PLANNING IS A SKILL
Good strategic planning gets people excited about their organization. Finding out what people think and need, researching great ideas from staff and communities can be an exhilarating experience…
…if you know what you are doing.
WE MAKE YOUR PLANS USEFUL
Development Action thinks good strategic plans are:
- easy to read, accessible by staff and boards alike
- useful documents that help managers
- well informed with “unknowns” clearly highlighted
- REALISTIC, and attuned to the purpose and strengths of an organization
- well written with proper structure that links directly to yearly operational plans and monitoring and evaluation plans
WHEREVER YOU ARE IN YOUR PLANNING, WE CAN HELP
Development Action can help in a variety of ways:
- helping identify the “unknowns” that hinder planning and designing solutions, such as surveys, focus groups or training
- facilitating planning sessions with boards and focus groups
- undertaking community research to fill in knowledge gaps and analyzing the results
- talking objectively to donors, communities and customers
- guiding the drafting of a plan so that it is useful
- assessing existing plans to help overcome deadlocks
