 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.
 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.
 LESSON

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.
 LESSON
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.
 LESSON

Once you’re done reading some

related researches, you may
now start writing your project
proposal following the
suggested parts:
 LESSON

II. Project Background / Situation Analysis
Street children are minors who live and survive on the streets. They
often grow up on public landfills, train stations, or under the bridges.
According to 2015 report of Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), there
were 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.
Because of this situation, the “Youth for the Nation” has decided to
propose the project “ACT4KIDS” that will help street children be acquainted
with their rights through executing various activities that they will surely
enjoy this summer vacation.
