5.1 Introduction

All programmes should be planned early and recorded in the almanac/calendar. There are four phases in organising a programme, which are:

1. Feasibility study on what activities should be done. Determine the target group and the target/goals/objectives to be achieved. (Answer the question WHAT? WHO? WHY?)
2. Planning Identify the resources available such as people, budget, date, time, and venue. Recruit the committee. (Answer the question HOW? WHEN? WHERE?)
3. Implementation Run the programme according to the planning. Discuss arising problems and troubleshoot immediately. Preparation for the programme should be closely monitored for smooth running of the event.
4. Evaluation and reporting Prepare evaluation form and request participants to fill in the form to evaluate the programme. Submit financial and programme reports to OIC.
