PROGRAM

PLANNING
 SUMMARY:
• Program Goal – Where you are headed?

• Program Objectives – Incremental steps you need to get

there

• Contributing Factors - obstacles

 DEVELOP AN
INTERVENTION
• MAIN TASKS:
 Determining your health strategy
 Researching evidence based interventions
 Comparing Interventions
 Selecting an intervention to adapt or create
 DEVELOP AN
INTERVENTION
• Determining your health strategy
 A general plan of action for affecting a health problem
 Coherent with the program goal, program objectives and
contributing factors
 3 Types:
 Behavioral/ Educational
 Environmental
 Policy
 DEVELOP AN
INTERVENTION
• Determining your health strategy
 Behavioral / Educational
 designed to change the awareness, knowledge, attitudes, and/or
behaviors of community members
 targeted towards the community as a whole or individuals
 Example: Advertising campaign of second hand smokers
 DEVELOP AN
INTERVENTION
• Determining your health strategy
 Environmental
 to alter the physical or social environment.
 Example: decrease access by removing cigarette vending machines
from public buildings
 DEVELOP AN
INTERVENTION
• Determining your health strategy
 Policy
 focuses on influencing change in the broader regulations,
ordinances, rule enforcement, and decisions on resource
distribution
 Examples:
 Prohibiting smoking in government buildings
 Policy on Tobacco Excise tax, Sin Tax
 HEALTH PROMOTION
STRATEGIES
• Counselling and Skill Development
 working with people – either one-to-one or in groups to help
them develop the knowledge and skills they need to improve
their health and to provide the ongoing support that their
clients may need to have more control over their lives

• Education
 simplest form: fact sheets, brochures, newspaper and
magazine articles, and television programs that help people
become more knowledgeable about health
 seminars and workshops that professionals organize
 general programs offered by a range of health-related and
nongovernmental organizations that may help people develop
the skills to understand health information and act on it.
 HEALTH PROMOTION
STRATEGIES
• Social Marketing
 campaigns that use traditional marketing tools and
techniques, such as advertising campaigns, slogans and logos
to influence attitudes and encourage social change

• Self-help / Mutual Support

 people directly affected by poverty or illness or who care
passionately about an issue develop a sense of their own
power, control and influence and help themselves and others
improve health.
 HEALTH PROMOTION
STRATEGIES
• Community Mobilization & Development
 communities mobilize and work together to improve health
through projects
 to help people change behaviors.
 To attack the root causes of poor health, including poverty
 Organizations that work to help communities mobilize
usually act as a catalyst

• Health Public Policy

 efforts to influence policies, operating procedures, by-laws,
regulations and legislation that have a direct impact on
health
 DEVELOP AN
INTERVENTION
• Researching evidence based interventions
 To gain the support your program will need.
 Cost effective to implement
 Can save time and resources during planning and
implementation
 Evidence-based intervention that successfully achieved its
objectives, will bring more confidence that the intervention
you develop will also be successful.
 DEVELOP AN
INTERVENTION
• Comparing Interventions
 To determine how well the intervention matches your
program and organizations:
 Target Audience
 Goals
 Culture
 Cost
 Organizational Capacity

• Selecting an intervention to adapt or create

 To Adapt - more efficient and cost-effective
 To Create - no current evidence-based intervention that fits
 Consider:
 Leadership Support
 Feasibility
 Resources
PROGRAM TITLE
• Convey the meaning, the area of intervention and the
goals of the project while being enticing

• Give a general idea of what the project is about

• Make you curious about the project and prompt you to
read more and to participate in it

• Not be descriptive, but allusive

• Catch people’s attention because of a play of words or a
reference to movies, books, popular culture etc.

• Be simple and straightforward (avoid overcomplicated

titles)

• Be memorable.
 PROGRAM
IMPLEMENTATION

• Identifying and addressing potential barriers to

implementation
• Developing a work plan to ensure you achieve the
objectives

• Developing a communication plan to ensure project

members and stakeholders are kept informed
 PROGRAM
IMPLEMENTATION

• Identifying and addressing potential barriers to

implementation
 To modify the intervention if necessary.
 To gain support of stakeholders
 Determine ways to address them
 Consider thinking the following:
 Availability of resources
 Time involved in planning and implementing the program
 Political support of the program
 Economics
 PROGRAM
IMPLEMENTATION

• Developing a work plan to ensure you achieve the

objectives
 Tool you can use to achieve your objectives within the time-
frame specified.
 Develop a work plan in any format, for example, using a
Gantt chart in MS Excel™ or MS Project™
 Work Plan should answer the same key question:
 What is the project deliverable?
 What activities and tasks need to be completed?
 Who will be responsible for each task?
 What resources (i.e., money, staff) are needed to carry out
eachtask?
 When will each task take place, and for how long?
 PROGRAM
IMPLEMENTATION
• Developing a communication plan to ensure project
members and stakeholders are kept informed
 To communicate progress with project members and
stakeholders
 To gain support of stakeholders.
 Should answer the following questions:
 What needs to be communicated?
 Who is the target of the communication?
 What is the purpose of the communication?
 How often should is the communication needed?
 What is the method or location of communication?
 Who is responsible for creating or delivering the communication?
 When should this communication take place?
 PROGRAM MONITORING &
EVALUATION
• MONITORING
 The regular collection of information about all project
activities
 Shows whether things are going to plan and helps project
managers to identify and solve problems quickly
 An ongoing activity that should be incorporated into
everyday project work.

• EVALUATION
 Measures whether the project is achieving what it set out to
do, and whether it is making a difference
 SUCCESSFUL: To understand how and why the intervention
has worked so well
 UNSUCCESSFUL: questions are raised as to what could
have been done better or differently
 PROGRAM MONITORING &
EVALUATION
• Indicator Development
 Means of assessing the changes or results produced as a
result of an intervention.
 Development of good indicators requires clarity about the
purposes of interventions
 Should therefore be directly related to the goal, objectives
and activities set out in intervention planning
 Variables such as attendance rates, the proportion of people
with knowledge of a certain subject, and infection rates,
which can be tracked over time to define and measure
change.
