In this lecture
- Match actions to budget cycle stages
- Sequence actions across multiple years
- Avoid an all-at-once submission that gets cut
The budget cycle does not wait for the plan
A provincial budget cycle runs on its own calendar, and an adaptation action submitted after the relevant call for bids waits a full year for nothing but timing. Sequencing starts with knowing the calendar, not the actions.
Sequence for delivery, not for ambition
A submission asking for every action in one year is the easiest one to cut in full. A sequenced submission - a smaller first-year ask that unlocks a second, larger one - survives a tight budget round better than an ambitious one submitted whole.
