Development planning and management

We work with institutions and local governments on development plans and strategies that respond to the real problems of their communities, align with the Bangsamoro Development Plan, and are managed through to implementation.

When to call us

Institutions and local governments usually call us in situations like these.

  • a development plan is due, or due for revision
  • plans exist, but persistent problems do not move
  • programs need to be aligned with the Bangsamoro Development Plan
  • implementation needs a clear owner, schedule and way to track progress

What we facilitate

  • The problems the plan must address, mapped as systems, with the people and institutions involved.

  • The future the community wants, and the strategies and theory of change that lead there.

  • Links to your mandate and to the Bangsamoro Development Plan and other plans that apply.

  • Who does what, when and with which resources, and how progress is tracked.

What you receive

Each output is drafted with your team and handed over in a form your staff can maintain.

  • a situation analysis and systems map
  • development strategies with a theory of change
  • an alignment map to the Bangsamoro Development Plan
  • an implementation plan with owners, schedule and indicators

How it runs

  1. Understand

    We review data, plans and the mandate, and consult the people involved.

  2. Envision

    In workshops, the team maps the system and agrees the future it wants.

  3. Strategize

    Strategies, programs and the theory of change are drafted and tested.

  4. Manage

    The implementation plan is agreed, and we review progress at agreed points.

Grounded in our guidebooks

The method draws on our guidebooks on systems change and strategic planning, and on our planning support for local governments.
