Introductory Message

For the Facilitator:

Welcome to the Reading and Writing Self-Learning Module on The Project Proposal.

This Self-Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed, and

reviewed by educators from the Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its
Officer-in-Charge Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A.
Agustin, in partnership with the City Government of Pasig through its mayor,
Honorable Victor Ma. Regis N. Sotto. The writers utilized the standards set by the K

 RECAP

You’ve learned from the previous discussion that research is a

systematic way of finding solutions to a specific problem. Whether the
research is published or not, it is imperative that findings should be
disseminated through a research report.
A research report is a reliable source that presents the details or
findings of a previously conducted research. The various sections of a
research report are: title, abstract, summary, introduction, methodology
research results and discussion, conclusions and references.
Today, we will be discussing another type of academic writing.

To start, analyze the illustration below. Then, answer the questions that
follow.

1. What environmental issue is manifested in the picture? Are you

bothered with this? Why?
2. Identify the root cause of this problem.
3. If you were to propose solutions to address this concern, what would
these be? How do you intend to go about these?
 LESSON

In every issue or problem there would always be corresponding

solutions to combat it. However, there are proposed solutions that need
enough funding in order for these to get implemented. Thus, eyeing for
potential sponsors is a must.
The proponent of the proposed solutions should properly and
professionally lay down the details to the prospective donors through project
proposal.
A project proposal is a detailed description of a series of activities
aimed at solving a certain problem. It is a document which you present to
potential sponsors or clients to receive funding or get your project approved.
For example, if you want your literacy program for out-of-school youth to be
approved for implementation or even funded by the appropriate agency, a
project proposal must be presented.
A project proposal should be carefully planned. In the planning stage
the following questions are helpful: Why are you proposing the project? How
will you be doing it? When and where will it be done? How much will it cost?
After answering these questions, you need to search for relevant
information from books or journals in the library or in the internet related to
your project.
Once you’re done reading some related researches, you may now start
writing your project proposal following the suggested parts:

I. Project Description
This part conveys the gist of the entire proposal to the authorities
who have to take a decision. It must contain all the information in brief.

 Project Title (PROJECT TITLE)

 Type of Project (education, health, sports
arts exhibit, etc.)
  Project Proponent/s
 Number of Beneficiaries
 Location of Beneficiaries

Street children are minors who live and survive on the streets. They often

about 1.5 million street children in the Philippines and most of them were subjected to
problems such as drugs, malnutrition, human right violations, human trafficking,
sexual exploitation, prostitution and child labor.

through executing various activities that they will surely enjoy this summer vacation.

activities.
