Conduct an assessment of specific needs/ gaps, and potential opportunities

• What are the major needs of the domestic private sector?
• How do needs differ by “segment” or other sub-group (e.g., industry, region, etc.)?
• How are needs currently being met?
• What are the priorities of the relevant government entities?
• What special requests has the government made?
• What are the potential/ emerging opportunities for UNDP?
  

Determine project focus

• Whom will the project target?
• What are the potential interventions and what is their impact?
• How does potential impact differ by target segment?
• Are there sufficient resources to carry out the desired interventions?
• What is the potential for leveraging the needed resources?
• Determine desired interventions based on impact, resources required and ease of implementation
  

Determine fit of project with other PSD interventions

• What current projects exist nationally (UN system and other donors, government, other development partners)?
• Is the suggested intervention complementary to, or duplicative of, other proposed or existing projects?
• What is UNDP’s specific advantage in undertaking this project?
• What projects exist in related areas (e.g., governance) which can provide appropriate “entry points” for domestic PSD interventions?
