Part 1: Ten Steps for Planning a Health Promotion Project
For a health promotion project to have the best chance of success, it needs good planning. Planning a health promotion project requires patience, trust in others and good communication skills. It also requires a well-thought-out project plan which can be easily referred to, updated and changed as the project takes shape.
The following Ten (10) Steps to Planning a Health Promotion Project is a guide to help make this process easier. If you find some things are not relevant or necessary for your community or project, leave them out.
A series of templates have been included to take you through the Ten Steps. You can fill out these templates as you go to make sure you have got the right information.
A series of illustrations have been developed to help you use these templates.
Each step is a separate activity with its own templates. Each step is designed to help you create a health promotion activity for your community.
Hints and tips will help you to plan your health promotion activity.
When you see the pencil at the end of each step, it’s time to head over to the planning templates. Print off each template as they are designed to be used over and over again.
