Assignment 2
Outline challenges associated with mainstream project cycle management models in agricultural projects. Discuss the alternative approach suggested by Hart, Beukes and Hart (2005).
To answer this question, you need to go through study unit 2 (p14-25) of your study guide and then p110 -127 of your reader. These are the main references you should use.
Part 1 of the question: Outline challenges associated with mainstream project cycle management models in agricultural projects
First and foremost, it is important to understand the meaning of the word outline. I encourage you to go through tutorial letter 301/4/2015 for a clearer definition of the word, and what is expected of you.
In this regard, you are required to give the main features or general principles of a subject, leaving out minor details and emphasising structure and relationship.
In answering the question, I suggest you highlight the mainstream project cycle management models found in your study unit and indicated their challenges as outlined in case study 1 found in your reader.
Part 2 of the question: Discuss the alternative approach suggested by Hart, Beukes and Hart (2005).
The key word is Discuss. The word discuss, requires you to consider a matter from various points of view and give supportive evidence.
The suggested approach is in your reader and is the Participatory Project Management Cycle model.
I suggest that you draw it and briefly describe its stages and also indicate why it is/is not “preferred”.
Remember to use other relevant materials to strengthen your answer.
