2013 Issue.
49/68
4715-07-2013 HOBBY INDIA Fortnightly
often, to whom, including what?You may want to discuss this with
the prospective funding agency
since reporting and evaluation
requirements vary among
agencies, and are dependent upon
type of project.
Evaluating your own project while
it is under way will help you and
your donors see your progress and
accomplishments and the choicesavailable for future action. Careful
reporting of your project in
progress is an invaluable resource
for others who attempt projects of
a similar nature.
Your proposal should indicate
what reports will be submitted.
These include regular ongoing
reports, and a final report. Short,
frequent reports (eg weekly
sitreps) may include only events
and activities. Longer reports
should indicate the results of the
project activities (not just
activities) , an evaluation or
assessment of how far the
objectives were reached, reasons
why they were not, and the impact
or effect on the beneficiaries
(target group) .
Reports should be prepared andsubmitted optimally every month.
The proposal should indicate what
reports are to be submitted andwith what frequency and content.
Each project (if your group is
proposing more than one project)
requires a separate report (two or
three pages of text plus needed
appendices).
A detailed monthly narrative
report should include how far
each of the intended objectives
has been reached, what were thereasons they were not fully
reached, and suggestions and
reasons about changing the
objectives if they were found to
need changing. The narrative
report can include information
about events and inputs (what
actions were undertaken, see
below) , but should emphasize
outputs (the results of those
actions in so much as they lead to
achieving the stated objectives) .
Attention should be paid to the
number and location of
beneficiaries. The monthly report
would best be organized into
sections corresponding to the
sections of your proposal.
A detailed monthly financial
report should include what
moneys were received and from
where, what moneys were
7/28/2019 Hobby India Fortnightly=15-07-2013 Issue.
50/68
4815-07-2013 HOBBY INDIA Fortnightly
expended, listed line by line
according to the budget
categories in the proposal,
reasons for over- or under-
spending, and an assessment of
how well the expenditures
contributed to reaching the stated
objectives of the project.
The final report should include the
same topics as the monthly
reports, plus a section calledLessons Learned, and a section
indicating the impact of the
project on the target community
and surrounding areas. The report
should be concise (brief but
complete).
The reports should be honestly
self critical and analytical. See the
module on Report Writing.
The same principles and
guidelines for narrative reports
should apply to the financial
reports. The monthly budget
outcomes of the project are as
important to programming as the
statements are to the accounting.
Explanations of deviations from
planned expenditures should
accompany the budget outcomes.
14. Appendices (Attachments):
The text of your proposal shouldbe a single, brief yet complete
argument from beginning to end
% easy to read. Because many
important details will make the
text too convoluted and difficult
to read, they should be put into
appendixes at the end.
Typical of documents to put in
appendices are:
lists;
diagrams;
detailed budget;
job descriptions; and
any other necessary detailed
documents.
When you have written your first
draft of the project proposal, gothrough it and look for any
descriptions of details in your
text that may draw the reader
away from the smooth flow of the
argument. Move them to an
appendix, and in their place put a
brief note about them and ask the
reader to look in the appendix for
the details.
Now read the document again.With those details tucked away in
an appendix, does the flow of
7/28/2019 Hobby India Fortnightly=15-07-2013 Issue.
51/68
4915-07-2013 HOBBY INDIA Fortnightly
argument become smoother, yetnot weakened by their absence in
the text? Yes? Good! Youve just
found another way to make use of
the appendices.
Appendices can include any other
material that will allow officers of
donor agencies to decide whether
or not to approve funds. The
purpose of the appendices is to
be able to include all thenecessary and important details
(which the meticulous reader will
examine) , but not in the text of
your document where you want a
smooth flowing, brief argument. It
tucks those details away for use
when wanted.
15. Detailed Budget:
The line-by-line budget should beput in an appendix. Each line on
your detailed budget should have
the total costs for one budget
category. The lines should be
grouped into similar kinds of
costs (eg salaries, vehicles,
communications, fuels,
transport).
If you can, distinguish between
non expendable items (ieequipment that can be used again
later) and expendable (ie suppliesthat get used up).
The budget should be a realistic
estimate of all costs involved in
implementing and operating the
project. If possible demonstrate
the potential for eventual self
support, or support from other
resources other than the one to
which you are applying. Costs
estimates should be broken downin to logical categories (line
items) such as: salaries; supplies
and materials; equipment; travel
and per diem; rent; telephone.
Voluntary contributions made to
the project by you and members
of your organization should be
listed and estimated as closely as
possible in cash terms, or shown
as no charge. Specify physical
facilities that are available or, are
to be made available for the
project. Specify your
organizations existing equipment
and supplies that will be used for
this project. Include any other
inputs to be used for this project
from government or from other
organizations.
Often, funding agencies prefer to
match grants, or assist with part
7/28/2019 Hobby India Fortnightly=15-07-2013 Issue.
52/68
5015-07-2013 HOBBY INDIA Fortnightly
of the total budget rather thangive the entire sum. Therefore it
is suggested that you show the
total budget when applying, and
indicate when you expect or hope
to get other funding assistance.
16. Abstract (Executive
Summary):
Write this part last. This is the
section on which a potentialdonor will read and make that
vital preliminary decision:
whether or not to seriously
consider assisting.
This should not be written, or
even contemplated, until all
above sections are written. Avoid
writing it as an introduction. Think
of it as a concise summary and
conclusion.
The optimum size is half a page;
the absolute maximum size is one
page. Any longer and it is in
danger of not being read or
considered. It should summarize
only the key recommendations
and be written for busy board
members or executives who may
read up to fifty of them and may
not initially read anything morethan the executive summary for
each proposed project.
Ironically, while you write theabstract last, you then put it
directly after the front or title
page of your proposal. and when
you finish writing it: . . .
Now that you have written your
draft proposal, hand it around for
comments and suggestions. View
the proposal critically and be
prepared to do some rewriting
and rethinking if necessary.
17. Some Final Guidelines
Comments:
The most likely projects to be
funded will be rapid, sustainable,
small scale, low budget
interventions for the most
pressing needs identified by the
communities.
Often proposals will be evaluated
as to how they will contribute to
wider, integrated sustainable
development of the geographical
area.
Active participation of women in
identification, implementation
and monitoring of a proposed
project should be encouraged.
The proposal should clearlydescribe the number of women
involved in project design and
