flags off Jagannath Rath YatraTwo Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

(UAV) hovered over the skies of

Ahmedabad as Gujarat Chief

Minister Narendra Modi performed

rituals amid tight security to flag off

the traditional Jagannath Rath

Yatra.

AHMEDABAD: Deployed for the first time to monitor a religious

procession, two Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) hovered over the

skies ofAhmedabad on Wednesday as Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra

Modi performed rituals amid tight security to flag off the traditional

Jagannath Rath Yatra.

would conduct aerial patrolling, monitor the procession and click

digital photographs with the aim of ensuring fool-proof security,officials said. The eye in the sky project of the Gujarat police is

expected to give it a birds eye view for enhanced surveillance.

As per tradition, elephants had a first glimpse of Lord Jagannath and

led the procession that passed through different parts of Ahmedabad

including some sensitive areas of the city to cover a distance of 14

kms.

Modi, who has been anointed as the chief of BJPs Election Campaign

Committee for the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, performed the Pahind

Vidhi (symbolic cleaning of the path for chariot of Lord Jagannath)

after which the procession of Lord Jagannath, Lord Baldev and theirsister Subhadra began. The BJP strongman prayed for a good

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.

Fourteen paramilitary companiesBSF (6), RAF (4), Central Reserve

Police Force (2) and Central Industrial Security Force (2)were

deployed in Ahmedabad to prevent any untoward incidents, officialssaid. Eight teams of Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS)

amid tight security

Bhubaneswar, July 10 : The annual Ratha Yatra (chariot procession) of Lord

Jagannath, his brother Bhalabhadra and sister Subhadra began at Odishas

beach town ofPuri amid tight security Wednesday, officials said.

The ceremonial procession of the deities known as Pahandi - carrying thedeities out ofthe temple to the chariots - started at 9.45 a.m., Laxmidhar

Pujapanda, public relations officer of the temple administration, told Press

persons.

More than 800,000 devotees reached the town, some 55 km from the state

capital Bhubaneswar, by 11.30 a.m. Their numbers could swell to more than

a million by evening, Pujapanda said.

The festival marks the annual journey of the three deities from the 12th

century Jagannath temple in three splendidly decorated wooden chariots,pulled by devotees, to the Gundicha temple, around three km away.

The festival ends nine days later when the deities make their way back hometo the Jagannath temple. The return journey, known as Bahuda Jatra, will be

held July 19.

Devotees from different parts of the country and abroad attend this annual

procession to get a glimpse of the deities, which is considered auspicious.

The chariots are pulled with ropes by devotees amid chanting of hymns.

The state government has made adequate security arrangements to maintain

law and order during the festival. Over 7,000 policemen are deployed across

Puri to prevent any untoward incident, Superintendent of Police Anup KumarSahoo told to press.

It is for the first time that the vehicles of VIPs are not being allowed to reach

close to the temple. Such vehicles have to be parked at a distance, Sahoo

said.

Besides a large number of closed circuit cameras installed at various places,

bomb detection and disposal squads and fire tenders have been deployed to

meet emergencies, the officer added.

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).

Addressing a press conference here

on Tuesday after holding a meetingwith GHMC officials on the building

collapse on RP Road in


11/68


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.


14/68


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.


15/68


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.

Uttarakhand: All stranded

officials at Kedarnath evacuated

July 9, 2013

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

to be in good health.Rain and floods have destroyed the land route to the

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.

Toll in Secunderabad hotel

collapse rises to 16

Hyderabad, July 9 : The toll in a hotel collapse in Secunderabad

Tuesday rose to 16 with the rescuers retrieving three more bodies from

the rubble.

Two of them were workers of the hotel while the third is yet to be identified,

police said. For the second day, the rescue workers continued to look for

survivors under the debris of City Light Hotel. They believe two more people

could still be trapped under the debris.

Officials of Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) said the

clearing of the debris is likely to be completed by Tuesday evening. Rescue

teams from National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and Central Industrial

Security Force (CISF) sifted through the debris looking for survivors.

The two-storey building in Secunderabad, the twin city of Hyderabad,

collapsed early Monday. Thirteen bodies were recovered Monday while 23

injured were shifted to hospital.

GHMC officials said the experts were moving cautiously while clearing debris to

prevent any harm to those who may yet be trapped.

The rescue workers pulled out 20 people from the rubble. The injured were

admitted to Gandhi Hospital, where the condition of two is stated to be critical.

Police have booked hotel owner Hasan Boluki for negligence. Hasans son

Mustafa Boluki died in the mishap.

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.


19/68


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.

Rain drenches Odisha

Bhubaneswar, July 11 : Parts of Odisha have received torrential

rainfall since Wednesday, an official said.

A low pressure area formed over the Bay of Bengal triggering widespread

rain in Odisha since late Wednesday, a Met department official said.

Normal life was disrupted and people were forced to stay indoor after

torrential rains lashed district headquarters town of Koraput, about 500 km

from here. The town received highest rainfall in the state.

The rainfall recorded in this (Koraput) town was 138.5 mm, an official ofthe Bhubaneswar Meteorological Centre told Press Thursday.


20/68

18 HOBBY INDIA Fortnightly15-07-2013

The low pressure area triggered by a cyclonic circulation over Odisha-Andhra Pradesh coast was formed Wednesday over northwest Bay of

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

As a result many places in the state, especially in the southern part,

witnessed widespread rain. Gopalpur town in Ganjam district recorded

80.2 mm of rainfall, the second highest in the state, he said.

The low pressure area has remained stationary and more rain is expected

across the state during the next two days. Some places are likely to witness

heavy to very heavy rains, the official added.

Fishermen venturing into the sea have been advised to remain cautious.

Preneet Kaur visits Tanzania

New Delhi, July 10 : Minister of State for External Affairs of India,

Preneet Kaur, visited Tanzania at the invitation of Bernard K.

Membe (MP), Minister of Foreign Affairs & International

Cooperation of the United Republic of Tanzania on July 8-10.

During her visit she called on President Dr. Jakaya M. Kikwete and held

discussions with Foreign Minister Membe.

The two Ministers Co-Chaired the 8th session of the India-Tanzania Joint

Commission Meeting and presided over its Opening Session on July 8 and

Closing Session on July 9.

In talks with Kikwete, Kaur emphasized continued commitment to forge

stronger and closer ties with Tanzania building upon the excellent traditional

ties with Tanzania which have origin in the pre-independence period.Kikwete reviewed the current level of development partnership between the

two countries including use of Indian lines of credit, grants and capacity

building training programmes in specific areas of Tanzanias growth story,

and exchanged views on regional and international issues of mutual interest.

He mentioned certain new areas where he hoped Tanzania would be able

to use the expertise available in India for its benefit. The Tanzanian

President assured the visiting Indian Minister of his countrys support for

Indias aspiration for a permanent seat in a reformed United Nations

Security Council.

In discussions with the Tanzanian Foreign Minister, the Indian Minister

reviewed the growing commercial, economic and people to people ties and

discussed issues of interest in the regional and global context.

The two sides agreed to strengthen bilateral ties in all fields, including

security and defence, and to resolve remaining outstanding financial

matters. Smt. Preneet Kaur also joined Honble Dr. Abdulla Kigoda,

Tanzanian Minister for Industry and Trade at a business event organized by

the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) in cooperation with the

Confederation of Tanzanian Industry (CTI). The CII had organized the visit

of a multi-sectoral Indian business delegation to Tanzania during the visit of

the Indian Minister, said the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA).

The India-Tanzania Joint Commission deliberated on areas of bilateral

cooperation, including agriculture and rural development, health, education,

small and medium industries, mining and minerals, industrialization, energy,

telecommunications and ICT, tourism and connectivity, water resource

development, cooperation in the areas of women and child development,

sports and youth affairs and development partnership between India and

Tanzania.

Both sides worked towards concrete measures to consolidate and

strengthen the ties in these areas, which have been reflected in the Agreed

Minutes signed by MOS(PK) and the Tanzanian Minister for ForeignAffairs and International Cooperation in Dar es Salaam on July 9.

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


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


40/68


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:


41/68


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,


42/68


43/68


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


44/68


45/68


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


46/68


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).


47/68


48/68


, 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


49/68


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


50/68


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


51/68


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


52/68


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
