Develop Program Budget
You may have needed to think about a budget before
this phase, especially if you needed to hire a contractor to help with formative
research. Even if you've spent money already, think through the rest of the
budget at this time. You'll need to predict how much money each
activity/component will cost and figure out where the money is coming from.
You may want to discuss the budget and/or make decisions with your partners and
stakeholders. Including them in the discussion may smooth the way for financial
contributions, or at least allow them to feel involved in the process.
Developing a budget together can create a foundation of agreement about the
program's priorities.
