Evaluation of social projects II. Stage of project formulation

Once identified the needs of populations, will need to develop an initial idea of what should be the social project to develop …

Previous: Design Programs and Projects

In this article, we examine the stages of project development, especially social, as mentioned in the preceding article.

1. Environment

The first stage of project formulation is clear and precise determination of the district, region, city, region or country for which it is formulated the program or project,

The failure to define the geographical area leads to errors in operational, administrative or financial.

2. Diagnostic

The second major phase of an assessment of the situation on which you want to intervene.

The diagnosis should be emphasized on the major issues and needs facing the people

The detection of requirements can make or amend both the design of existing services, such as the delivery system of institutions and set priorities for new programs or existing programs.

To develop a program or project is necessary to know the situation in which they act:

1.

Understanding the real needs presented by the project influence area.
   2.

The offers of goods and services available that can be obtained to help resolve apparent needs.

The diagnosis should begin with the analysis of the situation that is going to plan, this begins with a detailed description of the situation, trying to be as neutral as possible and consistent with the reality studied.

The data provide a description should be subjected to an explanation which would go back to the root causes of the situation, to develop further analysis of the description, accept or not to reach a full understanding of the scenario that will face when the project develops.

3. The third stage consists in identifying the problem or problems given the analysis of the situations encountered.

After the description and identification of the problem situation, we proceed to pose a problem to define exactly what the problem to solve, investigate or INTERVENE from diagnosis.

The question that is realized or intervention research undertaken, must be clear, concrete and operational.

4. Theoretical formulation of the problem and formulating goals

Is to determine what type of methodology will be used to solve the problem or question and then determine a specific action goals.

The objectives of a program or project are the central focus. Its formulation or choice depends on the specific goals being pursued or want to achieve.

An objective is something to be achieved in a particular way in space and time and involves the effort to be undertaken and the means to be used.

Overall objective:

It is the formulation of those goals late, late that they will follow the program or project, for example, “Reaching a level of 100% education in the region XXXXX – in less than two years, with resources available … XXXXX

The conceptual formulation of the objective must be logically consistent with the problem, so that denote adequacy and feasibility by solving the problem.

Specific Objectives:

Are the formulation of those intermediate targets, which will strengthen the development of the ultimate goal.

The formulation of specific objectives should be clear, specific, so that these objectives are to specify the tasks to develop under development in logical and chronological order.

With each specific objective should be to exhaust the activities and tasks that are planned in the schedule and project time horizons. The orderly and timely implementation of these is definitive in setting up and development of the program or project.

This concludes the formulation, in the next installment will talk about the feasibility of the project …

The organizations, living things in society

The need of each human being to associate, raises organizations. These social units are synonymous with performance and profit in today’s world present.

Who on earth could live alone or without the assistance or collaboration of somebody?. You could say that anyone and if there is one able to perform this “feat” would be doomed to spend their days enjoying the beauty of life. Being in constant interaction, is an activity that affects all human beings.

In an organization’s success depends on all the activities consistent and coordinated by a group of people, for that reason, if there is a real empathy and a sincere desire to help yourself and others, that the union will be achieved within A company is synonymous with profit and achieving goals.

Within an organization, an individual can meet many needs whether physical (the desire to perform an activity), emotional (feeling that you are doing something good and productive), economic (to earn income for their work) , etc. That is, goals are achieved in isolation would be difficult to achieve. Also within a company can move up and go getting increasingly important goals.

The organizations are present at any time in our lives. When we go to a bank to appropriate money, when we go to class at college when a friend visited the hospital or army barracks, where we attended a church or when we go to the supermarket to buy the necessary supplies for the week. That is, organizations are an integral part of the environment where we develop in every way.

Individuality: There are two organizations are alike, each one has details that make it different from others in terms of size, technology, organization, activity, environment in which to develop both internal and external strategies for achieving results

A characteristic of the companies, as well as ours, is that there are no two alike. Each has details that make it different from others in terms of size, technology, organization, activity, environment in which to develop both internal and external strategies for achieving results, and so on.

These institutions or social units exhibit changes as you reach goals or objectives. They can restructure or redefine their actions according to the proposals made and discover the best means for achieving them. It depends on the proper environment where the enterprise.

Within an organization, there are as we said before, as are individual interactions between two people or systems of any kind. That is, an activity is determined by the other. Each individual receives and gives an answer as the relationship has been given.

There are also interactions between individuals and the organization, where both sides interact with each other and are looking for a dynamic equilibrium with the environment. This relationship is very important that information flow in every way to perform an activity better.

The organizations are changing systems that must always be at the forefront of the environment that are having at one point

There are also interactions between the organization and other organizations to achieve either of raw materials, equipment, resources, etc., Or for product placement, advertising activities, financial, etc.. The relationship with other companies is crucial for the growth of the parties involved and generated flows of information, communication, and benefits. When Coca-Cola uses a company that will assist in the advertising, for example, there is a mutual benefit and each company will pursue its objectives in the best way.

Another type of interaction is that between the organization and their environment. This point is very important because a company must study very well their environment to succeed and develop their business. It is not prudent, for example, establish a buying and selling cars in the poorest region of Africa. It is necessary to establish the needs and characteristics of the environment where it will establish a company for their benefit and that of the whole society.

Just as each of us has a purpose in life, organizations also have or yours. The way to achieve, therefore, is through plans to be implemented in the most fair and appropriate. If we have no idea where to go, it is safer to let ourselves be carried away by others and not what you want but they want more.

These are the companies that should determine what is to be achieved, how it is going to do, what resources will be counted and the ideal time in which they will develop all necessary activities to achieve those purposes, will be successful and recognized both in business and socially.
