Programs

A Program represents a country-specific implementation of a Program Type. Programs define how ministry activity is organized within a country and determine which products and partners are authorized to operate within that program.

Programs are used to:

• Organize ministry work within a specific country

• Authorize partners to participate in a program

• Define which products can be used in that program

• Support planning and reporting across regions

Product Authorizations

Each program includes a Product Authorizations section that lists the products approved for use within the program.

Users with the appropriate permissions can:

• View products authorized for the program

• Add products to the program

• Remove products from the program

• View product details

Authorized products appear in alphabetical order, and existing selections cannot be added more than once.

• View partners authorized for the program

• Add partners to the program

• Remove partners from the program

Partner selections are limited to active partners within the selected country.

Program Types

A Program Type defines the structure used to create programs.

Program Types include:

• Product types associated with the program

• Reach rules used for reporting

• Details about the intended use of each product

• Expected outcomes associated with the program

Programs created in different countries follow the structure defined by their Program Type. This helps ensure programs are implemented and reported consistently across regions.

Reach Rules

Program Types include a Reach Rules section where authorized users can define how reach is calculated for products associated with the program.

Reach Rules help ensure that reach is measured consistently across programs and regions.
