CWTS Project Proposal
CWTS Project Proposal
II.) PROPONENTS (Organization that proposes a project for acceptance. Ex. BSCOE 1-1 and
relation to the project)
III.) PROPOSED DATE AND TIME (When will we start and finish said project)
VII.) OBJECTIVES (Atleast Three – The project objective describes the project’s outcomes:
intended and direct, short- and medium-term effects on the target group. The project
objective must lie within the scope of the project. Is the action or solution to the rationale.\
A.TOPIC
Your topic must be important and contribute significantly in either knowledge or impact.
The first question a donor will ask when reading a proposal is “what is new about what
you are going to do? who will be better off, and in what way, as a result of what you
propose to do?
Research and extension projects need to be integrated with local programs, which in turn,
should be linked with the national agriculture development plan. Look for a topic that fits
with the goals and objectives of the donor. Your topic should also be attuned to the likes or
dislikes of your supervisor.
Your project should meet the needs of your intended beneficiaries. You need to ask them
what they want. Document their replies to strengthen your proposal. Include them in your
design team.
4. Select a manageable topic
Here are some questions you need to discuss in your design group.
Project Duration: How long will this project take? Can it show results (output and
impacts) within a typical project lifetime? If it is going to take longer, can it be phased so
that outputs and impacts can be demonstrated in a first phase between two to four
years?
Project Size: Is this project going to be cheap or expensive relative to other projects in your
organization? Will it need a big budget more than what the agency is willing to fund? How
many partners will be needed to implement the project?
Project Sites: How many places will you need for the project? Before going to a multi-site
project, should you consider a pilot in just one, or perhaps two sites? Are these sites easy to
reach?
Other Practical Considerations: Do you need the permission or involvement of local
officials? Have you consulted them about doing the project in their areas? Are they included
in the design team? Will you include them as partners?
Donors look at projects which have low risks and high returns in a short or medium term.
They will ask two questions? How likely is this project to succeed? If it does succeed,
what sort of impact is it likely to achieve?

in the project. Example Technical Committee etc.
