Identify Objectives and Strategies

For each goal, identify a set of objectives and for each objective identify a set of strategies.

Objective and Strategy Worksheet

• Where will community development activities be directed?
• What community development actions will be taken?
• How will community development goals be achieved (including how resources will be allocated to achieve the objective)?
• Who is responsible for achieving this goal?
• When will community development goals be achieved?
• When will the objective be implemented?
• What is expected in the short term (1-2 years), mid term (3-5 years) and long term (6-10 years)?

Create objectives that are achievable. Objectives may present a difficult challenge to your organization; however, if they are far beyond your reach, your plan will fail. Each of your objectives must be measurable, otherwise, how will know when you have met your objective? Each needs to be flexible and adaptable to account for changing factors outside of your control. Finally, be certain that each objective is consistent with the overall plan.

Strategies
Strategies define even more precisely the action steps needed to achieve your community objectives. Strategies are a set of actions that when completed, will help bring about the results described in an objective. Identify what resources you will need to complete each action step. Check whether those resources are currently available.
