Introduction
The Small Project Assistance (SPA) Program is a collaborative
effort of the Agency for International Development (AID) and
Peace Corps (PC). The SPA Program began in January of 1983 with
the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the two
agenciLs. Since that time, 43 countries have negotiated Country
Agreements to participate in the SPA Program, each administering
a fund which supports small community projects.
Countries participating in the SPA program have an administrative
relationship with a USAID post in the country, and have at least
ten Peace Corps Volunteers serving in the country. The
following countries have participated in the SPA Program:
Africa Inter-America NANEAP
Benin Kenya Belize Morocco
Botswana Lesotho Costa Rica Nepal
Burkina Liberia Dominican Republic Philippines
Faso Malawi Eastern Carribean Sri Lanka
Burundi Mali Ecuador Thailand
Cameroon Mauritania Guatemala Tunisia
Central Niger Haiti Yemen

The format for this report follows that of the original report,
June 1984, and the subsequent reports of October 1985, May 1987
and May 1988. Included in the report are abstracto of all the
projects received by Peace Corps/Washington during the period of
September 1, 1987 through October 1, 1988. A presentation of the

SPA Field Projects
The SPA Program provides funding for community self-help
projects. Peace Corps and the USAID mission in each country
review and approve individual project requests for funding.
Project criteria are as follows:
1. The activity must be scheduled for completion within one year
of its implementation.
2. The estimated contribution of SPA funds toward completion of
the activity must not exceed $10,000.
3. It must involve development in the general areas of food
production, energy, small enterprise development and/or income
generation, or health.
4. It must not encourage continued reliance on external
assistance.
5. The project must be conceived and implemented in conjunction
with a local community organization or group.
After Peace Corps and USAID approve a project, the community and
the Volunteer complete an Individual Activity Agreement (IAA),
and forward it to Peace Corps/Washington (PC/W). This project
summary is then abstracted and classified according to the
primary program impact area.
SPA program impact areas are defined as the following:
FP/IG - Food Production/Income Generation

SED/IG - Small Enterprise Development/Income Generation
FP - Food Production
Energy - Energy
Health - Health
All Health projects must also relate to one of the following:
Diarrheal Diseases and Immunization
Oral Rehydration Therapy (ORT) for infants
Immunization of infants and young children
Malaria and vector biology control
Maternal Health Care
Nutrition
Growth monitoring of infants and young children
Breastfeeding, weaning or Vitamin A
Water supply and sanitation
Health Education (materials development/adaptation/research)
The Role of the Volunteer in a Successful SPA Project
Success of an SPA project is determined by more than the end
product. The process of a community working together to address
an identified need is as much a part of the success as is the end
result.
Successful SPA projects should enhance a community's ability to
organize, plan and make group decisions. The PCV can play an
important role in this process by acting as a "facilitator"
rather than a "doer". In this way, the Volunteer can convey
technical skills while increasing leadership capacity and
self-reliance within the community.
PCV's who have worked with SPA projects have identified the
following as factors that help to facilitate the accomplishment
of the project and ensure that the process of skill transference
and organizational development occurs.
Ownership of the Project -
A successful project is owned by the community group. While a
PCV brings skills that can help the community to define a
problem, identify a solution, tap resources, and implement the
activity, the community must feel that it owns the project. A
project is in danger when a PCV finds that s/he is the only one
working on the project, or is identifying the project as "mine".
Problem Identification -
A successful project addresses a clearly defined problem, one
that can be broken down to basic causes. A PCV's analytical
skills can be extremely useful in helping the community to
identify possible causes of a problem and to select the most
appropriate solution and implementation strategy. For example, a
community may know that they have a shortage of grain. The PCV,
using a problem solving approach, can assist in identifying
whether the shortage is caused by poor seeds, inadequate water
supply, poor soil, insufficient technical skills, pests, lack of
labor, poor harvesting techniques, etc. Once the problem and the
causes have been identified, a useful project strategy can be
developed.
Planning -
Successful projects depend on thorough planning before
implementation. PCV's can help in the planning process by
introducing simple planning tools and by asking clarifying
questions. The community group, however, needs to be involved in
and take responsibility for the planning.
Implementation -
Projects which have significant contributions from the community,
both in-kind and financial, are more likely to succeed. During
the implementation phase of a project a PCV may be instrumental
in training participants in technical skills related to the
project. This transfer of skills is essential for the long term
success of the project.
The Proposal -
Whenever possible, the content of a proposal should be composed
by the community. This may mean translating the proposal form
in order to ensure understanding and encourage involvement among
community members. The PCV can be helpful by assisting with the
organization and writing of the proposal.
Record Keeping -
SPA projects are funded with government money and must be
accounted for with proper receipts and vouchers. The PCV may be
more knowledgeable about these procedures and can be of

assistance to the community group.
Before a project request is submitted, arrangements are to be

made for handling the project money.
Program funds for materials
and supplies should be paid directly to local vendors. In some
cases, however, this is not possible, and cash advances must be
given to the community group. A Volunteer may help the community
group open a bank account and establish a simple record keeping
system.
Monitoring and Evaluation -
Throughout the life of the project, the community group and the
PCV should monitor their progress towards the project's goals.
By continuing to monitor the project, the community organization
can make any adjustments necessary to ensure the ultimate
success.
For each SPA project, the group completes a final report which
reviews the project, determines whether the original goals were
met, identifies lessons learned and discusses benefits of the
project. While the final report may be written by the PCV,
recommendations and comments should be from community members.
