The best planning starts with the problem and is �bottom up� rather than �top down�.

This planning produces a project which is do - able within an envelope of time and money.

A project has a specific geographical location and target beneficiaries.

It has specific objectives, outputs and activities.

A start and end date.

Clear allocation of resources.

It fits into a Programme which is in essence a group of projects interlinked for a common purpose.

The Programme in turn is part of an overall Plan, which takes a longer perspective and account of other activities.  I.e. the bigger picture
