3. Project cycle
• Project Cycle:
– It is a sequence of events, which a project follows.
– refers to the various stages through which project planning proceeds
from the inception to implementation.
– it is the life cycle through which a project advances from infancy to
maturity.
• The main features of this cycle are information gathering, analysis, and
decision-making.
• Throughout the project cycle, the primary concern of the analysis is to:
– Consider alternative,
– evaluate them and to make decisions on which of them should be
advanced to the next stage.

4. 2.1. Elements of the project cycle are:
1. Identification
2. Preparation
1. Pre-feasibility Study
2. Feasibility
3. Appraisal and agreement
4. Implementation
5. Monitoring and Evaluation
9/8/2021 Deressa Bulcha chala 4
6. • The first stage in the project cycle is to find potential projects
• At this stage the project idea is translated in to a preliminary
description of a project and it involves:
• Finding potentially fundable projects
• In general the source of the project ideas are the following:
– Project ideas from technical specialists
– Project ideas from local leaders
– Project ideas from entrepreneurs
– Project ideas from government policy and plans
• Different approach's to the project are identified and judgments made
regarding which option should be taken forward to project preparation,
9/8/2021 Deressa Bulcha chala 6
7. • The identification of project ideas is based on several
aspects of development.
– Need: a need assessment survey may show the need for intervention
– Market demand: domestic or overseas
– Resource availability: opportunity to make available resources
more profitable
– Technology - to make use of available technology
– Natural calamity - intervention against natural calamity such
as flood or drought
– Political considerations
9/8/2021 Deressa Bulcha chala 7
8. • Once project ideas have been identified the process of project
preparation and analysis starts.
• Project preparation must cover the full range of
– technical,
– institutional,
– economic, and
– financial conditions necessary to achieve the project's
objective
9/8/2021 Deressa Bulcha chala 8
9. • In preparation/designing stage of the project
– Objectives, pre-requisites, inputs/outputs, organization,
participants and clearances are all defined
– Its cost and earnings are calculated
– A financial plan is prepared,
– Expected results are analyzed
– The socio economics and environmental impacts are
estimated
– The provisional and final documentation work are prepared
9/8/2021 Deressa Bulcha chala 9
10. • Preparation thus require feasibility studies that:
– identify and prepare preliminary designs of technical and
institutional alternatives,
– Compare their costs and benefits, and
– investigate in more details the more promising alternatives
9/8/2021 Deressa Bulcha chala 10
11. Preparation involves generally two steps:
• Some of the main components examined during the
prefeasibility study include:
– Availability of adequate market
– Project growth potential
– Investment costs, operational cost and distribution costs
– Demand and supply factors; and
– Social and environmental considerations
– If the project appear viable from this preliminary assessment
the analysis will be carried to the feasibly stage.
9/8/2021 Deressa Bulcha chala 11
12. • The major difference between the pre-feasibility and feasibility
studies is the amount of work required in order to determine
whether a project is likely to be viable or not.
– If the preliminary screening suggests that the project is prima
facie/evidence of facts worthwhile, a detailed analysis of the
marketing, technical, financial, economic and ecological aspects will
be undertaken.
– The focus of this phase of capital budgeting is on gathering,
preparing, and summarizing relevant information about various project
proposals, which are being considered for inclusion in the capital
investment
– The final product of this stage is a feasibility report.
9/8/2021 Deressa Bulcha chala 12
13. The feasibility report should contain the following elements:
• Market analysis
• Technical analysis
• Organizational analysis
• Financial analysis
• Economic analysis
• Social analysis, and
• Environmental analysis
9/8/2021 Deressa Bulcha chala 13
14. Selection & design)
• The feasibility study would enable the project analyst to select the
most likely project out of several alternative projects.
• At this stage:
– Documents are prepared from the project documents and a
succession of appraisal/agreement meeting
– Clearance and finance negotiations takes place
– It addresses the question - is the project worthwhile?
9/8/2021 Deressa Bulcha chala 14
15. • After the project design is prepared negotiations with the
funding organization starts and once source of finance is
secured implementation follows.
• At this stage the project management and lines of
command are established,
• Various implementation procedures established
• In the course of implementation; project progress is
monitored, revision and adaptation are made for
unexpected events,
• Finally the project is brought to completion
9/8/2021 Deressa Bulcha chala 15
16. • Project analysts generally divide the implementation
phase into three time periods.
1. The investment phase, where the major investments
are made..
2. The development phase, which may also extend from
three to five years
3. The project life
9/8/2021 Deressa Bulcha chala 16
17. • The final phase of the project cycle,
• Evaluation involves the systematic collection of information
about the activities, characteristic and outcomes of an activity or
action, in order to determine its worth or merit
• Project evaluation is a monitoring (checking) activity in order to:
– Find out how things are going;
– Encourage the project team;
– Check that promised resources are in fact working on project tasks;
– Rapidly learn about concerns and difficulties;
– Show concern for the success of the project; and
– Take corrective action if things go wrong.
9/8/2021 Deressa Bulcha chala 17
18. • In this stage it is important to examine the project plan and what
really happened
• The project analyst looks carefully at the successes and failures
in the project experience to learn how better to plan for the
future.
• Performance review should be done periodically to compare
actual performance with projected performance.

21. Framework of project analysis
• The project analyst must consider several aspects when carrying project
analysis/investigation
• These are all inter-related, and the importance of each varies from project
to project, or design to design
• Framework: an essential supporting or underlying structure
• Analysis: a detailed examination of the elements or structure of
something
• It is used to identify analytical elements for each stage in project cycle.
– During preparation, analysis and subsequent evaluation and impact
2.2. Analytical Aspect of the Project
9/8/2021 Deressa Bulcha chala 21
22. • The major aspects of project preparation and analysis are :
1. Technical,
2. Institutional, organizational and managerial aspects,
3. Social,
4. Commercial,
5. Financial,
6. Economic and
7. Environmental aspects
9/8/2021 Deressa Bulcha chala 22
23. A. Technical Aspects:
The technical analysis is concerned with the projects inputs
(supplies) and outputs of real goods and services and the
technology of production and processing
• It is analysis of the technical and engineering aspects of a project
to be done continuously when a project is formulated
• This aspect may include the works of engineers, soil scientists and
agronomists in case of say, agricultural projects.
• Poor technical analysis will result in under- or over- estimation of
quantities related to inputs required by and outputs of the project.
9/8/2021 Deressa Bulcha chala 23
24. In general the technical analysis is primarily concerned with:
• Material inputs and utilities
• Manufacturing process and technology
• Product mix
• Plant capacity
• Location and site
• Machines and equipment
• Structure and civil works
• Project charts and layouts
• Work schedule
Technical A. cont’…
9/8/2021 Deressa Bulcha chala 24
25. The technical analysis examine the possible technical relations in a
proposed agricultural project:
– The soils in the region of the project and their potential for
agricultural development;
– The availability of water, both natural (rainfall, and its distribution)
and supplied (the possibilities for developing irrigation, with its
associated drainage works);
– The crop varieties and livestock species suited to the area;
– The technical analysis also examine the marketing and storage
facilities required for the successful operation of the project, and the
processing systems that will be needed.
Technical A. cont’…
9/8/2021 Deressa Bulcha chala 25
26. B. Commercial and Business Aspects:
Commercial aspect includes
– market demand for the project,
– effects on price,
– processing and value added effects and
– effects on the domestics and/or export market and quality of the
product,
– Inputs and supply issues: securing supplies( fertilizer,
pesticides and seeds) and financing
• It also assesses possible means in which the market will absorb the
output without affecting the output price and if it price inevitably
be affected, we would have to assess its magnitude.
9/8/2021 Deressa Bulcha chala 26
27. Business analysis is basically concerned with two questions:
1. What would be the aggregate demand of the proposed
product/service in future?
2. What would be the market share of the project under appraisal?
• To answer the above two questions the project analyst requires a wide
variety of information and need to use appropriate forecasting methods.
• The kinds of information required are:
1. Consumption trends in the past and the present consumption level
2. Past and present supply positions
3. Production possibilities and constraints
4. Imports and exports
27
9/8/2021 Deressa Bulcha chala
28. 5. Structure and competition
6. Cost structure
7. Consumer behavior, intentions, attitudes, preferences, and
requirements
8. Distribution channels and marketing policies in use
9. Administrative, technical, and legal constraints.
Commercial … Aspects cont’…
9/8/2021 Deressa Bulcha chala 28
29. C. Institutional-Organizational-Managerial Aspects:
• It is the detail analysis of institutional setting(i.e. rule of conduct) is
important for the success of the project.
• Customs and culture of the participants have to be understood and
accounted to avoid the disruption in the way societies are
accustomed.
– Hence increase the possibility of adoption or rejection
• Some important aspects includes land tenure, indigenous farmers
organizations, authority and responsibility
• This analysis aims at answering the following questions:
– Is the organizational set-up of the project adequate?
– Will the project be provided with competent personnel to
manage it?
9/8/2021 Deressa Bulcha chala 29
30. Institutional cont’…
• The problem of project staffing raises many other
questions:
– Is local manpower market enough to provide the project
with the required manpower?
– Can competent staff be recruited freely?
– Should they be recruited locally or overseas?
• But even if the right staff is available, their success will
depend mostly on the institutional set-up.

31. D. Financial Aspects:
• Financial analysis seeks to determine whether the proposed
project will be financially viable or not.
• Here the project analyst is concerned with the financial effects of
the proposed project on each of its various participants (firms,
farmers/workers, government etc.)
• By examining the financial implications of the project for these
parties,
• The analysts need to identify the projects financial efficiency,
(say, could the firm have enough working capital?).
9/8/2021 Deressa Bulcha chala 31
32. • The financial analysis establishes the magnitude of costs of
investment, production and overheads and magnitude of
benefits
• This analysis will be the basis for evaluating the project
profitability.
• Its profitability depends on a comparison of costs versus
revenues using realistic market prices of materials, labor and
outputs.
Financial… cont’…
9/8/2021 Deressa Bulcha chala 32
33. While conducting financial appraisal, we have to looked into:
1. Investment outlay /expenditure and costs of the project
2. Means of financing; source of finance, credit terms, interest
rates, etc
3. Cost of capital
4. Projected profitability
5. Cash flows of the project
6. Investment worthiness judged in terms of various criteria of
merit
7. Projected financial position

34. • Financial analysis must generate future financial statements
such as income statement, balance sheet and uses-and-
source-of-fund statement.
• The financial analysis must clearly show fund flows in each
period in the project life.

35. E. Economic Aspects:
• The economic aspects are the most important in ultimately
determining impact of any public sector investment in agriculture.
• Economic aspects determine the value of the project from the
viewpoint of society at large and
– also to determine the economic efficiency with which scarce
resources are allocated
• In such evaluation the focus is on the social costs and benefits of a
project, which may often be different from its monetary or
financial costs, and benefits.
– The financial analysis views the project from the participants (or
owners) point of view, while the economic analysis form the society's
point of view.
9/8/2021 Deressa Bulcha chala 35
36. F. Social Aspects:
• Project analysts are also expected to examine the broader social
implications of the proposed project.
• It should address the income distribution implications of a
project.
– Other closely related aspects as
• Employment opportunities,
• Losers and gainer in terms of social groups, gender issues
impacts on social organization, changes in tenurial division
of labor,
• Quality of life improvement( water; health; education
• stimulating or competing effects with other sectors, and
• other desired objectives must be considered.
9/8/2021 Deressa Bulcha chala 36
37. G. Environmental aspect analysis
• It deals with primarily with adverse biological and physical
environmental impacts: irrigation, notable scenic beauty, …
• Its effect on the world of animals, plants, water, air, and
humans existing in the project area.
• Ecological analysis should be done particularly for major
projects, which have significant ecological implications like
power plants and irrigation schemes, and environmental
polluting industries.
9/8/2021 Deressa Bulcha chala 37
38. • The key questions raised in ecological analysis are:
– What is the likely damage caused by the project to the
environment?
– What is the cost of restoration measures required to
ensure that the damage to the environment is contained
within acceptable limits?
38

39. Summary
• There are generally seven aspect of project analysis this are:
– Technical
– Institutional, organizational and managerial aspects
– Social
– Commercial
– Financial
– Economic and
– Environmental aspects
9/8/2021 Deressa Bulcha chala 39
40. • The technical analysis is concerned with the projects inputs (supplies) and
outputs of real goods and services and the technology of production and
processing.
• Commercial aspect analysis needs to ensure the existence of effective demand
at remunerative price
• Institutional, organizational and managerial aspects must make a detail analysis
of project organization and management.
• Financial analysis seeks to ascertain whether the proposed project will be
financially viable in the sense of being able to meet the burden of servicing debt
and whether the proposed project will satisfy the return expectations of those
who provide the equity capital.
9/8/2021 Deressa Bulcha chala 40
41. • The economic aspect of project preparation is primarily concerned
with the determination of the likelihood of the proposed project,
and hence the committing of scares resources, by justifying the
significance of the project from the whole economy point of view
(the society as a whole)
• Social aspect expected to examine the broader social implications
of the proposed project
• Environmental aspects deal primarily with adverse biological and
physical environmental impacts, i.e. irrigation, bilharzia, notable
scenic beauty, preserving unique plants and animals, etc.
