c. NSTP PROJECT CESARs’ FRAMEWORK The description of the life cycle of a project, commonly found in business theory and stretching from the start of planning to the conclusion of project activities is taken as an aid for PROJECT CESAR managerial acti action ons. s. The The PROJ PROJEC ECT T CESARgoes goes thr through ough phas phases es of identifica identification tion,, concept conception ion and implemen implementat tation. ion. During During thi his s pro project ject cycl cycle e, NSTP STP faci cillitat itato ors and exte xtens nsiion coord coordina inato tors rs regul regular arly ly perfor perform m task tasks s entail entailed ed from from the above-listed functions. The The st stage ages s which which the PROJE PROJECT CT CESARgoes through in the course of its implementation build on one another: the ideas concerning what objectives are to be reached and how they form into a system are outlined before any deci decisi sio on can can be taken on wha what in inpu putts are requir quired ed.. Before deciding to implement a PROJECT CESAR activity and provide the necessary resources the cornerstones of a projec projectt concept concept must must be in place. place. This This indica indicates tes the the transition between phases or the conclusion of a specific phase by the phrases: “objective system clarified”(identification phase), “project plan elaborated” (con (conce cept ptua uall phas phase) e) and and “p “prrojec ojectt purp purpos ose e achi achiev eved ed” ” Page 12 of 25
(implementation (implementation phase). The individual project project planning planning steps are geared to this logical system. (German Technical Technical Cooperation, 1996, p.5) The entire process is linear but has many feedback loop loops s in whic which h to revie eview w the the anal analys yses es,, pl plan anni ning ng and and decisions made or re-examine re-examine them in more detail, in line with with expe experi rien ence ce gaine gained. d.

All other decisi dec isions ons to too, o, mu must st be regu egular larly ly revie re viewed wed and modified mod ified if they prove pr ove to be ine inexped xpedient, ient, no long lo nger er ap appl plic icab able le,, or wh when en th they ey ar are e up fo forr ren enew ewed ed agreement. All in all, hard and fast decisions should be kept to a minimum expedient for a given situation, and plans only be held as valid until new findings make it necessary to revise them.
