Study Guide in NSTP 2 – Understanding The National Service Training Program

Study Guide for Module No. 5


MANAGEMENT OF NSTP COMMUNITY-BASED PROJECTS
In this module, we define project proposal as basis for implementation of the NSTP activities in the
immersion area; apply the process of making effective project proposal based on the identified needs
of the target clientele, and appreciate the value of making effective project proposal in the NSTP
program following the suggested format.
LEARNING CONTENTS (title of the subsection)
An important ingredient to NSTP community immersion is the development of community-based
projects. In managing NSTP projects, the universal management functions as planning, organization,
staffing, directing and controlling be given due consideration to ensure the success of the
implementation of the projects

MAKING PROJECT PROPOSALPROJECT PLANNING

The following procedure will guide the trainees in doing this exercise:
1. Prelude Activity

Based on the different dimension of development such as education, health, safety and
disaster management, environment, morals of citizenry, entrepreneurship, sports and recreation, think
of a project which you plan to do in the community as an offshoot of your activity in community
needs assessment.

2. Activity Proper
a. Using the data provided on the sheet, cut and ready to paste the items as the trainer will
define/discuss the parts of the project proposal.
b. This activity will last for one hour.
c. Trainees will review the format and prepare a draft proposal.
d. Trainees will prepare, refine and finalize proposal based on the identified need (2 1/2
hour)
e. Trainer will evaluate the proposal output before implementing the project.

PROJECT PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION
Project is a time-bound undertaking that is carried out to create a unique service. It combines
and channeled into a temporary structure in order to accomplish a specific goal.
Project development involves a series of continuous, often overlapping phases. This cyclical
process launches with survey of felt needs in the locality that will serve as baseline information in the
formulation of project or a set of projects that may be undertaken in an uninterrupted or staged
manner. As soon as we have identified the project plan, it is prudent that we have an inventory of our
resources. Mobilizing our limited resources ( men , money, materials and moment ) is a fundamental
thing to do. Then implementation comes with regular monitoring to keep track of the development of
the project. Measuring the success of the project as in impact evaluation will serve purpose in
revisiting the plan of action.

PROJECT PLANNING

In the formulation of a project, a planner must take into consideration the needs of the target
clients. In this undertaking, the trainer together with the trainee must assist the community in
identifying, analyzing and prioritizing the needs and concerns they must tackle. People in the
community know more about the program relevant to their needs. Developing them in the course of
planning will motivate them to support the activities. Based on the identified needs, projects must be
made through a proposal to assess its feasibility, contributions, rationale, and basis for funding and
support. This guideline in making a project proposal will facilitate work for the trainees and trainers
in their immersion activities. This will also provide them the proper opportunity to prepare right data
and direction in the implementation of their plans while they will be actually doing their tasks. A
project proposal has several parts in order to complete the needed information as basis of conducting
the project.

WHAT IS PROJECT PROPOSAL?


A project proposal is a guide for both trainees and trainers in attaining tasks while they are in
community immersion. It serve as a basis of designing program of activities and key instruments and
inputs in monitoring and evaluating the projects to be undertaken in the community.

PURPOSE OF MAKING PROJECT PROPOSAL IN THE LIGHT OF NSTP
1. It guides trainees and trainers in designing a program for their clientele.
2. It facilitates implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the projects.
3. It serves as database in making reports as a requirement to the courses.
4. It makes work easier for it serve as reference for trainees’ to give the bright information needed
for the project.
5. It serve as a ready source of data for research work.

THE PARTS OF A PROJECT PROPOSAL FOR NSTP IMMERSION PROJECT


1. The Title.
The title of the project must capture the need and present the name of clientele to be
served. It must be catchy to the readers. It must be written in all capital letter, bold and centered.
2. Project Proponents.
This part enumerates the names of persons to be involved in the project, their
year level (if trainers), rank (if trainers), contact numbers and added or college. If there are several
activities that require several leaders in every undertaking, names must be specified per activity.
3. Implementing Units/Implementers.
It must be noted that in waiting this part of the proposal, capital
letters must be used to differentiate from the project proponents.
4. Project Duration.
Specify days, weeks and months needed to complete the project. Specify when the
project will commence and when it finished. Attach a Gantt chart of activity based on the length of
the project.

5. Length of Implementation.
Two day implementation only. For the First day, around 6-7 hours (three
hours in the morning, for the preparation of the place and lecture. Another four hours in the afternoon
for the distribution/placement of the waste segregation trash bins). For the second day, monitoring
and evaluation of the activity project will be done.
6. Objective of the Project.
The objectives of the project must be written in operational terms on what
you intend to do to solve identified problem related to the project. The characteristics of the
objectives must be specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time bound (SMART). State
properly by using the right verbs that describe what you want to address in relation to the underlying
problems within a certain period of time.
General objectives can be framed as basis of formulating specific objectives of the project.
It must also consider the domain of learning such as the cognitive (knowledge-mind), psychomotor
(skills-body) and affective (values/behavior-heart).

7. Project Description.
The following standards must be observed in writing the project description in facilitating the
drafting of the proposal:

a. Background of the Project


This part requires at least three paragraphs that provide a realistic background of the
project describing the modifying issues/problems that have influenced the identification of the
project. You can identify particular differences or advantages over existing projects or cite issues
in some publication as proofs of underlying problems or realistic serious or of general occurrence.

b. Justification of the project.


Discuss the importance of the prepared project in solving or providing action to help solve
existing problem inherent to the project. Give the expected output of
the project, benefits derived from it, and most probable recipients of the project. It must be written
in 3-5 paragraphs.

c. Benefits derive from project.


This section should reflect the advantages or benefits that the activity will bring about when it
is implemented. If possible, it should mirror outcomes-or the long term results that people will
receive.

d. Coverage.
The area or vicinity covered be the project and the type of clients to be served should
be reflected in the proposal. This gives focus to whom the project is for and the extent of its
implementation.

8. Methodology.
This part cites the activities or strategies that should be undertaken in order to achieve
the objectives of the project. It should describe the general approach of the project, agency
counterpart in case of partnership, responsibilities and obligations, manpower requirement and the
manner on how the specific activity will be undertaken if the project calls for it.

9. Detail Budgetary Requirements.


In preparation of the budget, the budgetary requirement of all
activities must be considered. The amount varies depending on the extent of the project coverage.
For more instances, the bigger project, the larger the budget required. In many cases, budget
depends on the size of expenditures needed. Sources of fund must also be specified.
