The document outlines the essential components and structure of a project proposal for a library management system. It details the elements required in a full proposal, such as context, problem statement, project objectives, implementation plan, and budget, along with guidelines for effective proposal writing. The project aims to automate library management, improving efficiency and user experience through a web application developed using PHP and MySQL.

2. • A practical means of doing something
• Specific goal, specific inputs,
• Defined starting point and completing time
frame
• Changes ideas/concepts into reality
consuming resources
• May be standalone or comprising other
number of projects/activities

3. • A proposal is a persuasive document
• Any proposal should reflect thoughtful
planning

4. Designing a project is a process consisting of two
elements, which are equally important and thus
essential to forming a solid project proposal:
project planning(formulation of project
elements)
proposal writing (converting the plan into a
project document)
The project proposal should be a detailed and
directed manifestation of the project design. It is a
means of presenting the project to the outside
world in a format that is immediately recognised
and accepted.

5. • A full proposal should have the following parts:
• Title Page
• Project Title
• TOC
• Abstract/Executive Summary
• Context
• Project Justification
• Problem Statement
• Priority Needs
• The proposed approach (type of intervention)

6. • The implementing organisation
• Project Aims & Objectives
• Target Group
• Project Implementation
• Budget
• Monitoring and Evaluation
• Reporting
• Management and Personnel

8. • a. Title of project in initial capital letters
• b. The sponsoring company and contact person’s
name and information
• c. Team name and individual member names
• d. Date
• e. An appropriate picture of the product, a team
logo, or both

9. • The project title should be short, concise, and
preferably refer to a certain key project result or
the leading project activity.

10. • It is useful to insert a short project summary, an
abstract or executive summary. The abstract
should include: the problem statement, the
project’s objectives, implementing organisations;
key project activities; and potentially the total
project budget. Theoretically, the abstract should
be compiled after the relevant items already
exist in their long form.

11. • This part of the project describes the social,
economic, political and culturalbackground from
which the project is initiated. It should contain
relevant data from research carried out in the
project planning phase or collected from other
sources.

12. A rationale should be provided for the project. Due
to its importance, this section is sometimes divided
into four or more sub-sections:
• Problem statement:
The problem statement provides a description of
the specific problem(s) the project is trying to
solve.
• Priority needs:
The needs of the target group that have arisen as
a direct negative impact of the problem should be
prioritised. An explanation as to how this decision

13. • The proposed approach (type of
intervention):
The project proposal should describe
the strategy chosen for solving the problem and
precisely how it will lead to improvement.
• The implementing organization:
This section should describe the capabilities of
your organisation by referring to its capacity and
previous project record.

14. • Project aims:
This information should be obtained from the
Logframe Matrix, including the project goal (a
general aim that should explain what the core
problem is and why the project is important, i.e.
what the long-term benefits to the target group
are), project purpose (that should address the core
problem in terms of the benefits to be received by
the project beneficiaries or target group as a direct
result of the project) and the outputs (i.e. results
describe the services or products to be delivered to
the intended beneficiaries).

15. • The implementation plan should describe
activities and resource allocation in as much
detail as possible. It is exceptionally important to
provide a good overview of who is going to
implement the project’s activities, as well as
when and where.
• The implementation plan may be divided into
two key elements:
• Activity plan
• Resource plan

16. The activity plan should include specific
information and explanations of each of the
planned project activities.
In general, two main formats are used to express
the activity plan: a simple table (a simple table
with columns for activities, sub-activities, tasks,
timing and responsibility in a clear and readily
understandable format) and the Gantt chart (a
universal format for presenting activities in certain
times frames, shows the dependence and
sequence for each activity.

17. The resource plan should provide information on
the means necessary to undertake the project. Cost
categories are established at this stage in order to
aggregate and summarise the cost information for
budgeting.

18. An itemized summary of an organisation’s
expected income and expenses over a specified
period of time.

19. The basis for monitoring is set when
the indicators for results are set. The project
proposal should indicate: how and when the
project management team will conduct
activities to monitor the project’s progress;
which methods will be used to monitor and
evaluate; and who will do the evaluation.

20. The schedule of project progress and financial
report could be set in the project proposal. Often
these obligations are determined by the standard
requirements of the donor agency. The project
report may be compiled in different versions, with
regard to the audience they are targeting.

21. A brief description should be given of the project
personnel, the individual roles each one has
assumed, and the communication mechanisms that
exist between them. All the additional information
(such as CVs) should be attached to the
annexes(=>added as an extra or subordinate part,
especially to a document.).

22. – Project objectives must be SMART
• S = Specific
• M = Measurable
• A = Attainable
• R = Realistic
• T = Time bound

23. • This recommended format is flexible and not
compulsory for every project proposal. Points
can be added or removed on need basis
