Setting objectives

 * 1) SMART
 * 2) Put a system in place and evaluate it…
 * 3) Is there such a thing as bottom up planning?
 * 4) When do you contact the community? When you have the money? Or after?

Finding focus

 * 1) You must start with a felt need
 * 2) Establish a strategic direction (compass)
 * 3) Want to see something coming out based on local needs, but also in line with “donor” needs so that you can get funding; challenge to achieve the balance
 * 4) COL has priorities but we don’t tell what to do
 * 5) Align with frameworks, stakeholders, other groups, e.g. nat’l AIDS policy, national and local organisations who are working in teh same area
 * 6) The needs will be identified: tech is there and applications are identified
 * 7) Is there an unmet need?
 * 8) What is it?

Finding resources and making the programme sustainable

 * 1) How will it be sustainable?
 * 2) Variable sustainability
 * 3) Mchinji is funded by the DHO
 * 4) Palpa was funded voluntarily by the teachers and then the radio itself; the idea was mooted to raise funds from parents
 * 5) Science for Women (India) was funded by the Ministry; can the stations step in and fund it?


 * 1) What is meant by sustainability
 * 2) SEE LINKS
 * 3) None of SW's programmes are free - are they unsustainable? SW's programmes are NOT planned to be ongoing; in many instances two years is enough
 * 4) Social and institutional sustainability

Monitoring

 * 1) Must be ingrained in the planning process
