ProPack I was first published in 2004, and this update comes after a decade of use. A 2013 user’s survey found that ProPack I was appreciated as an important resource for project design. Many users requested that it be revised with a greater focus on how to conduct project design, including practical steps and tools. Users also suggested that the revised ProPack I better integrate gender considerations, align with complementary business development guidance—such as Technical Application Guidance (TAG)  and Cost Application Guidance (CAG)—and include specific guidance on budgeting and on planning for project management structures and staffing, among others.
