ABSTRACT

This paper describes the planning process for family planning programs, and discusses some of the problems

involved. Planning refers to reliable, deliberate, systematic and comprehensive decision-making about program

activities and goals; planning must include a qualitative description of intended processes, and of quantitative

targets in terms of program achievements. In short, planning requires the full-time attention of specially skilled and

trained individuals. Program objectives must be identified before planning, the 2 main objectives being fertility

reduction and the improvement of maternal and child health. In the selection of task specification and description

planners need to consider alternative tasks and strategies to carry them out; qualitative plans should, whenever

possible, be translated into quantitative targets to reduce the influence of subjective judgement. Targets should

never focus too much on short-term considerations, and target setting should depend on and contribute to program

related research and evaluation. Evaluation should be involved even at the very beginning of the program, and should

consider both qualitative and quantitative components. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT7T 3054-06)
