Characteristics of Good Proposal

A good proposal should be readable, well-organized, understandable and grammatically correct.  Your proposal should clearly explain how the proposed idea made improvements.

Based on my understanding, I listed some of characteristics should a proposal should have.

    • Describe an idea to solve problems in new ways
      • Identify the general and specific objective precisely
        • Rationale costing. Budget should be realistic.  It should be consistent and complete without unambiguous

                      • Paginated from beginning to end including the appendix
                        • Use appropriate graphs and figures, charts and other visual materials
