PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT

• LEARNING OBJECTIVES
• At the end of the module, you should be able to:
• 1. identify the different phases of program development; and
• 2. acquire knowledge of how politics get involved in policy development
INTRODUCTION:
• A program develops in phases.
• There is no best way to program Development, but some order must be given
to entail its success.
• Program development may be divided into the following phases:
• 1. Initiation;
• 2. Consideration and deliberation; and
• 3. Implementation and
• 4.evaluation.
• Initiation of a program may start at different points.
• It may begin in Congress, in Malacañang, or in any department or agency of
the government.
• It may also proceed from a meeting of an organized group or on the basis of a
report of a committee or body.
• Consideration and deliberation.
Until agreement is reached, or a compromise is arrived at, a program does not
move forward. There may be more discussions and debates just like in a
conference committee where every participant has a position on the matter
under consideration
Implementation and evaluation.
• After implementation comes evaluation and modification.
• Evaluation does not have systematic.
• It may not even be present.
• Evaluation and modification are done in the final phase of program
development.
• They may also be considered a part of a new program
PROGRAM STAFFING

• A program has its own objective in staffing, that is to secure and develop
adequate and efficient personnel.
PROGRAM FINANCING AND BUDGETING
• There are Issues to be resolved in program financing and budgeting like the
sources of funding, whether governmental, private, mixed, or from the
beneficiaries.
• If funds have to be raised, could this be through grants, bonds, shares and
bank loans?
• How is the Budget: capital or current accounts, annual or for longer periods?
Should certain income be set aside in separate fund for certain types of
expenditures?
• How is Auditing to be arranged: internal or external, or both?

• Program Development is a political activity. But today, experts and technocrats

are involved in providing data, analysis and forecasts in the process. Hence,
program development is how becoming professionalized.
