What is Project ? • A project is a temporary/short term process or clear
set of activities, which has clearly defined start & end time, a set of task and a budget that is developed to accomplish a well defined goal or objective to support program
Project must have;• Clearly define objective/ goal or desired outcome
(Output)• Implementation timeframe and• An established budget & resources (Input) in term
of 5Ms of a project
(Men, Money, Machines, Materials & Man-hours)8
Specification of Project • Objective
• Activities Outputs ⇒• Duration
• Budget ( Input)
• Resources (Input)
An undertaking for the purpose of achieving established objectives, within a given budget and time period.
9
What is inputs & outputs?
• Inputs Personnel, materials, equipments, facilities and funds required by the project.
• OutputsStrategies for achieving the Project Purpose
• Activities Specific actions taken to produce Outputs
10
Specification of Project Link with Program
• Project is always fall or linked to program in order to increase the impact on development aspect and to create synergy in effort to achieve over all goal/objectives of program and ultimately organization
• Project is a strategic support to achieve development goal and objective of program
• Project has LIMITED RESOURCES to reach planned objectives
11
Difference between Program & Project
Program Project
Long term Predefined timeframe
Broad Objective and Vision Clearly defined objective, inputs and outputs
Having its own identity Project is to provide strategic support to create synergy in effort to achieve over all goal/objectives
Program is like an umbrella Project is fall under this umbrella as a supportive part of program
Implemented by the partner organizations or may be supported by partner organization
12
Example of Project and ProgramName of program: Environment life
Development objective:
Rural resource mobilization to meet the challenges of environment deterioration and energy crises of the country

• Management is a continuous process to organize and utilize 5M (Men, Money, Machines, Materials & Man-hours) for the achievement of define goal/
objective/ output.OR
• Management is a process of setting and achieving goals through the execution of the 4 basic functions of management: planning, organizing, directing and controlling, by utilizing human, financial and material resources 16
4 Basic Functions of Management
• Planning
• Organizing
• Directing and
• Controlling
17
What is Project Management
• Project management is the process of Planning, Organizing & Managing task & resources to accomplish a definite objective, usually within constraints on time, resources or cost.

The analysis phase is the most critical and
difficult phase but analysis existing situation is important for;
Objective development for addressing real needs
STEP1: Situation Analysis
42
1- Stakeholders Analysis
What is stakeholder?
“Group, organization, individual, who may have an influence on a situation/project or are themselves affected by it.”
43
1 Stakeholder AnalysisIs an analysis of the
• Problems
• Fears
• Interest
• Expectation
• Restriction and
• Potential
44
1 Stakeholders Analysis
Identify the issues, problems, and current conditions of the target area through analyzing the area and local residents targeted for assistance, related groups, related organizations and agencies.
Focus on people and organization.
Tentatively select a target group. 45
Key Questions to Stakeholder Analysis
• Who will be involved in the Logframe development
• Where will be development be conducted
• Who will facilitate
• What background material and expertise are needed
• What material and logistic are required
46
2 Problems Analysis
• What are the problems the project is
addressing?
• What are the root cause of those problems?
• What is the larger picture in which those
problems and their root causes exist?
• What are the links between the problems?
47
2 Problems Analysis
Problems Analysis visually represents the causes and effects of existing problems in the project area, in the form of a Problem Tree. It clarifies the relationships among the identified problems.

Rules for Writing Problems
1. Write in a Sentence.
Make Clear “Subject and Object”.
2. Avoid “No Solution”.
3. Avoid Generalization.– Be Specific.
4. Don’t Write a Cause and Effect in One Card.
5. Be Specific Whose problem.

3 Objectives Analysis
A procedure for systematically
• Identifying
• Categorizing
• Specifying
• Balancing out ( if required) objectives
Objective is always for addressing needs to reduce effect of causes /resolve problem
55
Objective Analysis
• Objective analysis & problem analysis influence each other.
• The more information about the problem solution the more you can formulate objectives
• OBJECTIVES TREE is required for objective analysis
56
Objective Tree• The problem tree is transformed into an
objectives tree
• Problems are restated as objectives
• Positive mirror image of the problem tree
• The objectives tree considered as an “Ends-
Means” diagram.
Continued 57
What is ENDS-MEANS’ Diagram?
• Top of the Objective tree is the end that is required/ desired
• Lower level are the means to achieving the end
• Based on this objectives tree, certain means are feasible and some may be outside the scope/ objective of problem
58
Objective Tree• The Means of “Objective Tree” provide the
foundation for developing
• Programmes
• Projects or
• Strategies
To address the problem59
Strategy Analysis
• Strategy analysis phase involve the selection of a strategy to achieve the desired results
• Strategy analysis is a process in which specific project strategies are selected from among the objectives and means raised in Objectives Analysis, based upon selection criteria

60
Strategy Analysis.Always remember;
There are many solution for one problem
They must be a suitable steps towards the attainment of identifying objectives
Strategy analysis or analysis of alternatives in a systematic way of searching for and deciding on problem solutions
61
Many Solution of one Problem
62
Strategy Analysis
Strategy Analysis;
• Searching for and deciding solution
• Follows the problems and objectives analysis
• Prerequisite to deciding action strategy
63
Conducting a Strategy Analysis
• Ordering sequence of the problem and
objectives tree
• Clustering objectives
• Feasibility of different intervention
• Main objective becomes the project
purpose and the lower order becomes the
outputs or results and activities 64
Conducting a Strategy Analysis

Module 3
Introduction to Project Planning Matrix
(PPM)
67
Objective
To provide the necessary background for the working group exercise on the Project Planning Matrix (PPM)
68
What is PPM
• A one page summary that tell us;
Why a project is carried out (Who/ what will benefit
What the project is expected to achieve
How the project is going to achieve its outputs/ results (Measures executed)
Which external factors are crucial for the success of project (Risk and fram conditions)
69
What is PPM
Which external factors are crucial for the success of project (Risk and frame conditions)
How we can assess the success (Indicators)
Where we will find the data required to assess to success(Means of verification)

PPM Vertical Logic
• Project Purpose Objectives that the project should achieve within the project duration
The development outcome that project expected at the end of the project
• Overall Goal Direction that the project should take next
The broader development impact to which the project contributes- at national and sect oral level
• OutputsStrategies for achieving the Project Purpose
• Activities Specific actions taken to produce Outputs
72
PPM Horizontal Logic • Objectively Verifiable Indicators
Standards for measuring project achievement.
• Means of VerificationData sources from which indicators are derived.
• Inputs Personnel, materials, equipments, facilities and funds required by the project.
• Important Assumptions Conditions important for project success, but that cannot be controlled by the projects. Whether these conditions develop or not is uncertain.
• Preconditions Conditions that must be fulfilled before a project gets underway
73
Characteristics of PPM
Participatory Approach
Logicality
Consistency Transparency
Problem-Solving
74
Formation of the PPM
The project Plan Matrix (PPM) is formed through elaborating the major project components and plans based on the approach selected. The format of PPM is similar to that of the PCM/ PDM and Logical Framework, and therefore can be commonly used worldwide.
75
PPM Appraisal
The PPM Appraisal is conducted by an aid agency to ensure the project plan. It is composed of the following stage:
(1) Examination of the details of the PPM elements; (2) review of the PPM formation process; (3) examination from the perspective of the five evaluation criteria.
76
Plan of Operations
The Plan of Operation is prepared by the project implementers, based on the PPM and other information. It is an effective tool for project implementation and management, and provides important data for monitoring and evaluation of the project.
