5. Basic steps of program planning
Needs assessment and
goal identication allows
extension programming to
be guided by societal
needs.
Statewide initiatives result
from prioritizing local and
state needs assessments.
Determining objectives is the
process of analyzing the goal
statement and breaking it into
workable parts around which
programs and activities are
developed.

6. Extension programme
The situation in
which the people are
located;
The problems that are a part of
the local situation;
The objectives and goals of the local
people in relation to these problems;
and
The recommendations or solutions to
reach these objectives on a long-time
basis (may be several years) or on a
short-time basis (may be one
year or less)

7. Planning
The basic concept of planing appears
to be well accepted in our culture.
It is regarded as an integral and
important dimension of our culture's
rational value orientation.
Rational value orientation assumes a
conscious systematic approach to
problem solving, i.e., problem denition,
data gathering and choosing between
alternative ends and means on the basis
of predetermined criteria.

8. Assumptions on Extension Planning
Planning change is a
necessary prerequisite to
effective social progress
for people and
communities
The most desirable change is
predetermined and democratically
achieved.
Extension education programmes, if
properly planned and implemented, can
make a signicant contribution to
planned change.

As Leagans (1961) pointed out, it is of utmost
importance that the staff and the people in each
area not only develop an extension programme,
but also prepare the programme in a written
form that is readily understood and is suitable
for obtaining approval and use as a guide for
ofcials and non-ofcials.
