Project Making – Development Project Proposals
Each group ( 5 students in a group) will represent a type of development
strategy: poverty reduction, trade-not-aid, good governance and sustainable
development.
Each of these four groups will have to create a project related to their
development strategy and will have to present this project to
Development Solutions to receive funding. Each group will write a
5-7 page proposal and will give a 10-minute presentation on their project.
The groups should be prepared to answer questions about the project and
defend it.
During the presentation, all the students will act as board members of
Development Solutions and will need to evaluate the projects for funding.
They cannot evaluate and vote for their own project.
The project must be saved in a CD-R / DVD-R with proper labelling ( for presentation purposes) and Hard Copy must be complied in blue colored plastic folder using short bond papers.
