the first three phases of the basic program development process…
assessment
diagnosis
planning for community based programs
what does the community needs assessment include?
collection of facts
identification of needs

prioritization of needs
data that are already available
secondary data
data collected specifically for use in a program
primary data
a method of confirming the survey is usable to determine if people interpret questions as intended and to make sure that given answers include all possibilities

mission statement program goals program objectives program interventions program activities
what does the SMART formula stand for?
specific measurable appropriate realistic or related time bound
this is the focus and precision are essential is setting objectives. this eliminates confusion and allows easier measurement and documentation
specific
they must be easily assessed to gauge progress of the program
measurable
needs of the population group should be the central focus in the objectives of any intervention. the end result should be reasonably attainable
appropriate
achievable, yet challenging, objectives help motivate those involved in delivering the intervention. they should also be directly related to expected outcomes
realistic or related
it is essential that s timescale be specified to assess changes achieved. time frames can be for intermediate or end of program outcomes
time bound
the steps directly involved in the delivery of the intervention
direct activities
behind the scenes activities, required to carry out the intervention
indirect activities
a chart that lists target dates for completion of program activities
time line
what is one of the major reasons for program failure?
inadequate funding along with lack of resources
