This phase defines the critical details of a project.

Who does it

A team generally carries out the necessary tasks. More successful projects involve community members as integral members. Planning workshops bringing together government, practitioners, and community members have proven successful and allow rapid definition and agreement of key elements. This team often is charged with implementing the project as well.

Time to do

This phase is often measured in years. Two years is not uncommon. The time to define projects needs to be more rapidly undertaken if scaling-up goals are to be met.
