Every new project we intend to
carry out goes through the process of structured evaluation. The
various volunteers or field workers of Sanvedana identify the projects.
In addition, our donors also suggest some projects and some others come to our
notice from various other sources.
For every
project, a project owner and a sponsor is assigned from the
review board. The assigned project owner, with the help of the internal sponsor,
evaluates the project and comes up with a proposal, which clearly identifies
and outlines the following:
i) Who are
the intended beneficiaries?
ii) What benefits does the
project create?
iii) How do we ensure success?
iv) What are the critical
success factors for the project?
v) What are the boundaries of
the project?
v) How long does the project
need to be run to achieve maximum benefits?
vi) What is the basic cost
allocation structure for the entire project?
After the project has been approved in principle by
the review board, the detailed cost analysis and required cash flow
model is created. The whole process of approval takes around four-to-six weeks and
the actual project start is worked out based on cost analysis, cash flow models
and the available resources.
