Political Campaign Planning Manual (NDI)

2 min read

Overview

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.

How it works

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. [source: ndi-campaign-planning]

When to use it

Pointing a campaign planner to NDI’s Publications hub as a starting point; locating the planning manual after re-fetching its current URL.
