Note(s): Key takeaway: planning activities focus heavily on establishing clarity and structure, with the highest priorities placed on defining project objectives (19 responses) and developing a detailed project plan (18 responses). Identifying roles and resources (16) and securing funding (12) follow as essential operational tasks, while planning for monitoring and evaluation receives comparatively less emphasis (6). This distribution suggests that teams prioritize front-loading project clarity and operational readiness, reflecting the need for strong coordination in humanitarian contexts
