ACSM planning format
Learning ObjectivesPlanning for ACSM activities.
Components of Advocacy, Communication and Social Mobilisation (ACSM) Planning Format
- Activity - The number of planned activities is mentioned against the timeline (for every quarter). Common activities listed in the format include community meetings, patient-provider meetings, school activities and outreach activities.
- Timeline - Timelines are divided into four quarters, but one must ensure that activities are spread across all the quarters and not aggregated in the last quarter of January–March.
- Budget - Budgeting for ACSM activities should cover materials, events, training, monitoring, evaluation, etc.
- Justification - The reason/ purpose for undertaking the ACSM activities is recorded.
The planning format also collects historical budgets proposed, allotted and spent for previous years to see if allotted budgets were properly utilised. The current allocation depends on the historical trend of spending.
