mipango

Mipango is a Kiswahili word meaning plans. It is the plural form of mpango and is used to describe organized intentions, strategies, or arrangements within a specific time frame. In East African policy and development contexts, mipango ya maendeleo (development plans) and mipango ya ujenzi (construction plans) are common phrases that reflect a planning-oriented approach to governance and project management.

In everyday usage, mipango can refer to both formal documents—such as strategic plans and budgets—and informal arrangements, like scheduling activities or setting goals for a family or community. The term appears frequently in government reports, NGO materials, and media when discussing future actions or programs. While mipango is typically written in lowercase, it may function as a proper noun in an organization's name or in specific project titles.
