Programme Planning

Program planning involvesidentifying the most

critical needs of clientele,

projecting needs of clientele

knowing our ability to respond to clientele needs

planning and delivering programs to

address needs,

evaluating the outcome of our

efforts

reporting that outcome

back to partners, stakeholders, and

constituents

Basic steps of program planning

Needs assessment and goal identication allows

extension programming to be guided by societal

needs.

Statewide initiatives result from prioritizing local and

state needs assessments.

Determining objectives is the process of analyzing the goal

statement and breaking it into workable parts around which programs and activities are

developed.

Extension programme

The situation in which the people are

located;The problems that are a part of

the local situation;The objectives and goals of the local people in relation to these problems;

andThe recommendations or solutions to reach these objectives on a long-time basis (may be several years) or on a

short-time basis (may be one year or less)

Planning

The basic concept of planing appears to be well accepted in our culture.

It is regarded as an integral and important dimension of our culture's rational value orientation.

Rational value orientation assumes a conscious systematic approach to

problem solving, i.e., problem denition, data gathering and choosing between

alternative ends and means on the basis of predetermined criteria.

Assumptions on Extension Planning

Planning change is a necessary prerequisite to effective social progress

for people and communities

The most desirable change is predetermined and democratically achieved.Extension education programmes, if properly planned and implemented, can make a signicant contribution to planned change.

Planned Programme

As Leagans (1961) pointed out, it is of utmost importance that the staff and the people in each area not only develop an extension programme, but also prepare the programme in a written form that is readily understood and is suitable for obtaining approval and use as a guide for

ofcials and non-ofcials.
