Consultancy for Feasibility Study of PT-funded Project in Ukraine

 

Project Title: “Strengthening the social cohesion, economic and psychological resilience of internally displaced persons, returnees, women and girls.”    

 

AWO International from Germany is the Workers’ Welfare (Arbeiterwohlfahrt) Association for Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Action. The overall goal of AWO International’s work is to contribute to the improvement of peoples’ living conditions in a sustainable manner and to enhance their own initiative.

 

The aim of feasibility studies is to provide AWO International with a solid basis for enhancing the project concept by clarifying requirements, opportunities and risks, and offering guidance on optimising the concept, where necessary.

 

In particular, this involves an assessment of the feasibility of a project and a systematic review of the extent to which the project approach can plausibly achieve the planned improvements under the existing prevailing circumstances. The joint learning from the insights gained increases the effectiveness of projects and enables poor investments to be avoided at an early stage.

 

 

• An assessment of the project context (macro-, meso-, and micro level) including existing organizational structures (institutions, networks, etc.) in view of the key challenges the project seeks to address;

• An assessment of the likelihood to achieve the planned results with the proposed strategy, outputs and partner capacity;

 

 

• all aspects of the project concept including the results, targets and qualitative and quantitative indicators (base- and endline), the target groups, stakeholders and other actors, and measures and activities to implement;

• an adequate monitoring and progress review;

• and opportunities, synergies and risks.

 

The main users of the results of the study are AWO International for the formulation and implementation of a realistic, efficient, impactful, feminist and risk aware project. Meanwhile for BENGO / BMZ, the study will help facilitate transparent accounting for change value for money on investment.
