1. Assessment, planning, and budgeting Pg. 47 – 55
2. Materials Production and Distribution Planning Pg. 56 – 67
3. Orienting Spray Operators in communication and information dissemination Pg. 68 – 72
4. District Community Mobilization Pg. 73 – 83
5. Monitoring, evaluation, and follow-up. The entire process is guided by the National Communication Strategy for IRS, 2008. Pg. 84 – 85
