You may not be ready to include all of the sections listed here. Start with the information you have and add more as you go along. Try to be as comprehensive as possible. You may want to use a written report format, create a binder with dividers for each topic, or organize the information into a PowerPoint presentation. Choose a format that makes sense for you and your stakeholders. If you choose to compile your plan in a written format, you may use the sections for various purposes in the future (e.g., grant writing, writing an evaluation report) .  \nProgram Plan Checklist  \n\n| Title | x Name of the program and organization\u003Cbr>x Title of the program\u003Cbr>x Names (and organizations, if external) of the individual stakeholders involved in the planning process\u003Cbr>Comment: Avoid the use of acronyms in the title page. | 􀂈 |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Table of Contents | x Provide sufficient detail to guide the reader through the report, including page numbers.\u003Cbr>x Include boxes, figures, tables, and appendices. | 􀂈 |\n| Executive Summary | x State the vision for the program and the theory of change (if the theory of change is a visual only, do not include) .\u003Cbr>x Define the program goals and activities.\u003Cbr>x Describe the program planning activities (asset mapping, market analysis, needs assessment) .\u003Cbr>x Summarize the key program activities and partners.\u003Cbr>Comment: The executive summary should serve as a stand-alone component of the program plan because intended users of the plan may refer to the summary rather than the larger document.
