Directions: Why do we need to plan for impact? How can it be applied to future programs,
projects or activities of your school or institution?

We need to plan for impact to look for the possible implications of the decision made. It can be applied for future
programs and projects through following the steps. Integrating planning for impact into the strategic planning and
decision-making processes of the school, can improve organizational effectiveness, accountability, and
transparency while maximizing the positive outcomes and benefits for stakeholders and the community.
