After defining program goals and objectives, the next logical step is to define the management system. This involves establishing a framework for how the program will be organized, including the roles and responsibilities of the team members, the processes that will be used to achieve the goals, and the mechanisms for monitoring and evaluation. Defining the management system ensures that there is a clear plan in place for how resources will be allocated, activities will be coordinated, and accountability will be maintained throughout the program's implementation.

While seeking support from stakeholders, identifying funding sources, and ultimately implementing the program are also important steps in the program planning process, they typically come after there has been a clear definition of how the program will be managed. Having a well-defined management system first allows for a more structured approach to those subsequent actions, leading to a higher likelihood of the program's success.
