Transition Plan Template

This template is for practitioners across the humanitarian, development and peacebuilding sectors.

Transition plans serve as key documents for organizations, teams, and other actors carrying out activities to ensure a responsible transition. Transition plans identify key steps transitioning entities will take to ensure their process is responsible, sustainable, and mutually beneficial for all partners involved.

The Transition Plan Template should be adapted based on the needs of those using it. The outline covers the purpose of the transition, background on the organizations’/teams’ vision for a successful transition with priorities and activities necessary to meet that vision, as well as a section on learning and adaptation.
