5. Meaning and Overview of Project
Appraisal
Appraisal means Assessment and estimation.
Project define as:

7. Project Appraisal (cont.)
• Hard questions are asked and the answers determine
whether project proposal is adopted or rejected.
• The questions raised rotate around:
– appropriateness of project objectives,
– size, scope, implementation methods,

9. Good appraisal systems should ensure
that:
• Project application, appraisal and approval functions are
separate

proper consideration

expertise
• There are realistic allowances for time involved.

10. Key issues in appraising projects
• Need, targeting and objectives
Applicants should provide detailed description of
project, identifying local needs/ objectives it aims to meet.
• Context and connections

programmes and projects.
• Consultation
Local consultation determines priorities and secure
community consent and ownership.

are in place to deliver project.
• Value for money
This is one of the key criteria against which projects are
appraised .

12. Key issues in appraising projects
• Implementation
Appraisal scrutinises the practical plans for
implementation, asking whether staffing, timetable and
implementers are okay.
• Risk and uncertainty
There should also be contingency plans in place to
minimize the estimated risks.

13. Key issues in appraising projects
• Eligibility
– Regional Development
– Environmental protection
• Legal Frame Work
– Policies, public acceptance
– Licensing, safety
– Environmental compatibility
13

14. Key issues in appraising projects
• Technology And Design
– Project Definition
– Viability and performance
– Adaptation to technical progress
– Local-specific requirements
– Appropriate technical capacity
– Life expectancy
14

15. Key issues in appraising projects
• Time Schedule
– Preparation of feasibility studies
– Environmental studies Licensing requirements
– Time needed for procurement
– Local conditions (climatic, etc)
15

16. Key issues in appraising projects

long-distance effects

guidance?
• Are right people involved and, if necessary, how can you
widen involvement?

21. Feasibility Study
• Aim of a feasibility study:
• Development objectives

• Administrative feasibility of the project
21

22. Feasibility Study - Aims (cont.)
• The economic and financial viability of the
project proposal
• The status of demand for the project
beneficiaries
• Other important policy and cross cutting issues
(gender, environment)
22

23. Practical
• Appraise your identified projects in terms of the following:
– Technical analysis
– Economic Analysis
– Financial Analysis
– Environmental Analysis, and
– Social Analysis
– Gender Analysis
– Ecological Analysis
