Planning the VCALevel 2From assessment to planningNow that your National Society has decided to carry out a VCA,you have a management structure in place, objectives have beendeveloped and everybody is enthusiastic about starting the VCA,what is the next step?33Assessment planningVCA can take on a number of different forms, from a quickinformation gathering process to a more complicated anddetailed participatory course of action. A short process will provideinformation, but may lack meaningful community participationand commitment, which in turn can reduce the chance ofdeveloping relevant project proposals. Detailed, more profoundprocesses require additional time and resources, but allow thebranch and the community to develop relationships which maylead to longer-term quality impact.Planning is crucial whatever the form of the VCA. It serves to clarifywhat is to be done during the course of the VCA, from itsinception to completion. This will help ensure that everything isorganized according to a schedule and that no details are left out.A proper plan will identify who does what, when things need to bedone and what resources are required. This enables you to monitorprogress and evaluate the quality of activities and their impact.KeymessageRemember that the VCA timeline is a‘roadmap’, which may need on-goingadjustment.
