Planning

Community health and development plans should be SMART (Specific,Measurable, Attainable, Realistic & Time-bounded).

Implementation

Project management is a significant component in the implementation/action phase.

Guidelines for

Managing Community Projects:1. A community project is a series of activities that are

designed to achieve a result that is beneficial to the group of people.

2. A community project demands that a certain performance be achieved for a fixed number of pesos and within a fixed period of time.

3. A community project must be divided into a number of activities which must be managed.

4. Managing a community project means using men, money, material and machines efficiently to achieve goals and objectives.

5. Community project goals and objectives must explain what will be accomplished and when it will be completed.

6. A community project cannot be a success unless the goals and objectives are clear to the people who will implement it.

7. A community project to become successful must be started, its resources organized, its work done and its progress checked.

8. A community project must have a good control system or monitoring and evaluation scheme.

Monitoring

It is an internal project activity designed to provide constant feedback on the progress of a project, the problems it is facing and the efficiency with which it is being implemented.

Evaluation

It is an assessment of whether or not the planned project strategy actually works in the filed and is therefore mainly used in the selection and design of future projects.

Uses of Monitoring & Evaluation (M & E) Data

1. Decision- makingM & E results may help determine

whether to continue a program or to add or frop a component

2. Assessment/ Improvement of PerformanceInformation's from M & E may be used

to identify points within a program.

3. Allocation of ResourcesAn analysis of a program may reveal

that one part of its strategy is successful while other is not.

4. Personal Development

Regular assessment of accomplishments/failures may determine the kind of training the staff needs. M & E also enables the management to measure the relative efficiency and effectiveness of the staff.

5. New Knowledge and

Understanding

Learnings/lessons are gathered from every success and failures that the program encountered.
