In the project identification stage, the need for the project is identified, available options to address the need are analysed and pre-feasibility studies are carried out to finalise the best option to address the need and check the prima facie feasibility of the project.
The project Identification stage answers the following questions:
1. Whether there is a pressing need for the project?
2. Whether all possible service delivery options have been considered for the project?
3. What goes into a pre-feasibility study?
