Hi Olwethu. Thank you for contacting Community Toolbox.
In its most simple form, an action plan is a list of actions that will be taken to accomplish a goal or result.
Usually, the action plan also includes target dates, identifies the person responsible to complete each action, and identifies a measurable or observable result for each action.. Although action plans can be put together simply for a very specific action, most action plans for community development projects require a good deal of preliminary study of needs and available resources, in order to arrive at a clear vision and mission.
We have both a Chapter and a Toolkit that will give you helpful information about action planning. Please click on our Table of Contents graphic at the top of our home page, and then on Chapter 8. within that chapter you will find a section on Action Plans. Also, notice the Toolkit #5, which can help guide your planning process..
