Supports to response: In a community or large geographical area, there are
potential individuals and institutions that can support rational responses to the
epidemic. In defining the problem, it may be useful to identify such sources of
support.

Formulation
The above factors could change in each succeeding cycle of
the project, either as a result of the project or because of
other factors.
The next stage to be considered is Solution Formulation.
This is a logical sequence of trying to find solutions to
identified problems.
Typically, people evaluate problems and move on to
solutions. Current situations and future possibilities are
often defined in terms of aspirations and opportunities.
This is essentially only a semantic difference and does not
need any modification in approach to Solution
Formulation.

Best Practices
The basic strategy in solution formulation is to match the
current problem with solutions that have effectively
addressed similar problems in the past. Thus, it is a process
of searching out available knowledge reservoirs. Often
these are available as best practices or study
documentation. When such knowledge is not available, it is
necessary to carry out operations research and test solutions
on a smaller scale prior to large-scale application.

Strategies – 3
Problem
Definition
After these processes, it is necessary to put together a
project proposal that clearly outlines the project’s course of
action and resources needed. A key strategy for project
formulation includes basing all project activities on proven
approaches and ensuring stakeholder consensus on the
identified problem and proposed solution.
This is an activity-intensive stage of the project and calls for
sound strategies that guide the operations.

Probably the most important strategy during this period is
to ensure that planning and re-planning take place. Often,
planning is not a very popular activity and re-planning is
even less popular! But project experiences have consistently
shown that the better the planning, the more effective the
project becomes. Each project has to find its own way of
