Planning an ICT Project for Social Change

ICT will remain as a vital part of our everyday lives, today and in the future. It is fast
becoming more and more significant in all aspects of our society. It also empowers people
to share knowledge, address issues and act as a vehicle for raising awareness and social
change, removing the barriers to unity through making ICT projects for social change.
There are many ways to develop an ICT project for social change, however, whether
it is a simple or large project if the objectives and purpose are unclear, with insufficient
support and alignment and there is no proper planning, it is more likely to fail. Therefore, in
creating any project it is important to plan and begin with a concept paper that will explain
the fundamental aspects of the initiative.

Concept Paper
The Concept Paper (for projects) is a document that clarifies and explains the
project’s scope, objectives, targets and timeline in order to determine whether the project is
doable. It is also used to capture the interest and support of the funding agency. Writing a
Concept Paper as part of the planning process is an excellent way to begin an ICT project.

Key Elements of a Concept Paper

According to planet-lean.com, here are the fundamental elements that makes a
Concept Paper.
1. Project Vision
The project vision should explain the purpose and the objectives of the project as
well as the problem to be solved. For instance, your ICT project is creating a
website, mobile app and infographics for mental health awareness campaign, your
project vision should clearly explain why are you raising ICT projects for mental
health and state the relevance of your proposed projects in helping to raise your
awareness campaign. It should contain the necessary information to get started.
2. Project Scope
The project scope will define what the project is and what it is not. The scope
should define the goals and objectives, the exact flow of the activities involved,
the limits, the processes, the areas and functions that must be directly involved,
as well as those that could provide some help and support, should all be defined.
3. Project Targets
This element of the concept paper tells the targets or the performance indicators

2 | Q2 W4
 of the ICT project that will show the level of performance you reached towards
the objectives of your proposed project.
4. Timeline and Milestones
Timeline is the alignment of time that will show the date of activities including
the start and the estimated time of the completion of the ICT Project. On the other
hand, milestone is a symbol that denotes the completion of a set of tasks or the
transition point of the project from one phase to the next.
5. Project Management
At this element, the concept paper details the how the project will be managed,
what are the techniques and methods that will be applied and who are the team
involved.

How do you write your Concept Paper?

Here is the suggested structure or general outline in writing a concept paper.
1. Introduction
The introduction is the part of your Concept Paper where you give a quick
overview of your project and its mission and vision. This is also where you
discuss about your team or the organization you represent, your goal, and how
your project relates to the types of projects supported by your funding agency.
2. Purpose
The purpose explains why this project is worthwhile in terms of time, effort, and
money. What is the significance of the ICT Project? What prompted you to make
this proposal? What is the issue that must be resolved? These are the questions
that needs to be addressed in writing the purpose. You express the purpose of the
project in order to persuade your funding agency and your company that your
ICT project is worth doing.
3. Project Description
The description is where you describe the project. It is also where you discuss the
elements of the concept paper scope, targets, timeline and milestone and the
project management and arrange them in the parts of the description section
below:
• Goals and Objectives – Goal is a statement that describes the outcome you
want to achieve while objectives is a statement that describes measurable
outcome that relate to the goal.
• Methodology and Timeline – Methodology is the activities or the methods
you use in implementing the project within your proposed timeline.

3 | Q2 W4
 • Benefits
The benefits section is where you'll describe the project's influence or
expected outcomes. What will be the benefits, and who will benefit from it?

• Targets
The project targets refer to the performance indicators or criteria that will
help you determine if the project was successful or not.

4. Support
The support is the section of your concept paper where you talk about the budget
needed for the project, including how much it will cost and how it will be spent.
This is also where you discuss the non-monetary support you might need and
encourage your possible funding agency and other groups to support the project.
5. Contact Information
Includes the contact information of your team or the organization where you
belong.

CONCEPT PAPER

Title of the Project: The Mental Health Project

Project Proponent/s: Juan B. Dela Cruz

Introduction
The Mental Health Project is a student organization composed of Senior High School students from
different schools in Tacloban City. It envisions a future where mental health is viewed as a real concern
that needs medical attention just like one’s physical health. It aims to do this by conducting a series of
information dissemination programs. Some of its previous projects include the conduct of seminars and
distribution of posters and pamphlets in several public high schools within the city.

Purpose
According to a survey done by the Philippine WHO Special Initiative for Mental Health in early 2020,
at least 3.6 million Filipinos suffer from one or more mental, neurological, or substance use disorders.
The Department of Health also stated that the ongoing global pandemic has further impacted the mental
health of our older adults, healthcare workers, and people with underlying health concerns.

However, only a small percentage of these people receive treatment, most often due to the stigma
attached to mental health. Luna Greenstein of the National Alliance for Mental Illness stated that in
order to fight the stigma on mental health, people should be talking about the subject openly and that
we should educate ourselves and others It is for this reason that this project was developed.

The main purpose of this project is to enhance the mental health awareness of Filipinos by creating and
promoting a website whose contents will be in the Filipino language. With the content written in the
country’s national language, the proponent believes that it will result in a stronger following from
Filipinos regardless of age, gender, or social status. With more Filipinos gaining more knowledge about
mental health, it will eventually lead to a more open communication about the topic.

Project Description

Goals and Objectives

The main goal of this project is to lessen the stigma on mental health. More specifically, this project
plans to achieve its goal by creating, promoting, and evaluating a website dedicated solely to mental
health awareness whose content are written in the Filipino language.

Methodology and Timeline

The project will be implementing the website development process in creating the website. It will start
with wireframing, followed by designing the interface, then content creation which will include blog
posts, videos, images, and/or testimonials. Once the first set of content are ready, making the website
functional will be the next priority, followed immediately by testing and refinement. After everything
is finalized, promotion and monitoring shall follow.

The wireframing and interface design will take 1 month to finish. Content creation will take 2 months
but will be conducted in parallel to interface design. Actual coding, testing, and refinement will take
another 2 months. Promotion on the other hand will be done in 2 weeks and monitoring will be
conducted on a regular basis.

Benefits
This project will benefit all Filipinos by helping them become more aware about mental health, making
them talk about the subject more, which could eventually lead to the elimination of the negative
perceptions related to it.

Targets
The project will be evaluated by measuring its overall traffic, organic traffic, and its visitors’ average
time on site. These metrics will be compared to a standard set of values to determine the project’s
effectiveness.

Support
The estimated budget needed for the project 20,000 pesos. The first 10,000 pesos will be used for
content creation and the rest of the budget will be used for the development of the actual website. The
project will also be soliciting testimonials from people who have battled or are still battling some sort
of mental illness.
