. DEVELOPING A HEALTH EDUCATION PLAN


Step 1: Manage the Planning Process
Purpose: To develop a plan to manage stakeholder participation,
timelines, resources, and
determine methods for data gathering, interpretation, and decision
making.
• Plan to engage stakeholders, including clients and staff;
• Establish a clear timeline for creating a work plan;
• Plan how you will allocate financial, material, and human resources;
• Consider the data required to make decisions at each step including
adequate time for
data collection and interpretation.
• Establish a clear decision-making process.
Step 2: Conduct a Situational Assessment
Purpose: to learn more about the population of interest, trends, and
issues that may affect implementation, including the wants, needs, and
assets of the community.
This involves identifying:
• What is the situation?
• What is making the situation better and what is making it
worse?
• What possible actions you can take to address the
situation?
• Diverse types of data: (e.g. community health status
indicators, stories/testimonials; evaluation findings; “best
practice” guidelines)
• Sources of data: (e.g. polling companies;
community/partner organizations; researchers;
governments; private sector)
• Data collection methods: (e.g. stakeholder interviews or
focus groups; surveys; literature
reviews; review of past evaluation findings or stakeholder
mandates/ policies)
Step 3: Identify Goals, Populations of Interest, Outcomes,
and Outcome Objective

Purpose: to use situational assessment results to determine


goals, populations of interest, outcomes, and outcome
objectives.

Ensure program goals, populations of interest, and outcome


objectives are aligned with strategic directions of your
organization or group: goal: a broad statement providing
overall direction for a program over a long period of time.

• population(s) of interest: group or groups that require


special attention to achieve your goal

• outcome objective: brief statement specifying the desired


change caused by the program
Step 4: Identify Strategies, Activities, Outputs, Process Objectives, and
Resources
Purpose: To use the results of the situational assessment to select
strategies and activities,
feasible with available resources, that will contribute to your goals and
outcome objectives.
• Prioritize ideas by applying situational assessment results
• Identify specific activities for each strategy
• Select outputs and develop process objectives
• Consider available financial, human, and in-kind resources.

• Brainstorming
• Group discussion
• Demonstration
• Roleplay
• Drama
• Case studies
• Traditional media
B. Formal methods:
• Conference
• Workshop
• Seminar
• Panel discussion
• symposium

step 5: Develop Indicators


Purpose: To develop a list of variables that can be tracked to assess the extent to
which outcome and process objectives have been met.
• Define indicators to measure each outcome and process objective
• Perform quality check on proposed indicators ensuring their validity, reliability,
and accessibility
• Indicators are used to determine the extent to which outcomes and process
objectives were met
For each outcome and process objective, consider the intended result and whether:
• Intended result can be divided into separate components
• Intended result can be measured
• There is an appropriate time for observing the result
• Requires data resources are accessible

• The resources needed to assess the result are available


Step 6: Review the Program Plan
Purpose: to clarify the contribution of each component of the
plan to its objectives, identify gaps, ensure adequate
resources, and ensure consistency with the situational
assessment findings.

between all programs and a way to communicate a program

• Review the plan whether:
‣ Strategies effectively contribute to goals and objectives
‣ Short-term objectives contribute to long-term objectives
‣ The best activities were chosen to advance the strategy
‣ Activities are appropriate to the audiences
‣ The resources are adequate to implement the activities
