I. Introduction (Time Frame: 10 minutes)
Does the Philippines we know today become what she is without ICT? Most people would argue that we are lagged when it comes to
technological advancements but that does not mean that we have not used what we have to our benefit.
For a moment, imagine the Internet has disappeared ad will never be back. What do you think will happen?
“You never miss the water until the well runs dry” and maybe the same saying goes for the Internet. How many times has your ISP deprived you of
your right to access the Internet? How many times have you been frustrated? But besides not being able to update what you had for dinner last night or
updating your profile picture, there are far bigger things this world would have missed without the internet.

Let us have a simple self-assessment. Write your answer in your activity notebook for future reference.
Based from your previous experience in organizing an activity, such as a birthday party or an outing, what do you prioritize the most? List down the
things you consider in planning an event.

How to Manage an Online ICT Project for Social Change

Developing an ICT Project for Social Change
To be able to succeed in the implementation of your ICT project, it is the team head or project manager’s responsibility to define the work and
assign the persons responsible for the work of the project to run smoothly, be finished on time, and w ithin the set budget. Project management is the
discipline of planning, organizing, securing, and managing resources for the successful completion of a task or project to meet specific goals and
objectives. The team should follow the stages of a project development and practice effective communication and brainstorming discussion on
development.

ICT Project Creation Process

An ICT Project for Social Change is only a small part of a scheme of an organization with a common interest. The ma in purpose of an ICT
project in the bigger picture is to offer a facility for easy dissemination of information, a platform for volunteers and the leaders of the organization.
Establishing the ICT project is a collaborative effort. It is not only for technical members involved, but also for the management and leaders of the
organization that will facilitate the appropriateness of the output in the overall purpose of the project. Because of this, the ICT development team
should ensure perfect harmony by considering all stakeholders’ requirements and including them in the outcome of the project. The group should
devise a careful and specific plan that will address the objective or goal of the project so that everything needed is included in the project. The
complexity of elements to be included should be minimized while keeping in mind the logical arrangement and completeness of functions of the
product. In order to create an ICT project, one must have the knowledge about the process involved in generating the so-called project. The process that
an ICT project goes through include the following:
1. Planning Phase – From the word itself, this phase involves conceptualizing the project, determining the goals, and analyzing the information
available.
2. Analysis and Requirement Definition Phase – This phase focuses on analyzing the function, project requirements, target users, and impact of
proposed project.
3. Design Phase – describes the architectural phase of an ICT project. The desired features and operation in detail , process diagrams, and
documentation are contained within this stage.
4. Testing Phase – This phase involves testing the results or the performance of every phase before it.
5. Release and Promotion Phase – encompasses the actual roll out and release of the project to be used by the users.
6. Maintenance Phase – This phase comprises the correction, modification, and updating for improvement of the project. Responding to user
feedback is also a part of this maintenance.

Writing a Project Proposal

Part of project planning is writing a project proposal which is a detailed description of the series of activities involved in the project. The
following are the essential parts of a project proposal:
1. Project Information / Description – This section is meant to provide an overall picture of the project that can be seen at glance as well as convey
important project details. It may include the following:
a) Project Title: (The title of the project)
b) Type of Project: (education-training/ health-medical mission/ art exhibit, etc.);
c) Project Proponent/s: (Name of organization/ name of the people involves);
d) Project Beneficiaries: (Urban poor, women, youth, etc.);
e) Date of Implementation/ Duration: (Start date/ number of implementation days);
f) Budget Requirement: (overall amount of budget requirement);
g) Project Contacts: (List of individuals involved with the project.)

2. Project Background – explains what needs/ problems you are trying to solve, and why these needs/ problems are worth solving. The project’s brief
history, references, and other supporting documentation may also be provided here.
3. Project Objectives – The goals of the project should already be set from the beginning.
4. Desired Impact and Outcome of the Project – describes the long-term effect of the project and specific measures to sustain it.
5. Risk Management Plan – it includes the risks and factors that may hamper or hinder the successful implementation of the project activities and the
achievement of project outputs. This also includes measures to mitigate the effects of project risks encountered.
6. Project organization and Staffing – describes the people involved and their responsibilities in the project. The following table may be used as a
template for this part:
7. Work Plan - a detailed project schedule. It is a list of tasks that will be performed for the project. The work plan is a means to expose the project’s
risks which could be used to make reasonable estimates of the man hours required to complete it. A milestone chart can also be used in this section to
monitor work progress at any given time.
8. Budget Requirement – A detailed, line-item budget that includes the cost needed for every part of the project. The following table may be used to
repeat budget requirement.
9. Other Relevant Information – includes any information that will support a request for funding such as brief enumeration of stakeholders’ pledge
and lined-up projects to complement the current.
10. Conclusion – a short summary that explains the potential value of the project. 11.Appendix – refers to additional charts, graphs, reports, etc. that
we are cited in the proposal, but were not appropriate to be placed in the main body of the document.
