1. Planning
 |  |  |  |
Programme planning lays the essential groundwork for building a sustainable project or series of initiatives. Planning is about bringing the right people on board, building relationships, and ensuring that program goals are appropriate to the community setting. It involves working with stakeholders to think through the outcomes you want to achieve and how they can be realistically delivered.
Planning is also about:
- choosing the appropriate interventions,
- identifying resources,
- making local connections,
- agreeing on the focus and design of the programme.
This stage will, to a large extent, shape everything that follows. There are two main steps in programme planning:
Assessing the community's needs and resources The first step in programme planning is to understand and work with the community affected by your proposed plans and to include other interested stakeholders... This section provides useful tools for analysis. |
Creating a Plan for the Programme A useful way to formalize and describe the proposed programme is through the creation of a Log Frame that in turn will inform and shape a more detailed Programme Plan. This section will enable you to create a Log Frame and write your Programme Plan. |
