Classification of Project
1.2. Classification of Project
There arethe different basis to classify the projects. Projects can be classified as under:
A. According to the source of fund
i. Private sector project
The private sector bodies are responsible for the development and sponsor of the project. Examples- RB complex, Kathmandu mall, Apartments etc. Government sector project
ii. Government sector project
In developing country government is the major sponsor of projects. These are the basis of government developing plans. Examples- Road construction, school, health etc.
iii. Grant project
Investment in grant projects is not repaid by the government to the donor agencies.
iv. Loan project
Investment in loan projects is repaid by the government to the donor agencies.
B. According to foreign aided project
i. Joint venture project
The project is funded through the collaboration of foreign and local investors. They are based on ownership sharing. Also, they involve transferring of capital, technology, management. Example- Maruti-Suzuki.
ii. Bilateral project
The project is funded from the financial resources of the friendly donor country. Examples- JICA, KOICA.
iii. Multilateral project
This project is funded from the financial resources of multilateral agencies such as World Bank and Asian development bank. They are generally funded through loans. All UN agencies are multilateral.
C. According to Techniques
i. Labor intensive project
This project is labor based. Human labors are extensively used for implementation of the project.
Advantages
- More employment generation.
- Utilization of resources.
- More production at the cheaper rate.
Disadvantages
- It cannot be applied for the long run.
- No possibility of improving skills.
- Low capital formation.
ii. Capital Intensive Project
This project is technology based. Technology represented by machinery and computerization is extensively used for implementation of the project.
Advantages
- Applied for the long run.
- Technology transfer.
- Ease in capital formation.
Disadvantages
- Required huge amount of capital.
- Imbalance distribution of income in society.
- Centralization.
D. According to function
i. Disaster prevention projects.
ii. Development project.
iii. Service sector project.
iv. Research related project.
v. Environment-friendly projects.
E. According to scale and size
i. Mega project
A project involving huge investment and of relatively long duration (5 to 10 years) is called mega project. These projects require EIA. Example- Upper Karnali hydropower project.
ii. Major project
It is smaller in size and also less complex than the mega project. Example- Middle Marshyangdi hydropower project.
iii. Medium project
It is small in size than the major project. Examples- Khimti hydropower project. This project requires IEE (Initial Environmental Examination).
iv. Small project
It is the smallest project in size and also of short duration. Example- Manang hydropower.
v. Micro project
It is smaller than the small project and managed by community-based organizations. Example- Ghandruk micro hydropower project.
F. According to time frame and speed
i. Normal project
Normal time allowed for project implementation.
ii, Crash project
