Planning criteria

Although I have decided not to talk about our SEPP (annual plan) and its process, nonetheless, I found the criteria stated in the Frame of Reference for the evaluation of the same something very meaningful. We are good at making plans - however, haphazard and useless they are.  But what we never dare to do is evaluate.  Perhaps it is linked with our planning itself. Primarily because they can never be evaluated!! 

Nonetheless, here are three criteria: 

1. Is the plan centred on the young, especially the poor?
2. Is it communitarian in nature, involving all the stakeholders? In other words, is the mission owned up, the responsibility shared? 
3. Is the plan relevant to reality? 

More than points for evaluation of a plan already in place, I feel these are good signposts to gauge the quality of our plan, prior to implementation itself.
