A project profile is a simplified description of an eventual project. In addition to defining the purpose and ownership of the project, it presents a first estimate of the activities involved and the total investment that will be required, as well as the annual operating costs and, in the case of income generating projects, the annual income.
There are a number of key parameters should be considered for a project
profile. These are- the level and nature of the demand; the relevance of supply
constraints; the definition of project operations; and the types of costs involved.
