2026 Planning
2026 Planning
Planning is the stage within the Adaptive Management Cycle during which Programs and Accelerators will, in quarter four (Q4) of 2025, forecast the planned 2026 results based on the confirmed 2026 budget envelopes.
This stage includes updating of the Theories of Change (ToC), Updating of the Risk Management Plan, Development of the Plan of Results and Budget (PORBs), Updating of the MELIA plans and operationalization of the W3/Bilateral Projects Mapped to the Programs/Accelerators.
The PORBs to be developed during this period includes provision of the annual 2026 aggregated costing information for High-Level Outputs by Area of Work, along with Cross-Cutting and Management components. It also captures intervention geographies, key partners, cross Programs and Accelerators collaborations and mapped W3/Bilateral projects.
