The document outlines the key elements needed to write an effective community action plan, including a vision, values, goals, and strategic framework. It discusses preparing a community profile to understand the area's characteristics. The community action plan should then have sections for an executive summary, table of contents, introduction describing the plan's development and management, and an action plan laying out objectives, solutions, responsibilities, budgets, timelines, and expected outcomes. Supporting documents and appendices provide further details to back up the plan. The overall purpose is to thoroughly plan activities to address community issues and work towards progress.
