for, and the basic elements of, the proposal.

1.2 Statement of the Problem

Problem statement provides a clear and concise description of the issues that need to be
addressed.it asks (what is the specific problem in that project area that you will address?)

1.3 Objective
1.3.1 General Objective

General objective provides a goal to solve the problems that you listed on the statement of the
problem (section 1.2). (Should be related with your title).must be clear and short

1.3.2 Specific Objectives

List of goals that helps to achieve the proposed project.

1.4 Benefit and Beneficiary

2. LITERATURE REVIEW

This section will have some anther sub_topic under it, but generally, it provides a summary of
previous related project on the project problems and their strength and weakness and a
justification of your project. (What is known/what have been done by others? and. why your
project is still necessary).

CHAPTER THREE (new page)

METHODOLOGIES

 What to do and how to solve the problem and achieve proposed objectives?
 Which research methods (e.g. survey, design, modeling, analysis, case study…) will be used?

CHAPTER FOUR (new page)

WORK PLAN

 Attach a project schedule table

CHAPTER FIVE (new page)

ESTIMATED COST
