72International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent SocietiesStep 6Project plan of actionWhatever the project, a clear and precise plan of action then needsto be developed and agreed upon. This should include all steps tobe carried out, the resources needed and who is responsible forensuring that the tasks are completed (see Table 6 below). Muchof this information exists already. The task is to systematize theinformation into a format that is clear and easy to understand.Table 6Information needed forthe planning matrixSpecificactivityWho will ensureit is done?ResourcesneededTimeline12Creating a management timeline (see Table 7, p. 73) is bothhelpful and efficient. It will serve to phase-in roles and activitiesin a way that saves time and ensures that a sequential timeline isfollowed towards achieving the goal.In the example on page 73, four groups of individuals areinvolved in ensuring that sensitization is achieved.Field data are gathered in the community.

While the technical departments ofyour National Society should be mobilized to help meet theobjectives of proposed projects, there will be instances where theydo not have the capacity to help.Indeed, certain projects may require support from outside theRed Cross Red Crescent and the community. In that case, youmust ask yourself two questions:■ Who can help achieve the objectives?■ Who should be responsible for issues that fall outside of theRed Cross Red Crescent’s mandate or capacity?
