Participant Action Plan (PAPA) Try to take into account: 1. The preliminary nature of the plan: make it as specific as possible 2. Resources: what will I need for it, in terms of support from colleagues, external stakeholders, skills, money,...) 3. Implementation: do I have the authority to implement? who will I have to get involved? 4. Effects: who will benefit from my action? Will anybody be negatively effected? 5.
