Project Formulation

Project formulation is the process of documenting the eligible facility, the eligible work and the eligible cost for projects. Formulation allows the consolidation of similar work items into projects to expedite approval and funding and to facilitate project management

 Need for project Formulation : Selection of appropriate technology Influence external economies Resource mobilization Knowledge about government regulations Dearth of technically qualified people

Significance of Project Formulation :

Project formulation is the best passport for obtaining the required assistance from financial institutions It will also be great assistance for obtaining necessary government Clearance and in meeting the hurdles of procedure formalities It will pinpoint the matters for which government sanctions have obtained It will provide an independent assessment of the feasibility of obtaining sanctions based on existing government policies

Stages of Project Formulation : 1. Feasibility Analysis 2. Techno-Economic Analysis 3. Project Design and Network Analysis 4. Input Analysis 5. Financial Analysis 6. Cost-Benefit Analysis 7. Pre-Investment Analysis

Sequential Stages of Project Formulation

Project Feasibility Techno- Economic Design

Net work
Input Finance Social Cost -Benefit

Pre - Investment

Feasibility analysis : First stage in project formulation

Examination to see whether to go in a detailed investment proposal or not

Seeing for internal and external constraints

Techno Economic Analysis :

Estimate of potential of the demand for goods /services Choice of optimal technology This analysis gives the project a platform for preparation of detailed project design

Project design and network analysis : It is the heart of project entity It defines the sequence of events of the project It is presented in the form of a network drawing It helps to identify project inputs , finance needed and cost benefit profile of the project

Financial analysis : It involves estimating project costs , operating costs and fund requirements It helps in comparing various project proposals on common scale Analytical tools used are discounted cash flows . CVP analysis and ratio analysis Investment decisions Financial forecasts

 Cost Benefit analysis : The overall worth of a project is considered The project design forms the basis of evaluation It considers costs that all entities have to bear and benefits connected to it

Project Design
What do you want to achieve with your project (goals, outcomes)? What kind of background information is needed/available to quantify the need (data)? How much time is available and needed to achieve these goals (time frame, project implementation phase)? What activities have to be undertaken to achieve the goals? Which partners/stakeholders are needed or need to be involved? What financial resources are necessary?
