2. LECTURE OBJECTIVES
Short Course on Environmental Planning
DCERP & HUMEIN Phils. Inc.
By the end of the lecture, participants are expected to
explain each stage of the project development cycle

3. PROJECT
It is a set of planned activities designed to achieve a
certain objective with given resources and within a
specified period of time.
The following are the attributes of a project:
ā¢ Objectives
ā¢ Finite duration or time frame
ā¢ Specific physical boundary
ā¢ Beneficiaries
ā¢ Specified and quantified costs and benefits
ā¢ Organization and management structure
ā¢ Coordinated undertaking of inter-related activities

4. PROJECT CLASSIFICATION (NEDA)
Stand-alone project can produce output on its own
and can be implemented without the need to
implement other projects
Required project provides the enabling mechanism
for another project(s) to produce output. The project
can be analyzed as a stand-alone or as component
of a package of products
Needs-a-companion project - ability to produce
output depends on the success of another project.
The project needs to be packages with other
project(s) that provide(s) the enabling mechanism

11. SOURCES OF PROJECT IDEAS
ā¢ Development plans and strategies
ā¢ Local government units or peopleās representatives
ā¢ Demand by interest groups or beneficiaries
ā¢ Unused or unutilized material or human resources and
opportunities
ā¢ Problems or constraints in the development process
ā¢ Private sponsors and enterprises
ā¢ Need to complement other investments
ā¢ Product of a dialogue between a country and international
funding agencies
11Short Course on Environmental Planning

12. Before project ideas can be identified
there is a need to organize and analyze. . .
ā¢ available information on the desirable
geographic project areas
ā¢ economy and the natural resources
ā¢ existing technologies, institutions,
human resources and their development potential
ā¢ experiences gained from past development projects
12Short Course on Environmental Planning
DCERP & HUMEIN Phils. Inc.
13. ā¢ Involves preliminary selection of the project
concept and of alternative design approaches
ā¢ Indicates the general promise of the project ideas
and the reasons for the choices made
ā¢ Might need a pre-feasibility studies or orderly
refinement up to the point where only the most
suitable are retained

1. CONCEPTION / IDENTIFICATION
Short Course on Environmental Planning
DCERP & HUMEIN Phils. Inc.
14. Selection criteria to screen and
modify project ideas
1. Technical soundness
2. Risk
3. Financing
4. Adequacy of skills and other inputs
5. Social or environmental costs
6. Commitment of the beneficiary
14Short Course on Environmental Planning

15. TOOLS IN PROJECT IDENTIFICATION
ā¢ Participatory problemanalysis
ā¢ Problem tree
ā¢ Objective tree
ā¢ Strategy identification and formulation
ā¢ Alternatives formulation and analysis
ā¢ Secondary data
ā¢ Direct observations
ā¢ Consultations and interviews with target groups,
stakeholders, schools, etc.
ā¢ Focus group discussions, questionnaires

16. 2. FORMULATION / PREPARATION
Consists of bringing a project defined to the point at
which it can be appraisedāwhether and how it can
be carried out effectively and at a cost comparing
favorably with its expected contribution to economic
and social development at a cost suitable for
financing
Includes conduct of a detailed feasibility study:
distributional, environmental, other impacts of the
project and prerequisites for successful
implementation 16Short Course on Environmental Planning

17. FACTORS TO CONSIDER IN
PROJECT FORMULATION
ā¢ what items to produce and in what quantities
ā¢ where and how to sell the items
ā¢ appropriate type of design
ā¢ project location
ā¢ what methods of operation and maintenance
are the best
ā¢ type of technical and management assistance
needed
17Short Course on Environmental Planning

18. 3. ANALYSIS AND APPRAISAL
Critical stage of the project cycle because it is the
ā¢ culmination of the preparatory work
ā¢ comprehensive review of all aspects of the
project
ā¢ lays the foundation for implementing the
project and evaluating it when completed
18Short Course on Environmental Planning
DCERP & HUMEIN Phils. Inc.
19. 3. ANALYSIS AND APPRAISAL
Decision in this stage are based on:
ā¢ overall feasibility and soundness of the project
ā¢ priority of the project area
ā¢ cost-benefit analysis
ā¢ cost effectiveness analysis
19Short Course on Environmental Planning

20. 4. IMPLEMENTATION / SUPERVISION
ā¢ Involves final review of the design and timetable
ā¢ Establishment of schedules and time frames,
feedback and communication systems, MIS, etc.
ā¢ Allocation of tasks to groups within the project
organization
ā¢ Decisions about procurement of equipment,
resources and manpower (mobilization, training)
ā¢ Exercise in collective problem solving, i.e., Identifying
and dealing with problems that arise during
implementation
20Short Course on Environmental Planning

21. A sound project identification and
preparation will pave way for smooth
implementation of projects.
Flexibility in implementation is important.

22. 5. OPERATIONS
ā¢ Stage when the project is in full swing on-going
ā¢ Production and marketing activities are performed
ā¢ Takes into account the changing patterns that
occur during the projectās life (monitoring) e.g.
changing personnel and patterns of inputs
ā¢ Needs continuous monitoring and control
ā¢ Produces plans that need to be reviewed and
updated to meet the changing situation
ā¢ Reallocate resources to behind-schedule activities
22Short Course on Environmental Planning

23. Project execution system aims to oversee the actual
construction/installation operations carried out according to
plan, specifications, work programs and schedules
Implementation schedule can be depicted through bar or
Gantt chart indicates the projectās chronological sequence
Network diagram is advised for large and complex projects
to cope with the inherent complexity of activity linkages in
the projects showing sequential interrelationship among
activities 23
5. OPERATION

26. 6. EVALUATION
ā¢ To determine what went well/poorly and why
and how future efforts can be improved on the
basis of the knowledge gained
ā¢ Review or reappraisal which provides a
feedback mechanism to maintain high
standards of performance for the project itself
ā¢ Serves as a basis for improved project planning
and implementation
ā¢ Audit of project to insure resources accountability
26Short Course on Environmental Planning
DCERP & HUMEIN Phils. Inc.
27. 6. EVALUATION
ā¢ Result in a careful documentation of experiences
ā¢ Can be done by the implementing body, other
interested group, and funding organization
ā¢ Assesses the worthwhileness of the project, i.e.,
whether it can be replicated
ā¢ Takes into account the aspects of project which
are unique, non-repeatable as well as success
and problems which have wider applicability
ā¢ Feedback from project output users and
beneficiaries are obtained

29. PHASES OF PROJECT
DEVELOPMENT
Pre-investment
phase
ā¢ Alternatives are screened
eliminations are done projects are
scrutinized
Investment
phase
ā¢ Detailed engineering and costs
are determined
ā¢ Progress and performance are
supervised
Post-
investment
phase
ā¢ Structure constructed, services
delivered
ā¢ Project benefits and impacts are
evaluated
