Origin
The word projectcomes from the Latin wordprojectumfrom projicere,"to throw somethingforwards" which in turn comes from pro-,
which denotes something that precedes theaction of the next part of the word in time(paralleling the Greek ) and jacere, "tothrow".
The word "project" thus actually originallymeant "something that comes before anythingelse is done".

Fail to prioritize selection ofprojects by their importance oftheir contribution to the firm.
Are not integrated throughout
the project life cycle. Do not match project planning
and controls with organizationalculture to make appropriateadjustments in support of projectendeavors.

Country Assistance Strategy
CAS approach aims boosting development.
A national strategy is prepared by the country, creating aframework for donors to better co-ordinate and aligntheir programs behind national priorities.
The Bank and other aid agencies then align their
assistance efforts with the country's own strategy. The CAS is produced in co-operation with the
government and interested stakeholders.
The preparation of the CAS may draw on analytical workconducted by the Bank or other parties on a wide rangeof economic and social sectors, such as health,education, agriculture, public expenditure and budgeting,fiscal management, or procurement, among others.
