After a project concept has been transformed into a full-blown proposal with a corresponding feasibility study, the concerned LGU has to further assess the acceptability, relevance and responsiveness of the proposal based on community needs and priorities. Usually, this task is done by local government officials. However, the ideal process for the assessment should include key people in the community - most particularly those involved in and affected by the implementation and operation of a proposed project.
To avoid a biased, tapered and disjointed manner of discussing and assessing a proposed project that may eventually lead to its unwarranted rejection or delay in approval or adoption for implementation, it is essential that people tasked to assess proposals are guided objectively.
This Technical Note intends to provide an objective guide in assessing PPP project proposals. It covers all the different aspects of feasibility. Sample yet essential questions are presented below to serve as basis for accepting or identifying areas where a project proposal could be best improved. As much as possible, proposals should not be unduly and absolutely rejected solely based on a negative response to any of these essential questions. Rather, the proposals may be revised and further improved so that they meet the appraisal expectations and requirements.
