Introduction
The Small Project Assistance Program (SPA) is a collaborative
effort of the Agency for International Development (AID) and
Peace Corps (PC). The SPA Program began in January of 1983 with
the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the two
agencies. Since that time, 37 countries have negotiated Country
agreements to participate in the SPA Program, each administering
a fund which supports small community projects.
Countries participating in the SPA program have an administrative
relationship with a USAID post in the country, and have at least
ten Peace Corps Volunteers serving in the country. The following
countries have participated in the SPA Program:
Africa Inter-America NANEAP

Benin Kenya Belize Morocco
Botswana Lesotho Costa Rica Nepal
Burkina Liberia Dominican Philippines
Faso Malawi Republic Sri Lanka
Burundi Mali Eastern Carribean Thailand
Cameroon Mauritania Ecuador Tunisia
Central Nig2r Guatemala Yemen

SPA Field Projects
The SPA Program provides funding for community self-help
projects. Peace Corps and the USAID mission in each country
review and approve individual project requests for funding.
Project criteria are as follows:
1. The activity must be scheduled for completion within one
year of its implementation.
2. The estimated contribution of SPA funds toward completion
of the activity must not exceed $10,000.
3. It must involve development in the general areas of food
production, energy, small enterprise development and/or
income generation, or health.
4. It must not encourage continued reliance on external
assistance.
5. The project must be conceived and implemented in
conjunction with a local community organization or group
After Peace Corps and USAID approve a project, the community and
the Volunteer complete an Individual Activity Agreement (IAA),
and forward it to Peace Corps/Washington (PC/W). This project
summary is then abstracted and classified according to the
primary program impact area.
SPA program impact areas are defined as the following:
FP/IG - Food Production/Income Generation
SED/IG - Small Enterprise Development/Income Generation
FP - Food Production
Energy - Energy
Health - Health
All health projects must also relate to one of the following:
Diarrheal Diseases and Immunization
Oral rehydration therapy (ORT) for infants
Immunization of infants and young children
Malaria and vector biology control
Maternal health care
Nutrition
Growth monitoring of infants and young children
Breastfeeding, weaning or Vitamin A
Water supply and sanitation
Health Education (materials
development/adaptation/research)
The Role of the Volunteer in a successful SPA Project
Success of an SPA project is determined by more than the end
product. The process of a community working together to address
an identified need is as much a part of the success as is the end
result.
Successful SPA projects should enhance a community's ability to
organize, plan, and make group decisions. The PCV can play an
important role in this process by acting as a "facilitator"
rather than as a "doer". In this way, the Volunteer can convey
technical skills while increasing leadership capacity and self

reliance within the community.
PCV's who have worked with SPA projects have identified the
following as factors that help to

facilitate the accomplishment
of the project and ensure that the process of skill transference
and organizational development occurs.
Ownership of the Project -
A successful project is owned by the community group.
While a PCV brings skills that can help the community to
define a problem, identify a solution, tap resources, and
implement the activity, the community must feel that it owns
the project. A project is in danger when a PCV finds that
s/he is the only one working on the project, or is
identifying the project as "mine".
Problem Identification -
A successful project addresses a clearly defined problem,
one that can be broken down to basic causes. A PCV's
analytical skills can be extremely useful in helping the
community to identify possible causes of

a problem and to
select the most appropriate solution and implementation
strategy. For example, a community may know that they have
a shortage of grain. The PCV, using a problem solving
approach, can assist in identifying whether the shortage is
caused by poor seeds, inadequate water supply, poor soil,
insufficient technical skills, 'ests, lack of labor, poor
harvesting techniques, etc. Onac the problem and the causes
hdve been identified, a useful project strategy can be
developed.
Planning -
Successful projects depend on thorough planning before
implementation. PCV's can help in the planning process by
introducing simple planning tools and by asking clarifying
questions. The community group, however, needs to be
involved in and take responsibility for the planning.
Implementation -
Projects which have significant contributions from the
community, both in-kind and financial, are more likely to
succeed. During the implementation phase of a project a PCV
may be instrumental in training participants in technical
skills related to the project. This transfer of skills
is essential for the long term success of the project.
The Proposal -
Whenever possible, the content of a proposal should be
composed by the community. This may mean translating the
proposal form in order to ensure understanding and encourage
involvement among community members. The PCV can be
helpful by assisting with the organization and writing of
the proposal.
Record Keeping -
SPA projects are funded with government money and must
be accounted for with proper receipts and vouchers.
The PCV may be more knowledgeable about these procedures and
can be of assistance to the community group.
Before a project request is submitted, arrangements are to
be made for handling the project money. Program funds for
materials and supplies should be paid directly to local
vendors. In some cases, however, this is not possible, and
cash advances must be given to the community group. A
Volunteer may help the community group open a bank account
and establish a simple record keeping system.
Monitoring and Evaluation -
Throughout the life of the project, the community group and
the PCV should monitor their progress towards the project's
goals. By continuing to monitor the project, the community
organization can make any adjustments necessary to ensure
the ultimate success.
For each SPA project, the group completes a final report
which reviews the project, determines whether the original
goals were met, id2ntifies lessons learned and discusses
benefits of the project. While the final report may be
written by the PCV, recommendations and comments should be
from community members.

Technical Assistance
In addition to the SPA Project funds, the Participating Agency
Services Agreement (PASA) provides money for Technical Assistance
(TA) to SPA countries. The purpose of Technical Assistance is to
stimulate or support the development of field based small
projects through program consultations and specifically targeted
in-service technical training for host country nationals,
Volunteers and Peace Corps staff.
The SPA office currently offers Technical Assistance to 40
countries. PC/Washington, in coordination with the Regions,
administers the funds. Regional and technical specialists from
AID and PC staff review all of the TA requests on a quarterly
basis.
During FY '87, SPA/TA supported 93 activities at a total cost of
$997,000, benefitting 880 PCVs, 1091 HCNs, and 238 Staff
members. This represents a 30% increase in beneficiaries over
FY '86. Africa Region received 53% of the total assistance,
Inter-America Region received 29%, and NANEAP received 18%.
This assistance included the delivery of Project Design and
Management Workshops in 6 countries for staff, PCV's and HCN
counterparts. The workshops are designed to support the
develop1ient of small, community self-help projects. Workshop
goals are to: 1) increase awareness of the importance of
community involvement in project planning and implementation,
2) introduce project management tools, and 3) examine the
appropriateness of using external assistance in community
projects.
Guidelines for Technical Assistance Proposals
To assist countries in preparing their requests, Technical
Assistance Proposal guidelines have been developed to be used
either as a guide to writing requests or as a checklist prior to
submitting them.
Follow the basic principles of proposal writing:
* Plan before you write
Work out as much detail to your request as possible. This
will assure the reviewers that you have thought of all
possible costs, resource requirements and potential
benefits
* Be concise and logical
Requests need not be lengthy, but they do need to show all
components and the logic used in planning for the
activity.
* Be complete
Without all of the facts, your request cannot be given
fair consideration when competing for limited funds.
In your description of the activity, include the WHAT, WHO, WHEN,
WHERE, AND WHY
* Tell us exactly WHAT you want, and how it supports
community self-help efforts.
* Identify WHO the participants and beneficiaries will be.
* Try to pinpoint WHEN and WHERE the activity will take
place.
* Explain the expected benefits of the activity - WHY?
Provide some background information to explain the
importance and timeliness of the activity. Highlight the
outcomes you expect. What impact will the activity have
on SPA projects?
Include all of the estimated costs for the activity. Indicate
costs that are covered by other sources.
