We begin with participatory needs assessments, gender and disability analysis, and systems diagnostics to ensure programs are grounded in lived community realities rather than textbook assumptions. This phase also includes contextual analysis of policy, institutional, and community dynamics to inform effective program design.

What this stage includes

• Participatory needs assessments with the communities a program is meant to serve
• Gender and disability analysis built into the design, not added later
• Systems diagnostics of the implementing organisation and its partners
• Contextual analysis of policy, institutional and community dynamics

A program designed around real constraints and real priorities is far more likely to survive contact with implementation.
