Political Campaign Planning Manual (NDI)
Summary
NDI manual focused on the planning phase of a political campaign. The original URL on NDI’s site currently returns HTTP 404 — locate the current host URL before citing this source.
Body
This page is reserved for the National Democratic Institute’s Political Campaign Planning Manual, which is referenced across the Wiki as a complementary planning-phase companion to ndi-campaign-skills [source: ndi-campaign-planning]. The manual’s previously-published URL on ndi.org (nodi.org/node/23950) returned HTTP 404 at scrape time, so specific content of the manual (its goal-setting framework, situational-analysis steps, planning worksheets, etc.) is not currently verifiable against the live site [source: ndi-campaign-planning]. The NDI Publications hub at ndi.org/publications remains live and lists the current NDI catalogue, so the planning manual can be re-located from there [source: ndi-campaign-planning].
Coverage claims for this source should remain conservative until the manual’s current URL is re-established and its content is re-fetched; the safe position is to cite NDI as the publisher of a complementary planning manual and to direct readers to ndi-campaign-skills for the verified 11-module electoral curriculum [source: ndi-campaign-planning]. A campaigner reaches for this source as a pointer to the NDI Publications hub and as a placeholder for the planning manual’s eventual re-location [source: ndi-campaign-planning]. Treat as link-only.
