PREPARATION OF COMMUNITY ACTION PLAN

ACTION PLAN
 Ensures that an organization’s vision is made concrete.
 It depicts how the members of the community utilize strategies to achieve their
objectives.
 List of action steps that will be implemented in the community are prepared to the
attainment of a project’s vision.

Purposes for Preparing an Action Plan:

 To demonstrate that a community is organized and committed to accomplish the tasks
planned.
 To ensure that details are carefully examined.
 To make people realize what is feasible and not in the community.
 To save time, energy, and resources due to efficient planning.
 To develop responsibility among members.
Preparing an Action Plan
 Select an appropriate and attainable goal.
 Clearly define your objectives.

⇩
Brainstorming with team members also can help create a stronger plan of action.  Some
members of the community who can be invited for brainstorming are the following:
 Influential people such as church, school or political leaders
 People who are directly involved in the problem (such as victims of abuse and their
parents)
 Potential volunteers
 Members of ethnic and cultural groups in the community
 People who display interest about the problem or issue.

⇩
Once the invited members of the team are already present, the following points can be
discussed:
 Vision
 Objectives
 Mission
 Strategies
 Targets and agents of change (e.g., youth, parents and guardians, clergy)
 Proposed changes for each sector of the community (e.g., schools, community,
service organizations, health organizations, government)

⇩
Examine the agreed action step by the group, and identify if the following points are
considered:
  What actions will be implemented?
 Who will implement these actions?
 When and how long will the actions take place?
 What resources (i.e., money, staff) are necessary to implement the action steps?
 Who should be informed about the actions that will be carried out?

⇩
Determine who is responsible for each action step and identify people who will assist in the
process.

⇩
Prepare a clear schedule to accomplish the action steps.  List the resources that are needed
to complete the action steps.

⇩
Review the action plan prepared and note for possible updates or modifications.  Identify if the
action plan prepared is:
 Complete: All action steps that are necessary are included in the list.
 Clear:  The people who are responsible for executing the actions steps are well
indicated, and other important details are included.
 Current:  it is in accordance with the present situation of the community. 

⇩
Communicate with the key people involved in the planning the progress of the action plan and
the effects of its implementation.

⇩
Celebrate one’s accomplishments.  This will motivate the people involved in the planning to
become more excited and interested in effectively and efficiently doing the steps in the action
plan.

1. Determine the importance of developing an action plan.

Developing an action plan can help change makers turn their visions into reality, and increase efficiency
and accountability within an organization. An action plan describes the way your organization will meet
its objectives through detailed action steps that describe how and when these steps will be taken.  

2. Explain the steps in creating an action plan.

First we should know what is our goal, the resources needed, and what is our desired outcome,
then we should list down the steps or procedures of our plan, and then we should ask help to
others that can help you achieve your goal, then we should have a target date so that we will
work hard on our specific goals in creating an action plan
3. Prepare one's action plan.
