Program Summary
I can see us operating in a series of phases:
Phase I: Community Evaluation
Phase II: Address basic needs (food, shelter, clean water, sanitation)
Phase III: Develop community development plan, working with the community members, based on their vision
Phase IV: Implement community development plan
Of course our Five core areas are still relevant, but they may not need to be stated explicitly. I would also propose renaming the Business Development core (AKA Commerce and Industry). This, I have come to realize, is based upon the Western (American) cultural norm to want more things, money, etc. Rather than push this on others, let them decide what they want their lives to be like, how they want them improved. I am not sure what to call this... any ideas?
Your thoughts and ideas would be greatly appreciated. Peace

It is true for any project it must be done in phases. However i would like to comment about the sequencing. I think what should be done first is identify the project sites- based on some criteria. Then have a needs assessment- or baseline survey. With the needs established then it would be appropriate to develop a community development plan. I suggest the following:
Phase 1: Idenification of project sites- based on a criteria
Phase 11: Carry out a needs assessment- use participatory methods
Phase 111: Develop a community development plan based on the identified needs
Phase 1v: Implement the plan
