Approval stage<br />
PROJECT APPROVAL<br />
6.1 According to the project cycle, approval comes after appraisal. This is logical as approval is<br />
normally based on the results of appraisal. There are various approving bodies, the details of which<br />
follow in the succeeding paragraphs. Simply, "approval in principle" does not entitle the<br />
sponsoring agency to execute a project. In fact "approval in principle" needs to be qualified by<br />
mentioning clearly to what extent and <strong>for</strong> what purpose the approval in principle is required.<br />
6.2 Where approval has been given to a project with certain conditions, it has to be ensured by the<br />
executing agency that those conditions are duly fulfilled, especially those which have to be<br />
fulfilled prior to the execution.<br />
