Definition of Planning
- Planning is the process of making thoughtful and systematic decisions about what needs to be done, how it needs to be done, by whom, and with what resources.
Key Questions in Planning
- What will be done?
- When will it be done?
- Where will it be done?
- Who will do it?
- What resources are required?
Purpose of Planning in Health Education Programs
- Planning allows matching resources to solve the problem.
- Planning aids in efficient resource utilization.
- Planning helps avoid duplication of activities.
- Planning helps prioritize needs.
Principles of Planning in Health Education Programs
- Plans should consider the needs and context of the community.
- Basic needs and interests of the community should be considered.
- Plan with community involvement in the implementation of an activity.
- The plan should be flexible, not rigid. Modifications can be made as needed.
- The planned activity should be achievable, considering financial, personnel, and time constraints of available resources. Avoid unachievable activities.
Steps in Planning Health Education Programs
- Needs assessment (first and most important step) includes identifying and understanding health problems and their causes in the community.
- Three Types of Needs Assessment:
- Health Needs Assessment: Identify prevalent health problems in the community (malaria, TB, HIV/AIDS, diarrhea, etc).
- Resource Needs Assessment: Identify needed resources to address identified health problems and examine if any resource/material shortage prevents healthy practice.
- Community Needs Assessment: Include information about the number of people per household, their age, and economic characteristics and local community groups; assessing their impact.
- Assessment Techniques:
- Observation: Watching and recording events as they happen; understanding community cultures, norms, and values in their social context (including hidden behaviors).
- In-depth Interviews: Exploring individual beliefs, practices, experiences, and attitudes in detail (direct personal interviews).
- Key Informants: Interviewing community leaders, cultural leaders, religious leaders, or people with lots of experience in the community to learn more about the community.
- Focus Group Discussions: Group discussions (6-12 people) with a facilitator to discuss health problems in detail.
Lesson Plan

- Serves as a legal document that indicates a plan is in place and shows the extent of progress toward implementation.
- Gives the teacher a sense of direction in relation to the syllabus.
- Helps the teacher to be more confident and prepared to deliver the lesson.
- Useful for future planning and allows the teacher to plan lessons that meet the diverse needs of their students.
