Tool: Strategic Planning

Strategy development and planning are the starting point of Local Economic Development and often pose a major challenge to municipalities. This is especially the case where human and financial resources are scarce. In light of these limitations, many international and national development organisations have produces a wide range of manuals, toolkits and handbooks to support strategic planning at the local level. The downloads in this section offer a selection of these documents that aim to advise municipalities and other local stakeholders in how to facilitate strategic processes.
