DESIGNING PROJECTS IN A RAPIDLY CHANGING WORLD

Step 5 Review how resources are to be allocated
to the different RAPTA components in the current
phase of the project cycle
A review of the RAPTA component requirements will
inform proper budgeting for the application of RAPTA
• Ensure that adequate resources are allocated to
each RAPTA component, particularly the Engagement
and Governance and Learning components.
Step 6 After applying other RAPTA components:
Revisit and revise Scoping to reflect learning from
other RAPTA components
• After applying the RAPTA process, revisit the
• project goals and scope, and
• stakeholders who should be involved in each
component of the next project phase.
3.1.4 What this component will produce
By the end of Scoping, it is expected that you will
have:
• A clear statement of the aspirations and goals of
the project
• A preliminary undertanding of the project area, its
problems and potential opportunities within national
and regional contexts
• A list of potential stakeholders to consult or include,
and possible governance structures
• An understanding of relevant past and current interventions
in the project area and how this project
might complement or replace them
• An understanding of the resources required to
apply RAPTA.
