Planning
Each
Family Connection collaborative engages in an ongoing planning process.
Local citizens, agencies, and community organizations have an opportunity
to establish a shared vision
for children and families and chart a course to get there.
Each
collaborative develops a three-year community
strategic plan, based upon a community
assessment. This plan details goals,
benchmark objectives,
and strategies
to improve results for children and families and facilitate collaborative
development and systems change. In order to implement the strategic
plan year by year, the collaborative develops an annual
plan, with an annual results evaluation plan, that defines
how the collaborative intends to make and measure progress toward
its long-term goals and benchmark objectives. Each collaborative
submits all plans to the Partnership for approval.

Strategy
Development:
Effective
strategies come from evidence-based research and are comprehensive,
prevention-oriented, relevant to the desired outcomes, family-centered,
and help reduce risk factors and strengthen protective factors.
The three-year community strategic plan describes how a strategy
will contribute to achieving the desired benchmark objectives by
providing supporting
evidence. FCP has developed resources to assist with
strategy development.
