Major Strategies Identified

Increasing the coverage of services Improving employee morale Increasing visibility and networking Finding additional sources of funding

Evaluation of StrategiesStrategy Acceptability Sustainability Feasibility

Increasing the coverage of

services

- the organization is open

to expansion

- the community is also

fairly receptive to the

programs of EnFance. The

members of the

community may also

highly welcome any new

programs.

- may be sustainable if the

organization’s manpower

can adequately handle the

expansion

- the community may

engage at the start but

there is still the possibility

of the community losing

interest

- feasible given that it is

sustained

- feasibility also dependent

on resources (materials for

the programs, funding,

etc.)

Improving employee

morale

- may be highly acceptable

as this can further improve

work output

- may be sustainable as

long as the organization is

open to it and there is

adequate funding for it

- feasibility also dependent

on funding and availability

of programs that improve

morale (ex. training

programs)

Increasing visibility and

networking

- may be acceptable since

the organization already

has ties with some

organizations

- sustainability is highly

dependent on funding

-feasible as long as efforts

to publicize are covered

financially

Finding additional sources

of funding

- could be acceptable as

long as ties with current

source of funding

(InterAide) is preserved

- could be sustainable as

long as there is someone

actively seeking out more

sources of funding

- sustainability is also

highly dependent on the

source of funding

- feasible as long as there

are existing sources of

financial support who are

willing to help out
