Project and Program Planning
A key starting point to any successful development intervention is sound project and/or program formulation. Umhlaba Rural Services provides project and program planning services to government institutions, donor agencies and civil society organisations. URS planning consultants are experienced in Logical Framework and Objectives Oriented approaches to planning.
Umhlaba Rural Services places a particular emphasis on alignment/harmonisation in the planning processes we facilitate – that is, alignment/harmonisation with the priorities of local, provincial and national government as well as those of major donors. This is to ensure relevance and synergy of planning outcomes. Wherever possible and relevant URS links the implementation of project/program plans to relevant local and/or district municipalities.
