The document provides an outline for strategic planning for economic development in Nigeria's North East region. It discusses the necessity of economic development and the role of strategic planning in outlining steps, promoting efficient use of resources, and building consensus. Guidelines are proposed for new comprehensive economic development strategies that emphasize process, flexibility, and outcomes. Relationship building and capacity development across government, private, and nonprofit sectors are also emphasized. The implementation plan and conclusion stress monitoring progress and adjusting the strategy based on evaluations to effectively achieve economic development goals for the region.
This document discusses theories of urban growth and urban forms. It describes three models of urban growth: the concentric zone model, sector model, and multiple nuclei model. The concentric zone model proposes that cities grow in concentric rings, while the sector model argues growth is influenced by transportation links. The multiple nuclei model posits that cities develop multiple centers. Urban form elements include density, land use, transportation infrastructure, layout, and building characteristics. Theories influencing urban growth are modernization theory, dependency theory, and world-systems theory.
The document discusses various aspects of urban design policy, including what policies are, their typical components, and different types of related documents like design codes, guides, and visions. It also addresses the relationship between urban design, planning and legislation, noting that urban design may involve preparing regulatory frameworks or even legislation to control development. Finally, it emphasizes that policies should define a vision to realize change over time through staged objectives, and that flexibility is important since cities are constantly changing in unpredictable ways.
Ernest Burgess developed the concentric zone theory in the 1920s to model urban spatial patterns. The theory proposes that a city is organized into 5 concentric rings radiating out from the central business district. Zone 1 is the CBD with commercial activities. Zone 2 is a transitional zone with factories and abandoned buildings. Zone 3 is inhabited by working-class residents in tenements. Zone 4 contains middle-class houses, yards, and garages. Zone 5 is located furthest from the CBD and contains upper-class houses and suburbs. The theory argues that socioeconomic status decreases the further one moves from the CBD.
This presentation is a compilation of selected topics on the history of urbanization, urban and regional planning theories, urban thinkers and their contributes, concepts, bases of land use, applicability to the Philippine setting, and a briefer of urban design elements.
History & Theory of Planning: Introduction to PlanningAnuradha Mukherji
Planning involves shaping the future through processes like determining future actions, improving settlements, promoting equity and citizen participation. Planners come from various backgrounds and work in government, non-profits and private sectors. They represent the public, assist decision-makers and deal with complex problems. However, planners accomplish little alone and must work with various stakeholders. Planning is inherently political due to its impact and need for support. Key debates in planning theory include defining planning's history and roles, justifying intervention, determining appropriate approaches, and balancing expertise with public values.

Urban planning is a technical and political process concerned with the development and design of land use and the built environment, including air, water, and the infrastructure passing into and out of urban areas, such as transportation, communications, and distribution networks.
Urban planning deals with physical layout of human settlements. The primary concern is the public welfare,which includes considerations of efficiency, sanitation, protection and use of the environment,as well as effects on social and economic activities.
Urban planning is considered an interdisciplinary field that includes social science, architecture, human geography, politics, engineering and design sciences. It is closely related to the field of urban design and some urban planners provide designs for streets, parks, buildings and other urban areas.
Urban planning is also referred to as urban and regional planning, regional planning, town planning, city planning, rural planning, urban development, physical planning, urban management or some combination in various areas worldwide.
This document discusses the evolution of planning theory from its origins in modernism to current approaches. It covers major themes and approaches in planning theory including physical planning in early modernism which focused on aesthetics and master plans. It then discusses rational systems approaches, advocacy planning which incorporated more participation, and radical alternatives examining the political economy of planning and capitalist systems. Communicative action and implementation challenges are also covered, as well as the rise of new right approaches minimizing government intervention and planning.
Urban renewal involves the remodeling and rehabilitation of older urban areas through redevelopment, conservation, and redevelopment to address issues like inadequate housing, environmental degradation, and dilapidated infrastructure. It aims to improve living conditions and revitalize areas that have declined below standards. Common approaches include slum clearance, redevelopment, rehabilitation, housing improvement, conservation, and economic renewal projects. While originating in the US after World War 2, urban renewal is now practiced in Pakistan through local government programs that target both urban and surrounding rural settlements.
Planning is a systematic process that involves rational decision making to achieve goals and address development problems. Early definitions and theories of planning emphasized it as a rational process to maximize utility or happiness. The rational model paradigm dominated planning thought and practice but has been criticized for being too mechanistic. Alternative paradigms and theories have since emerged to make planning more adaptive to changing environments and human behavior. Models, theories, and concepts from different disciplines help planners understand problems and design solutions, but must be applied judiciously given planning's applied nature.
1. Residential satisfaction is determined by a mix of factors including both physical and social aspects of a person's housing and surrounding environment.
2. It indicates people's response to not just the physical residential setting, but also the social, economic, and institutional aspects.
3. Theories of residential satisfaction propose that it measures the differences between a household's actual and desired housing and neighborhood situations, based on factors like life stage and changing needs, discrepancies between current and desired conditions, and the cognitive construction of an ideal reference situation.
Urban renewal is a comprehensive strategy aimed at dealing with urban decline and decay through policies and actions that improve economic, physical, social, and environmental conditions in problematic urban areas. It involves rearranging land use, ownership, and functions through redevelopment, rehabilitation, conservation, and infrastructure improvements. Urban renewal is needed in old, congested urban areas where dilapidated buildings, lack of facilities, and obsolete land uses have reduced the potential and livability of cities. In India, rapid urbanization has overwhelmed aging infrastructure, leading to decay in city cores, making urban renewal crucial to revive cities with long histories.
This document provides an overview of the course "Strategic Urban Environment Planning and Management". The course aims to expose students to current urban strategic planning practices to manage complex urban problems and identify corrective measures to problems caused by rapid urbanization.

Urban complexity's role in a practical emergent urbanismMathieu Hélie
The document discusses theories of urban complexity and emergent urbanism. It explores the history of urbanization from organic processes to modern planning. Complexity theories view cities as complex systems that emerge from the bottom-up interactions of many actors following simple rules. The author argues urbanization processes should allow for emergent order through shared geometric rules rather than top-down planning. Redesigning urban development processes at various scales could lead to more organic, fractally complex cities.
The multiple nuclei model describes the layout of modern complex cities. It proposes that cities do not grow from a single central business district (CBD) but from multiple smaller CBDs that act as growth points. Each nucleus expands outward until they merge into a single large urban area. As additional CBDs form on the outskirts, valuable housing develops nearby to allow shorter commutes. This model was created in 1945 based on the observation that increasing car ownership enabled greater movement and specialization across regional centers.
Urban governance refers to how government and stakeholders plan, finance, and manage urban areas. Effective urban governance depends on local institutions as well as the national framework. It involves continuous negotiation over resources and power. Key elements of effective urban governance include the relationship between city and national governments, municipal capacity to plan and manage growth, and inclusive political systems and institutions. Good urban governance promotes transparency, accountability, participation, and the rule of law. Factors contributing to improved urban governance are clear objectives, legal frameworks, decision-making processes, appropriate funding, cooperation between actors, and division of responsibilities.
The document discusses the history, theory, aspects, and practice of urban planning. It begins with definitions of urban planning and discusses its origins in ancient civilizations. It then covers influential urban planning theories and thinkers from Hippodamus to modernists like Howard and Le Corbusier. The document outlines aspects of urban planning like aesthetics, infrastructure, transportation and discusses sustainable practices. It also discusses new master-planned cities and different levels of urban planning from national to municipal. In the end, it discusses impacts of urban planning on happiness, education and criminality.
Urban planning is a technical process that guides development while also considering public welfare and the environment. However, politics can interfere with planning when politicians pursue personal or party interests over strategic goals. This leads to issues like poor planning and decision making, poor project implementation, wasted resources, bias in planning, and unnecessary delays. To achieve effective development, political interference in the planning process must be reduced so that urban planners can do their jobs.
The document discusses the roles of planners in Zimbabwe. It outlines that planners have many roles including as a theoretician to educate the public, as a national advocate to communicate policies, as an advisor on sectoral policies, as a facilitator, and as an initiator, manager, and evaluator of projects. Planners also act as mobilizers of resources, innovators to modify top-down policies, animators to facilitate development ideas from the community, and advocates of social justice. The document emphasizes that planning involves both technical and social functions to improve quality of life in urban and rural areas.
Rational Planning concepts and relation with the sustainable concepts is explained with appropriate detail case studies from over the world. Indian scenario is then over-viewed..

Brief Introduction to Strategic PlanningRoberto Rocco
This document provides an overview of strategic planning in 3 parts. It begins by describing the shift in urban planning from master plans to more flexible strategic plans and collaborative governance. Next, it explains that strategic planning involves analyzing trends, developing scenarios and visions, and engaging stakeholders. The key elements of a strategic plan are outlined as analyzing the context, setting goals and priorities through a vision statement, and developing a flexible strategy with coordinated actions to steer toward the vision. Trigger projects are identified as important to initiate change. Examples from Bilbao, Rotterdam, and London are provided.
The document discusses challenges faced by people from North East India. It notes that the region comprises seven states referred to as the "Seven Sisters" and each has unique cultures and landscapes. However, many people from the region face discrimination and lack of opportunities when they migrate to major cities elsewhere in India for education and work. A key factor pushing migration is lack of higher education infrastructure in the North East states. The document calls for developing the region through initiatives like tourism, political representation, security, placements and educational infrastructure to address the issues.
International scenario of livestock with respect to North East Region of IndiaILRI
This document summarizes the international livestock industry with a focus on how it relates to the Northeast region of India. It makes three key points:
1) Smallholder livestock farmers make up the majority of the world's poor but face disadvantages compared to industrial operations due to economies of scale and market regulations.
2) The industrial livestock sector is growing rapidly globally and dominated by a few large multinational corporations, while smallholders are declining.
3) The smallholder livestock system is still relevant for Northeast India, where most rural households rear livestock and products are marketed locally, but the sector faces challenges around production practices, extension services, and food safety.

Food security means that enough food is available for all people and that all people can afford to buy food. Drought can cause food shortages and increased prices in affected areas, making food unaffordable for some and leading to food insecurity. Prolonged food insecurity or widespread shortages over a large area can cause starvation and even famine. India's food security systems include maintaining buffer stocks and a public distribution system to provide food to those who cannot afford it.
Food security in India depends on the availability, accessibility, and affordability of food. Natural disasters like droughts can negatively impact food security by decreasing food production and increasing prices. The poorest sections of society and those impacted by disasters are most vulnerable to food insecurity. The 1943 Bengal famine killed over 3 million people. Public distribution systems and food subsidies aim to ensure food security, but have faced criticisms around efficiency and targeting of those most in need. Cooperative organizations also play a role in increasing access to affordable food.

Getting your workforce system involved in a local Comprehensive Economic Deve...Colleen LaRose
This webinar can be seen in its entirety on www.nereta.org ..then click onto the training page.
Did you know that there is money available for workforce planning that does not come from the Department of Labor? IT's TRUE! The Economic Development Administration (EDA) provides workforce planning and implementation funds as part of the comprehensive economic development strategy planning process (CEDS).
The problem with CEDS planning the way it is currently done, is that most CEDS are written by economic development folks who only provide lip service to coordinating with workforce professionals in the plan, (most often providing nothing more than offer labor force statistics with little analysis of gaps, trends).
Unfortunately, most workforce development professionals don't know what CEDS planning is, even though coordination with the workforce system is a required part of CEDS planning. Therefore, workforce development professionals should not only understand the CEDS process, but inject themselves into the process...or even lead the process!
This webinar will teach you everything you need to know about CEDS:
What are the programs of the EDA?
What is an Economic Development District (EDD)
What is a CEDS?
What is a CEDS Supposed to Do?
What does a high quality CEDS have?
We are very fortunate to have two amazing speakers for this webinar!
Paul Raetsch is the Retired Regional Director of the Economic Development Administration Philadelphia Regional Office. Paul oversaw the CEDS planning for regions throughout the northeastern US going back as far as 1971! This man has a wealth of knowledge and expertise in regional planning that you will greatly benefit from!
Presenting with Paul is Mike Aube, President of the Eastern Maine Development Corporation, host of the "mobilize Eastern Maine initiative. Mike has also served as Legislative aide to Senator Mitchell, EDD Director, EDA Economic Development Representative, State Director of Rural Development, as well as Mayor of Bangor, Maine.
The document discusses Concerted Development Plans (CDPs) in Peru and key success factors for their implementation at the local level, using the district of La Encañada as a case study.

Collaboration between EDA's and WIB's requires a paradigm shift. Traditionally economic development organizations were charged with attracting business -typically industrial firms - while workforce development organizations played a more transactional role of training and job match-making. Their tools, strategies and resources have been vastly different from each other and sometimes even at odds. But that is now changing. Several communities have successfully brought together economic development and workforce development organizations by aligning goals and simultaneously strengthening the economic eco-system.
The driving force behind this convergence is the realization that a talented labor supply is key to the economic prosperity of the community. Site selectors report a talented workers trump all other considerations fro businesses locating to a new area. Similarly a steady stream of talented employees can help retain and expand strong industries and clusters.
Building this pipeline of workers requires input on future needs of companies from economic development as well as input from workforce development on where to find and train the workers for these future opportunities.
This webinar will highlight several regions in the country, urban and rural where they are making this work.
This narrative project report summarizes activities conducted from August 1, 2013 to July 31, 2014 to promote transparency and use of revenue from extractive industries for poverty alleviation in four Indonesian districts. Key activities included developing baseline data, educating policymakers, establishing community centers, and building capacity of local government teams and information centers. Progress was made in many areas, though some goals, like new regulations, were only partially achieved. The report reflects on lessons learned and challenges in organizational management.
- The document discusses Bhutan's national development planning, guided by its Gross National Happiness policy. It outlines key aspects of Bhutan's population, economy, poverty reduction efforts, governance, education, and health. It also summarizes an agriculture project funded by IFAD that aimed to improve livelihoods and reduce poverty in eastern Bhutan. The project helped increase production, income, and access to services but capacity for value addition and enterprise remains limited.
1. The document discusses the importance of developing the North East region of India by realizing its growth potential. It outlines various reasons for focusing on the North East, including its strategic location, natural resources, and untapped human capital.
2. Several government schemes and policies aimed at the North East are summarized, including the North Eastern Council, various development programs, and the 'Look East' policy to promote economic integration.
3. The major challenges facing development in the region are discussed, along with recommendations to address issues like more effective implementation, local involvement, and improved transparency and monitoring of government programs.
1. Economic planning involves centralized control and conscious allocation of national resources by a central authority to achieve defined targets within a specified time period.
2. Planning is necessary in less developed countries to solve issues like poverty, unemployment, and underdevelopment through increasing income, employment opportunities, and self-sufficiency.
3. Objectives of planning in less developed countries include industrialization, agricultural and industrial development, reducing inequalities, raising standards of living, and achieving rapid overall development. Planning is needed to overcome market imperfections and structural rigidities in less developed economies.
The document discusses several key constraints in the implementation of rural policy and development programs in India. It notes that policies are often designed using a "one size fits all" approach without considering geographic, socioeconomic, and physical differences across rural areas. This can result in policies not achieving their intended impact. Other common constraints include inadequate coordination between implementing agencies, lack of adequate funding, leakage of benefits away from intended groups, shortage of technical staff, lack of sustainability, insufficient infrastructure, and limited monitoring and evaluation of programs. The document concludes by proposing some mechanisms to help overcome these implementation challenges, such as improved coordination, planning, participation, and evaluation.

3. The Necessity for Economic
Development
• Setting up an Overall Economic Development
Program is geared towards contributing to
– The effective local economic development in distressed
areas of our society
– By establishing a locally based, regional planning process.
• The process will encourage the local community
–
–
–
–
To think strategically about itself,
Its assets and liabilities,
Where it wants to go, and
What steps it must take to get there.
4. The Role of Strategic Planning 1/2
Time spent in developing an economic development strategy
will pay big dividends because it will:
• Outline The Steps to Follow
– Economic development does not just happen. It requires the
community to identify a number of intermediate steps to reach
its final goals.
• Promote Efficient Use of Scarce Resources
– A significant amount of money, time, and people will be
required for economic development efforts and the limited
resources available must not be wasted. The plan will provide
rationale for resource allocation.
• Improve Coordination
– Many programs, activities, groups, and individuals will be
involved in the development effort and it is important that they
not overlap or conflict. The plan will serve as a vehicle for
communicating development activities.
5. The Role of Strategic Planning 2/2
• Build consensus.
– The public and the private sector must agree on the major issues
involved. This will lead to support in implementing the plan.
• Increase public awareness.
– Without public support, economic development cannot happen. It
is important that the public know how development occurs and
how it affects the community.
• Strengthen the community’s competitive position.
– A community with a strategy will not only be inherently more likely
to succeed, it will appear more attractive to potential business or
industry than a community without a plan.
• Encourage forward-thinking.
– The strategy will encourage community leaders to think about the
future and to not overlook opportunities for development as they
arise.

7. The North East Context 2/3
• 70 to 90 percent of the working-age demographic is
engaged in subsistence farming or other agriculture-related
activities.
• With the relatively lower rainfall, vast areas of grassland
are used to support livestock (e.g. cattle, sheep, and goats),
and one of the largest cattle markets in West Africa is
found in Potiskum, Yobe State.
• In addition, a wide variety of crops (such as potatoes,
sugar cane, wheat, groundnuts, millet, sorghum and
cowpeas, cotton, yam, groundnut, tobacco, maize, beans,
guinea corn, millet, ginger, rice, cassava, ginger, vegetables,
mango, cashew, guava, pawpaw) are grown in this region
8. The North East Context 3/3
• Minerals found in these regions include salt, clay, serpentine,
asbestos, amethyst, kyannite, gold and graphite, rutile, sand,
granite rocks, asbestos, gold, uranium, nickel, chromite,
tourmaline, amethyst, marl stones, potash, iron ore, copper,
white quartz, chamovite, limestone , and antimony.
• The region supports vibrant leather works, weaving, dyeing and
other forms of textiles, carpets, calabash designs, etc
9. The north east context
SECURITY CHALLENGE
• The terrorist attacks launched on some states in the
North by a group referred to as the Boko Haram, are
having a negative impact on business and economic
activites of the region.
• This has posed a lot of challenges on marketing of
agricultural produce and other forms of business
activities in the region .
• The incessant attacks have also created fear and
anxiety in many farmers and potential business
partners and investors around the region
10. Features of Economic Development
• Guidelines: Propose a new set of Comprehensive
Economic Development Strategy guidelines.
• Relationships: Stresses the need for regional and local
authorities to make the strategic planning process more
inclusive, seeking greater collaboration with other federal
agencies, state governments, and the private sector.
• Capacity Building: Recommends ways in which investment
in planners at the regional and state level can lead to the
necessary system and practice improvements to ensure
that strategic planning for economic development is indeed
more consequential.
11. Features of Economic Development
JOB CREATION
• Job creation is the main objective of economic development.
• There is a difference between creating job and creating better
jobs.
• Job creation is a quality issue not merely a quantity issue.
• Jobs ‘’created’’ should support a desired standard of living,
offer sustainability and decent working conditions, and
provide opportunity for advancement.
• The goal of job creation is not the job per se rather it is to
boost local income.
12. Features of Economic Development
JOB RETENTION
• It is important to retain as well as create jobs because a job
lost means the loss of the economic advantages that resulted
from that position.
• Job retention and business assistance go hand-in-hand. When
businesses are assisted and encouraged to stay in the
community, the existing job base remains intact.
• Most net new job creation will come from existing business
within a community and, they are therefore a critical focus for
local economic development efforts and programs.
13. Features of Economic Development
TAX BASE ENHANCEMENT
• This enables state government to support local services
and pursue other activities without having to raise taxes.
QUALITY OF LIFE
• This is represented by many factors including safety,
education quality and opportunity, poverty reduction,
environmental quality, and cultural and recreational
amenities.
• It is what makes living, working, and conducting business
in a community worthwhile.
• Conversely, detractors from the quality of life in a place,
crime, for example, often deserve attention by economic
developers and the region.
14. Guideline on Economic Development
Programme 1/2
• There are 3 sets of global recommendations
designed to stimulate the effect of strategic
planning for economic development;
Guidelines, Relationships, and Capacity
Building.
• Guidelines: Propose a new set of
Comprehensive Economic Development
Strategy guidelines.
15. Guideline on Economic Development
Programme 2/2
• Relationships: Stresses the need for regional and local
to make the strategic planning process more inclusive,
seeking greater collaboration with federal agencies,
state governments, and the private sector.
• Capacity Building: Recommends ways in which
investment in planners at the regional and state level
can lead to the necessary system and practice
improvements to ensure that strategic planning for
economic development is indeed more consequential.
16. GUIDELINES
Proposing a new set of Comprehensive Economic
Development Strategy Guidelines “Simplify and clarify…, do
not lose the inherent flexibility of the existing process (if
any), remove all unnecessary requirements, but be clear
about expectations and outcomes.”
•
•
•
•
•
•
Key elements of new guidelines:
Putting up an outstanding “process and plan”
A single set of appropriate guidelines
Consolidation of reporting to one annual report
Introduction of performance measures
A good communications strategy
17. RELATIONSHIPS
• For strategic economic development planning to be
effective in the North East region, engagement of the
private and nonprofit sectors and all levels of government
is critical.
• Planning cannot be undertaken in a vacuum or behind
closed doors among “professionals.” Here will we discuss
about the essential relationships that have to be formed
between federal, state, and local agencies with the private
sector.
• An initiative to explore opportunities for greater
integration of local and regional planning requirements
imposed by federal and state departments/agencies must
be taken.
18. RELATIONSHIPS
• Active engagement of the private sector—forprofit businesses, labor unions, and nonprofit
organizations is the central component of the
strategic planning process.
• There is the need to promote private sector
participation through outreach to national
representative business and labor
organizations.
19. CAPACITY BUILDING
• Challenges in terms of complexity, resources, and expertise
are inevitable. To ensure that these challenges do not
become insuperable obstacles, there has to be investment in
building the human capacity of the region.
• The goal of capacity building is to tackle problems related to
policy and methods of development, while considering the
potential, limits and needs of the people of the region.
Capacity building takes place on
– Individual level
– Institutional level
– Societal level.
20. INDIVIDUAL LEVEL
• Capacity-building on an individual level
requires the development of conditions that
allow individual to build and enhance existing
knowledge and skills.
• It also calls for the establishment of
conditions that will allow individuals to
engage in the “process of learning and
adapting to change.”
21. INSTITUTIONAL LEVEL
• Capacity building on an institutional level
involves aiding pre-existing institutions in the
region.
• It will not involve creating new institutions,
rather modernizing existing institutions and
supporting them in forming sound policies,
organizational structures, and effective methods
of management and revenue control.
22. SOCIETAL LEVEL
• Capacity building at the societal level will support
the establishment of a more “interactive public
administration that learns equally from its
actions and from feedback it receives from the
population at large.”
• Capacity building must be used to develop public
administrators that are responsive and
accountable as regards economic development
of the region
23. IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 1/2
Four main steps have been identified as pivotal in
gaining an executive group’s commitment to
Economic Development Program. These are:
• Education on sound Economic Development
Programs.
• Gaining Executive Consensus.
• Formation of an Executive steering committee.
• Development of Initial Plan of Action.
24. IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 2/2
• These steps are essential in the implementation process
of Economic Development program.
• Management will not only understand what Economic
Development is and what it involves but at the same
time builds internal commitment through exposure to
and participation in Economic Development process
itself.
25. CONCLUSION
• A comprehensive economic development strategy emerges from
continuous, broad based planning process for tackling the
economic problems of North East region.
• The strategy will promote economic development opportunity,
foster effective transportation access, enhance and protect the
environment and balance resources through sound management of
development.
• For the purposes of this proposal, the term “region” refers to areas
that have been defined economically, environmentally, or
geographically as appropriate units for addressing economic
development and related challenges.
• The strategy proposal is as short and easily accessible as possible.
Decision makers, and business investors will be able to use it as a
guide to understanding the economy of the North East region and
how to take action to improve it.

What is strategic planning?
Steps of strategic planning
Strategic planning process
Organising for Economic Development Planning
Benefits of strategic planning
Common problems with the Strategic Planning
Process
• Monitoring and Evaluation
28. What is Strategic Planning? 1/2
• Strategic planning is a process in which a
community can look at its current situation
and compare that situation to where it would
like to be in a certain matter of time.
• In the context of Economic Development,
communities can use strategic planning to
envision their future and take the appropriate
steps, given the local resources, to achieve
that future.
29. What is strategic planning? 2/2
Economic Development strategic planning involves:
• A realistic appraisal of available resources, constraints,
and opportunities
• The development of achievable goals
• The formation and implementation of project action
to reach those goals
*One of the most important tools that economic
development organisations can use for effective
development is strategic planning.
30. Steps of strategic planning 1/2
Public and/or private
organisations use
strategic planning at the local or regional
level. The time for each step of strategic plan
look as follows:
• Pre-planning Phase
– 1 month: Meet with the stakeholders and ask
what they want out of the planning process
– 3-5 months: Assessment of the local economy
– 4-6 months: Analysis of the information collected
31. Steps of strategic planning 2/2
• Planning Phase
– 2 months: Draw up the economic development
agenda
• Post Planning Phase
– 1 month: Review the strategic plan with the
community, finalise it, and prepare for
implementation
32. Strategic Planning Process 1/2
• Pre-planning
• Assessing the local community and economic
competitiveness
• Formulating realistic goals, objectives, and
strategies
• Identifying, evaluating, and prioritising projects
• Developing plans of action
• Implementing those plans
• Monitoring and evaluating outcomes
• Retooling and adjusting
33. Steps of strategic planning 2/2
All of the “steps” presented are part of a continuing cycle in which goals are recommended
34. Organising for Economic Development
Planning
• Convening individuals responsible for guiding the
design of the strategic planning process
• Identifying
stakeholders
and
defining
their
participation in the process
• Selecting an organisational arrangement for the
strategic planning process
• Specifying and scheduling activities for carrying out the
different components of the strategic plan
• Developing a public involvement programme
• Determining the technical and financial support
needed for the strategic planning process
35. Benefits of strategic planning 1/2
• It helps a community’s future – strategic planning
helps communities steer their economic development
to effectively realize their long-range economic
development goals.
• It provides a structure for mutually accepted goals and
a common agenda
• It defines the purpose of the community group – it lays
out clearly and succinctly for all to see, what the plan
is, to make sure there are no misunderstandings, and
that all players are focused on the same end goals
• It balances community goals with realistic local
resources
36. Benefits of strategic planning 2/2
• A well thought out economic development plan based on
current and historic data on the local economy will provide
information for development projects and policies, as well
as in forecasting future economic growth
• Based on the information gathered in the economy
analysis, an economic development practitioner will better
plan and set goals and objectives that are attainable
• Strategic planning calls for community involvement for
creative and practical process involving stakeholders
(public, private and civic leaders) in formulating and
facilitating economic development goals, strategies and
programmes
37. Common problems with the Strategic
Planning Process
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Failure to involve a broadly representative cross-section of the leadership
Not involving the general public in meaningful ways
A misunderstanding of the strategic planning process, resulting in
inadequate or inappropriate design
Too much time and effort spent on visioning
No clear identification of priority issues (needs, concerns, problems,
opportunities)
Wish list of action items that do not effectively address the key problems
Failure to assign action to appropriate organisations for implementation
No means for evaluating performance and progress so the process can be
appropriately adjusted
Lack of commitment to keep the process going beyond the initial effor
38. Monitoring and Evaluation
Monitoring and Evaluation activities help
to:
– Ensure that the projects are effective and
on track
– Justify the costs involved
– Determine if adjustments need to be made
– Enable the promotion of project success
39. Monitoring and Evaluation
Objectives of Monitoring and Evaluation
– Promote efficient and effective implementation and
operation of the strategic plan and individual project
– Ensure that strategic planning goals and objectives are
met
– Helps minimise delays through the early detection of
problems
– Serves as a feedback system for solving problems during
the implementation stage and ensuring that objectives are
met
– Can even lead to a revision of the objectives themselves if,
during the project implementation, such objectives are
found to be unrealistic or impractical
40. Monitoring and Evaluation
• Monitoring and Evaluation are related but
distinct activities.
• Monitoring tracks performance or outcomes,
while
• Evaluation compares outcomes to specific
benchmarks and to the plan as a whole
• However, Monitoring is essential for carrying
out the evaluation of projects
