 How far you go in life depends on your being
tender with the young, compassionate with the
aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of
the weak and strong because someday in life, you
will have been all of these.

 Learning Objectives
This unit will enable the trainees to formulate and
conceptualize projects for their community service areas.
At the end of this unit, the student should be able to:
• 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.
 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.
In general terms, project management encompasses
project planning, implementation, and monitoring and
evaluation.
 PROJECT PLANNING AND
IMPLEMENTATION
Project is a time-bound undertaking that is
carried out to create a unique service. It
combines resources and channeled into a
temporary structure in order to accomplish a
specific goal.
 PROJECT PLANNING AND
IMPLEMENTATION
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 set of projects that may be undertaken in an
uninterrupted or staggered manner.
 PROJECT PLANNING AND
IMPLEMENTATION
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.
Afterward, the cycle goes back to round.

 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 trainees must assist the community in
identifying, analyzing and prioritizing the
needs, and concerns they must tackle.
 PROJECT PLANNING
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.
 PROJECT PLANNING
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 a Project Proposal?
A project proposal is a guide for both the trainees and
trainers in attaining tasks while they are in community
immersion. It serves 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.
 Purposes of Making Project Proposal in the
Light of NSTP
• It guides trainees and trainors in designing a program for their
clientele.
• It facilitates implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the projects.
• It serves as database in making reports as a requirement to the course.
• It makes work easier for it serves as reference for trainees to give the
right information needed for the project.
• It serves as a ready source of data for research work.

The Parts of a Project Proposal for NSTP
Immersion Projects
There are various formats used in the preparation
of a project proposal.
On the next pages is one of the designs followed.
 The Parts of a Project Proposal for NSTP
Immersion Projects
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.
Example:
OPERATION PLAN(OPLAN): CLEAN AND GREEN
(A Project on Waste Management and Green Philippines)
 The Parts of a Project Proposal for NSTP
Immersion Projects
2. Project Proponents. This part enumerates the names of
persons to be involved in the project, their year level (if trainees),
rank (if trainers), contact numbers and address or college. If
there are several activities that require several leaders in every
undertaking, names must be specified per activity.
Example:
Group 4 and 5 - CWTS-CAFA-MAPAGKAWANGGAWA I Class
 The Parts of a Project Proposal for NSTP

3. Implementing Units/Implementers. It must be noted. that in
writing this part of the proposal, capital letters must be used to
differentiate from the project proponents
Example:
Line 4 (manpower – for placing Lines 5 (responsible for the lecture
trash bins in particular areas and proper)
distributing other materials) Group leader:
Group leader: Members:
Members:

4. Project Duration. Specify days, weeks and months needed to
complete the project. Specify when the project will commence
and when will it be finished. Attach a Gantt chart of activity
based on the length of the project.

Example:
Date of Implementation:
January 21 and 28, 2017
 The Parts of a Project Proposal for NSTP

5. Length of Implementation. Two day implementation only. For
the first day, around 6-7 hours of community work (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. Objectives 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.
 The Parts of a Project Proposal for NSTP

7. Project description.
c. Benefits derived from the 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.
Example:
"The target audience will benefit from the project in terms of acquisition of know-how
on waste management, prevention of diseases/illnesses associated with improper
waste disposal and unhygienic surroundings.”

d. Coverage.
The area or vicinity covered by 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.
Example:
"The project will cover the 100 families of the Barangay specifically the household
help and unemployed housewives.”

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.
Example:
"The lecture-seminar method will be employed In the project. Setting up of waste
segregation bins will also be done.”

9. Detailed 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 most instances, the bigger the project, the
larger the budget required. In many cases, budget depends on the
size of expenditures needed. Sources of fund must also be
specified. Budget is prepared using the following data:

 Towards a Responsive Community Action
Synthesis:
The project development approach follows a systematic
process that involves determining the needs and the
problems in the community/barangay/purok, planning,
implementing and evaluating time-limited initiative that is
undertaken to create a unique service.
These specific concerns in the development of project can be
viewed in a cyclical presentation of the various phases
involved in the process known as project cycle.
 Towards a Responsive Community Action
Synthesis:
The stages are as follows:
1. Community Needs Assessment
2. Project Formulation/Planning
3. Organization of Resources
4. Implement the Project
5. Project Monitoring
6. Impact Evaluation
7. Review of the Action Plan
 Towards a Responsive Community Action
Synthesis:
It is worth while to give due attention to the critical role
played by planning in the execution of the project.

Remember, "if you fail to plan, you plan to fail."
