INTRODUCTION
This is the annual

report on the Small Project Assistance Program
(SPA), a collaborative program between the Agency for International
Development (AID) and Peace Corps (PC).

The purpose of this
report is two
fold. First, it serves

as a means of reporting on the activities made
possible under the SPA

Program, both field projects and Washington
spon
sored program and training consultancies. Second, it allows
for an
exchange of information on individual SPA projects.
The format for the report follows the original report, June
1984, and
subsequently includes all

SPA projects and technical assistance
since the beginning of the program.
Please note that future provided
reports will
only include new projects started and/or received after September

Since the information on previous projects will not be reproduced 1, 1985.
entirety, you are encouraged to keep this report for future in its
reference.
Please note that information in the section on project summaries

con
tains only those projects for which we have received completed
Activity Agreements. Completed reports not included in this Individual
be forwarded to Peace Corps Washington, OTAPS for inclusion report should

The Small Project Assistance Program (SPA) started in January of 1983
with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the Agency

International Development and the Peace Corps.
Since that time,
for
34 countries have negotiated Country Agreements to participate in the

SPA
-rogram, each administering a fund of $40,000 per year, which supports
small community projects.
The original criteria for country participation in the SPA program was
that a Peace Corps and a USAID adminstrative relationship exist in the
country, and there be at least 10 Volunteers serving in the country.
The
following 34 countries are currently participating in the SPA Program:
NANEAP Inter-America Africa

Morocco Belize Benin Liberia
Nepal Costa Rica Botswana Malawi
Philippines D.R. Burkina Faso Mauritania
Thailand E. Caribbean Cameroon Niger
Tunisia Guatemala C.A.R. Senegal
Yemen Haiti Gambia Sierra Leon
Honduras Ghana Swaziland

SPA FIELD PROJECTS
The SPA Program is decentralized by design

-- a fast funding mechanism
for community projects. As such it is administered by PC/AID in-country.
Individual
project requests are submitted to Peace Corps and upon approval
are forwarded to AID for funding. The qualifying criteria for SPA projects
are intentionally broad, establishing parameters within which countries

may
approve individual projects. The criteria is 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 $i0,000.
3. It must involve development in the broad areas of food, energy,
small enterprise developement and/or income generating activities.
4. It must not
encourage reliance on U.S. assistance.
5. The project must be conceived and implemented in conjunction with

a
local community organization or group.
All approved projects are summarized by the community and Volunteers

on
an
Individual Activity Agreement (IAA).

IAAs are forwarded to Peace Corps
Washington, where they are abstracted and classified, as to the primary
program impact area.
-1
The SPA program impact areas are restricted to the following:
1. Food Production/Income Generation

2. Income Generation
3. Food Production
4. Energy
5. Health (A new program impact area as of FY86)
This annual report contains the abstracted summary of all completed

projects since the beginning of the SPA Program. To date over 700 projects
have been funded for more than $ 1,980,000.00. Forty-four percent (43.5%)
of the projects were designed to increase iood production and included an

income generation component. An additional nineteen percent (19.3%) of
the total funded activities has supported efforts to introduce income
generation schemes outside of the agricultural sphe_=. Chart I summaries

ANALYSIS OF SPA FIELD PROJECTS
Food Production Projects/Income Generation: Overall, projects designed
to address food production/income generation made up the largest percentage
of approved SPA projects. Given the importance of food production in
Africa, it is not surprising that the Africa Region had the largest percen
tage of food/income projects, with roughly half of their SPA projects being
related to food production/income generation.

It is, however, interesting
to note that Africa had the highest average cost per project.
Chart II: Percentage of Food/Income Generating Projects and Average
Cost per Project by Regions
Region % of SPA Projects Average Cost/Proj.

AFRICA 50.2% $ 4068.76
NANEAP 35.8% $ 1260.69
IA 35.8% $ 1893.22
Income Generation Projects:

In the Africa and IA Regions, income
generating projects, not tied to food production, were the second largest
category of approved SPA projects. IA had the largest number of projects
with the lowest average cost per project, while NANEAP had the fewest pro
jects but the highest average cost per project.
Chart III: Percentage of Income Generating Projects and Average

IA
29.9% $ 2988.39
AFRICA 15.4% $ 3094.10
NANEAP 10.0% $ 4309.72
-3
Food Production Projects: The percentage of strictly food production
prnjects was small in all three regions and the cyst per project was
roughly the same. In many countries food production projects are closely
linked with income generation and are therefore classified as
food
prod/income projects. This may account for the seemingly small number of
food production projects.

Chart IV: Percentage of Food Production Projects and Average
Region %of SPA Projects Average Cost/Proj.
IA 13.5% $ 2809.31
NANEAP 11.7% $ 2085.03
AFRICA 10.7% $ 2339.66
Energy Projects: Energy related projects constitute the smallest

category of approved SPA projects - overall 5.7%. Of interest is the rela
tively high cost of energy projects in NANEAP and low cost in IA. The
types of projects differ considerably, in that NANEAP countries have done
more solar energy projects and IA more fuel conservation. See the section
project summaries for more information on individual projects.
Chart V: Percentage of Energy Related Projects and Average

Region % of SPA Projects Average Cost/Proj.
IA 6.7% $ 1364.37
AFRICA 5.8% $ 3193.17
NANEAP 3.9% $ 5834.51
Other Projects: The classification of "other" is reserved for those
projects which do not strictly fall within the approved program impact
areas. These projects constitute 14.6% of all SPA projects, with NANEAP
having the largest percentage of 28.9%, Africa following with 14.2% and IA
having the smallest percent of other projects 7.5%. Although these
projects are valuable community projects, more empnasis should be placed on
approving those projects which are within the or'ginal SPA program impact
area.
No Classification: This is a temporary category containing those pro

jects for which there is little to no information relating to the impact
area. Some counLries submit a quarterly report of approved projects, but
have not submitted completed activity reports for all of the projects, there
fore we have a current record of the number of projects and the amount
spent but no information as to the nature of the project. These projects
will be recl3ssified once individual activity reports are received.

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
In addition to the SPA fund, AID provides money through
Agency Services Agreement (PASA), for technical assistance a Participating
(TA)
countries. The purpose of Technical Assistance is to stimulate to SPA
and support
the development of field based small projects through program
consultations and/or specifically targeted in-service technical
for Peace Corps staff, Volunteers and host country nationals.
training
Technical Assistance is now offered to 40 countries.

It is admi
nistered by PC/W in coordination with the Regions.
On
a quarterly basis, a
committee reviews all of the TA requests and informs the
country of the
action taken.
While the SPA/TA Review Committee attempts
to fund all
requests, limited funds may prevent this.

In light of the
increasing number
of requests, it becomes more and

more important for countries
to submit
clear, concise, and complete requests.
To assist countries in submitting their requests, the following

guide
lines were developed. The information is designed to be
used as
either a
guide to writing requests or as

a checklist prior to submitting
them.
GUIDELINES FOR REQUESTING TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE+
** Think of a TA request as if it were a proposal and follow

the basic
principles of proposal writing:
o Plan before you write

- Work out as much detail to
your request as possible. This will ensure that you
have thought of all possible costs, resource
requirements, and potential benefits.
o Be concise, brief and logical

- Requests need not be
lengthy but they need to show all
components and the
logic used in planning for the activity.
o Be complete -
As noted above, without all the
facts, your request cannot be given fair con

sideration when competing for limited funds.
+ For a sample see Appendix III
-5
**Include the What, Who, When, Where, Why
o Describe the Activity
1. Tell us exactly WHAT you want. Indicate if you

want:
a) a consultant to come and conduct a program eva

luation or, assist with program modification,
b) a trainer to conduct or design an IST,
c) funds to cover travel to a workshop/conference,
d) funds to cover an in-country workshop/conference.
e) funds to cover staff visits to neighboring
country for consultancy/exchange
f) other
2. Identify WHO will participate in the activity
and how many are expected. Indicate if the par

ticipants will be:
a) PCVs only (what sector)
b) HCNs and PCVs (what sector and HCNs' rela

tionship to PCVs)
c) PC staff
d) Ministry Officials
3. As much as possible pinpoint WHEN the acti

vity will take place and its duration.
4. Identify WHERE the activity will take place.
Is it:
a) Out of country (where?)

b) In the capital
c) At the PCVs site
d) Through out the country (try to identify how
many site visits would be involved)
o Explain the Expected Benefits from the Activity (WHY)
1. Provide brief background information which will
help us understand the importance of the acti

vity and why it is needed at this time.
-6
2. Highlight the outcomes you expect. Will the acti
vity result in:
a) New program directions

b) Skill enhancement on the part of participants
(what skills?)
c) Development of new SPA projects
d) Introduction of new technology/methodologies

(what are they?)
e) Improved relationships with HCN counterparts and
or Ministry Officials
f) Increased level of technical knowledge (what
type?)
g) Other
** Include all of the estimated costs for the activity.
o Itemize the Costs
1. For travel costs include:
a) PCV/HCN counterpart transportation

b) Consultant transport from Washington to country
c) Consultant in-country transportation

2. For per diem show daily amount (using in-country
rates) times number of days of the activity.
3. For trainers and/or consultants use an average of
$18 0/day for their salary times the number of
days work required for the activity (figure a 6
day work week, Mon-Sat).

4. For conferences and workshops, indicate if there
is a tuition or entrance fee.

5. For training programs identify special materials
which will be needed (if known at time of
request), and any rental or purchase costs.
6. Show a total for the activity.
7. Indicate what,
if any, of the total will be
covered by country agencies and/or PC.
Know what the review committee is looking for
-7
o Criteria used in reviewing TA Requests is broad and
meant to ensure that requests support and/or stimu

late SPA projects and are well thoughtout by the
countries. The major criteria are:
1. Relevance to SPA activities.
2. Contribution of PC in-country.
3. Previous level of TA assistance to country.
4. Distribution of resources across all regions.
o The Committee is looking for evidence that the
country staff have thoroughly planned for the

requested activity.
o The Committee tries to maximize the benefit of each
activity. They are, thereFore, looking for ways to
institutionalize the information/skills covered in
the activity. As a result they do not give top

priorty for requests to send PCVs and/Staff to
workshops/conferences outside the host
country,unless it can be demonstrated that the con

ference offers unique information which cannot
otherwise be covered in-country. When funds permit
these requests are usually funded as long as the
format and content of the conference is seen as
appropriate for PC participation.

SPA EVALUATION AND AGENCY PLANS
The SPA Program was originally undertaken as an experimental

program
and as such was evaluated to:
1) review the management of the SPA program in the

2) assess

field,
the impact of the program or, both agencies,
3) determine
the relative success and/or failure of SPA projects
and
4) assess
the effectiveness of the Peace Corps' use of SPA/TA
funds.
-9
The evaluation conducted by Creative Associates and Benchmarks, Inc.
documented an overwhelmingly postive regard for and use of the SPA
Program. It showed that "SPA provides an essential tool for community
development and that it contributes greatly to Volunteer work
satisfaction". While copies of the evaluation have been forwarded to Peace
Corps and AID missions, the following briefly highlights the major
findings.
Management of SPA:
FINDING - The decentralized nature of the SPA Program management

generally works very well and should be continued.
PLAN - PC/W will continue to support the decentralized nature by
providing more communication about and exchange of
"successful field projects" and "things to avoid".
FINDING - Clearer guidelines should be provided to the field on the
disbursement of SPA funds.
PLAN - Updated guidance was sent to the field July 1985.
FINDING - AID should allow a small portion of SPA funds to be used to
augment the PC staff capability for effective SPA program
management.
PLAN - As this would involve a change in the present AID/PC

understanding, which precludes the use of any SPA funds for
administration, there are no plans to change this restriction
on SPA funds. Further consideration will be given to this
finding.
FINDING - Funds available for the SPA program be doubled, that the pre
sent "formula" level of $40,000 per country be retained, and
that additional increases be based on requests from indivi
dual countries, performance to date in use of SPA funds, the
number of Volunteers and the level of poverty in the country
in question.
PLAN - AID and PC will explore the possibility of removing the
$40,000 ceiling on the country program and allowing each
country PC and AID posts to negotiate an appropriate
funding level. Any increase would be based on available
funds and AID country budget requests.
FINDING - A majority of AID and PC staff favor including Health and

Education projects eligible for SPA funds.
PLAN - Health has been added as one of the SPA program impact areas,
as of Sept. 1, 1985. AID has made 1.5 million dollars
available for country field project in health over the next

two years. Subsequent funding will be based on an evaluation
of the first two years.

Discussions are underway regarding the inclusion of Education
as an SPA program impact areas.
-10
FINDING - Peace Corps should take steps to provide periodic
information
to all posts
on conmon pitfalls and promising practices.
PLAN - PC will establish a written form of communication, to and
from the field, pertaining to SPA projects.
FINDING - There is a need to design and implement a simple system

to
determine whether SPA projects are a success or failure and

to learn from these experiences.
PLAN - PC will solicit examples of evaluation methods used by field
staff and develop a suggested model for evaluating SPA pro

jects.
FINDING - Peace Corps training must prepare Volunteers to use

SPA funds
in appropriate ways that encourage rather than hinder com

munity responsibility and initiative.
PLAN - Training materials covering the appropriate use of external

assistance, project design and implementation, are being
developed. Field testing of these materials will take place
during Oct. 1985.

FINDING - The annual
briefings called for in the McPherson-Ruppe
Letter
of Understanding which created SPA program were neither
requested by AID nor provided by the PC in any of the
countries visited.
PLAN PC/W will reiterate the importance and need for informtional
exchanges and provide some examples of how these exchanges have
been conducted in various countries.
Impact on AID and Peace Corps:
FINDING -
The sentiment of AID, PC staff, and Volunteers was
that SPA
contributed to the Volunteers effectiveness, job satisfac

tion, and was
worth the additional work. Disadvantages and
risks noted that the SPA Program could have serious disadvan
tages IF it were

not handled properly by the Volunteers.
PLAN - The training models will

address the potential problems and
risks associated with the SPA Program.

They will train
Volunteers and Staff in how to a)plan with a community group,
b) write proposals, and c) manage projects.

In addition they
will address the philisophical issues of handling funds and
working in community development.
SPA Projects:
FINDING
- The evaluation surnnarizes projects and identifies
things
which may indicate the likelihood of success, i.e., size,
community contribution, and advance planning.
-11
PLAN - This type of information will be included in a brochure which
is being developed. The information brochure covers general
description of SPA, how it works at the community level and
things to know prior to starting a SPA project.
SPA/TA:
FINDING - SPA/TA should be designed in-country as much as possible.
PLAN - To continue supporting the field requested TA, while also

assuming more responsibility to initiate training sessions
and consultancies which have been useful or appear relevant
to specific countries.
FINDING - Field staff should be encouraged to use SPA/TA funds to hire
locally available technical resource people.
PLAN - Continue to support this type of TA request and include it as

sample TA requests to consider.

FINDING - Information should be shared among all countries about how
SPA/TA is being used, and its availability.
PLAN - Include SPA/TA information in the "SPA Exchange".
FINDING - Field staff should be consulted prior to selecting a con

sultant for techical assistance.
PLAN - Continue this practice when arranging TA consultancies.
FINDING - There should be greater coordination between AID and PC at
the country level in using SPA/TA.

PLAN - Encourage this coordination and provide examples of such
exchange in the "SPA Exchange".
FINDING - SPA/TA funds should be used more frequently to assist
countries to improve their management of the SPA program

itself.
PLAN - Provide TA consultants to work with staff and Volunteers in

designing, implementing, monitoring and evaluating small com
munity projects. A staff training model is being developed to
increase staff skills in project planning and management.
This model will be available for individual countries and for
regional programing conferences.
FINDING - The Advisory Group now guiding the use of SPA/TA in
Washington should be given clearer responsibilities and
power.
-12
PLAN -
Two groups h~ve been established. One being the SPA/TA
Review Committee, including all

sector specialists, regional
representation, and AID representation.

This group meets
quarterly to review the SPA/TA requests and identify
appropriate resources for approved requests. The second group

the Sub-Committee of the AID/PC Coordinating Committee, is a
working group which addresses policy recommendations and
changes in the SPA Program.
THE ROLE OF THE VOLUNTEER IN A SUCCESSFUL SPA PROJECT
Success of an SPA project is determined by

The process of a community working together to more than the end product.
address an
identified need,
is as much a part of the success as the end result.
Successful SPA projects should enhance a community's ability to

nize, plan, make group decisions, and result in the community being orga
more
confident and able to transfer these organizational and technical
skills to
other tasks. PCVs play an important role in helping to ensure
project is successful. By assuming the role of a "facilitator" that an SPA
rather than
a "doer" of the project, a PCV helps to transfer technical skills,

enhance
leadership capacity, and increase self-reliance.
PCVs whu have worked with SPA projects have identified the following
as
factors
that help to facilitate the accomplishment of the project
ensure t"at the process of skill transference and organizational and to
develop
ment occurs.
Ownership of the Project A successful project is owned by the

community
organization. While a PCV brings skills that can help the community
to
define a problem, identify a solution, access resources, and implement
the activity, the community must consider it their project. A
clear
danger sign is if a
PCV finds s/he is the only one working on
the pro
ject or begins to identify the project as "mine" rather than the
com
munity 's.
Problem Identification A successful project addresses a clearly

defined
problem, one that can be broken down to basic causes. A PCV's
analyti
cal skills can be extremely useful in helping the community to
identify
possible causes of a problem and thereby 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 help to identify whether the shortage is

by poor seeds, inadequate water supply, poor soil, insufficient caused
nical skills, pests, lack

of labor, poor harvesting techniques, tech
Once the problem and the causes
have been identified, the projectetc.
stra
tegy becomes clear to everyone.
Planning Successful projects depends on
thorough planning before
implemen
tation. PCVs can help in the planning process by introducing
simple
planning tools and asking clarifying questions. The community
group,
however, needs to be involved in and take responsibility for the
planning.
-13
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 new and/or improved technical skills
related to the project.

The transfer of skills during this trainirng is
essential for the long term success of the project.
The Proposal The content of a proposal should come from the community
organization whenever possible. Some countries translate proposal forms
so as to
increase community members understanding and participation in
submitting the pro-posal. PCVs

can be extremely helpful in organizing
and writing a clear proposal.

Record Keeping SPA projects are funded with government money and must,
therefore, be accounted for with proper receipts and vouchers.

Again
the PCV may be more knowlegable about these procedures and can be of
assistance to the community group.
Before a project request is sumbitted arrangements are to be made for
handling the project money.

Ideally, money is paid directly from AID
to local
vendors for materials and supplies. 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, if one does not exist
already.
Volunteers have found that setting up a checking account which requires
co-signatures ensures open and responsible disbursement of the project
funds.
Monitoring and Evaluation Throughout the life of the project, the community
group and the PCV should monitor their progress towards the projects
goals. By continuing to monitor the project, the community organization
can make any adjustments necessary to ensure the ultimate success.
For each SPA project, a final report which reviews the project to see
whether the original goals were met, identifies lessons learned and
discusses benefits of the project. While the final report may be writ
ten by the PCV, recommendations and comments should be from community
members.

tion of 4 new well s and the deepening of 2 existing ones in
the village of Nguessine. This is necessary due to the
current drought, which has forced the villagers to use water
from the well of the collective garden. This has created a
serious draining of that well's resources. Since the garden
projects have been quite successful in providing income as
well as enriching the village's food supply, these will be
expanded. SPA funds will be used for materials and for the
