RE: FUNDING PROPOSAL
I am pleased to submit this proposal from the ABC Company Limited, requesting a funding investment of Ksh. 8,000,000 to help start publishing of a water project. This grant will provide part of the funds needed to start and run this water project as one of the programmes of enriching the Uasin Gishu county and its outskirts, spiritually. These funds will cater for the startup capital.
The lack of basic commodities such as water in the area is a main concern for different stakeholders for especially the people in the rural areas. Even where water is available, a continuous supply of the same in necessary to support the livelihoods of the people. Water in the rural areas is used for drinking, farming and for other purposes including construction. Unfortunately, there are cases of wide spread cholera in the area due to unclean water.
The ABC Company is willing to invest in providing clean water to the residents of Uasin Gishu area. The ABC Company of Kenya will provide the platform for clean and safe water to the residents of Uasin Gishu County. The ABC Company’s head offices will be at Uasin Gishu County.
Unfortunately, ABC Company cannot fully afford the starting and run this water project including its operations and the equipment’s needed to accomplish its goals. Working in collaboration with you, the ABC Company will be able to start this project to overcome the rising demand to stop cholera from spreading in the region.
Please feel free to call us if you have any questions or would like us to arrange a site visit. We look forward to meeting with you soon.
Yours Sincerely,

WATER PROJECT MONITORING AND EVALUATION PLAN
1.0 Executive Summary
The proposed ABC Company Limited will be run and managed by ABC management team as a registered company that intends to upgrade its operations of clean and safe water provision. The water project intends to stimulate local employment and wealth creation in Uasin Gishu County. The water project intends to be one of Uasin Gishu’s main health sub-sectors that will contribute to economic growth through expanding both small and large scale use of clean and safe water by improving water effectively and maintained water sources.
This water project initiative intends to benefit the following stakeholders: the farmers (mainly large farmers and smallholders who produce the crops and rare animals). The development of this water project in Uasin Gishu County has tremendous potential partly due to the fact that the County ranks among the leading counties in Kenya in terms of cattle population. The development of a local water project in Uasin Gishu County is likely to help farmers by providing more water for their livestock.
The water project intends to create a variety of technical and skilled job opportunities in Uasin Gishu County ranging from selectors of materials, quality controllers, mechanics, and unskilled casual laborers.
Additionally, the water project is to be of benefit to all the residents of Uasin Gishu County in that it will enable them access water that is clean and safe for use at their homes. The water project aims at bringing a significant improvement to the economy of Uasin Gishu County. The number of business in Uasin Gishu County will be able to tap water from here to be used in the business activities around the area.

4.0 Keys to Success
Taken together, precision, accuracy, representativeness, completeness, and comparability comprise the major data quality indicators used to assess the quality of the program’s data.
* Precision is the degree of agreement among repeated field measurements of the same indicator and gives information about the consistency of your methods. It is typically defined as relative percent difference, or RPD.
* Accuracy is a measure of confidence that describes how close a measurement is to its "true" or expected value.
* Representativeness is the extent to which measurements actually represent the true environmental condition. Parameters, site selection (including location of sampling point within the water column), time, and frequency of sample collection can all play a role in determining how representative a sample is.
* Comparability is the extent to which data can be compared between sample locations or periods of time within a project, or between different projects.
* Completeness is the comparison between the amounts of valid or usable data the program originally intended to collect versus how much was actually collected.
Precision is often evaluated in the field by participants taking duplicate measurements for at least 10% of samples, where applicable.
Most sampling sites are selected to be representative of the water body (or in the case of hotspot monitoring, of the pollution source of interest). Sample collection timing and frequency is selected to capture data that are representative of target conditions (e.g. a range of water levels, weather, seasons, etc.).
The comparability of the data collected can be assured by using known protocols and documenting methods, analysis, sampling sites, times and dates, sample storage and transfer, as well as laboratories and identification specialists used so that future surveys can produce comparable data by following similar procedures.
Project monitoring should attempt to maximize the completeness of the dataset. At least 80% of the anticipated number of samples are typically collected, analyzed and determined to meet data quality objectives for the project to be considered fully successful. In the end, however, any quality-controlled data are usually considered useful in some way. A report detailing the number of anticipated samples, number of valid results and percent completion (number of valid samples/number of anticipated samples) for each parameter is typically produced.
5.0 Background Information
5.1 Locality Background
Eldoret is a town in western parts of Kenya. It is the capital and largest town in Uasin Gishu County. Lying south of the Cherangani Hills. The population was 289,380 in the 2009 census, and it is currently the fastest growing town in Kenya. It is also the 2nd largest urban centre in Midwestern Kenya after Nakuru and currently the 5th largest urban centre in Kenya.
The name Eldoret is based on the Maasai word "eldore" meaning "stony river" because the bed of the nearby Sosiani River is very stony.
