• A collection of projects that are directed toward a common goal. (e.g. The NASA space program)
• A broad framework of goals to be achieved, serving as a basis to define and plan specific projects. (e.g. the EU's SAPARD Programme)

In international English, "program" is often often used with a technical meaning (like computer program), whereas the spelling "programme" is used in the sense of "collection of managed projects".
