- Linking the Theories of Change with the evidence gathered in the Evidence Synthesis
- Identifying relevant systemic changes and appropriate interventions in the ToCs
- Connecting the Results and Resources Plans with the ToC’s interventions and systemic changes
- Harmonising Humanitarian and Development analysis and planning
- Better integrating risk analysis and management throughout the process
- Leveraging of a diverse set of partnerships towards the realisation of higher results for children
- Better reflecting on government and partners’ contributions (including the private sector) and commitment in line with National Development Plans
- Ensuring effective participation of key stakeholders at the critical steps of the planning process, as appropriate to the country's context
