1. Participatory Planning and Implementation Eillen V. Raganas NSTP Facilitator

2. Learning Objectives Identify the importance of participatory planning and implementation; Discuss the different concepts of participatory planning; and Apply the steps in participatory planning.

3. SOCIAL PLANNING Includes the areas of health, education, housing and social welfare. It aims to improve the quality of life and the standard of living of a particular minority group in a community e.g. poor, women, children, disabled and indigenous people. ASSESSMENT Means to gauge the impact of a community project on the social development of a community. CONCEPTS

4. Planning is the process of anticipating goals or targets and then preparing a plan for reaching them. It is a process which should be participated in by those involved in implementation such as community stakeholders, policy-makers and the development worker.

5. Participatory Planning PARTICIPATORY PLANNING is the process of laying out the course of actions needed to attain a set of socio-economic goals. It resolves community issues or problems by giving concerned community members the chance to identify problems and propose solutions.

6. Reasons for Planning Rex Skidmore outlines the reasons for planning as follows: Efficiency – this means to achieve the goals with a minimum of cost and effect; Effectiveness – this means to achieve the desired result which is to help people in need; Accountability – Planning is needed for evaluation and accountability to the public, to families and to the clients; Morale - Every staff member needs to understand exactly what to do and how to do the job. These can be achieved

7. PRINCIPLES OF PARTICIPATORY PLANNING Development should be seen more as a change from the bottom-up than the top-down; The development process should be managed naturally rather than mechanically, i.e. unduly focused on plans, goals, objectives, targets and schedules. It should be flexible; The development process should also strengthen local organizations and local government bureaucracies. A community program should be chosen according to its ability to enhance local development.

8. Principles of Participatory Planning The development process should be supported by local institutions with the villages, primary cooperatives, religious and youth groups and community-based and self-help associations playing a major roles; The development process must be based primarily on confidence-building and learning rather than on expertise and training.

9. LEVELS OF PARTICIPATION Typology Results 1. Passive People are told of what will happen or is taking place. 2. Information-based People answer a survey team’s questionnaire (no follow-up). 3. Consultation-based People answer a questionnaire defined or designed by “outsiders”, i.e. non-community members. 4. Incentives-based People work for cash, food or other incentives. 5. Functional Participation Decisions by “outsiders” and interest groups are synthesized to meet objectives. 6. Interactive Joint analyses , decisions and action plans are made, implemented and monitored by interest groups. 7. Self-mobilization Initiatives are taken independently from official institutions.

10. Definition of Project Is described in the Webster’s Dictionary as a planned undertaking. The initial step is to identify the specific acts that must be taken to meet a set of objectives. The next is to lay down the project as reflected in the acts to be taken.

11. ELEMENTS OF PROJECT Objectives - this element describes what the project aims to do and what the project is for; Boundaries – this element specifies the scope and limitations of the project; Location - this element identifies where the project will be implemented;

12. ELEMENTS OF PROJECT Target beneficiaries – this element states who will benefit from the implementation of the project; Duration – this element determines the schedule of the project, i.e. when the project will be implemented and when it will end; Budget - this element itemized the expected expenses that the project will incur upon its implementation; Methodology – this element indicates the approach or manner by which the project will be implemented.

13. PROJECT DEVELOPMENT CYCLE Identification Preparation Implementation Evaluation

14. Identification – a potential project design is organized after adequate consultations with the different stakeholders of the community; Preparation – the planner determine how and when a chosen project will be implemented; Implementation – the project is carried out by the planners and the local community members based on an agreed-upon timetable; Evaluation - the planners and the community members determine whether or not the project objectives have been met.
