About the Strategic Development Planning Pathway
- How is the Development Planning Pathway Integrated?
- The pathway is integrated at a conceptual level of planning and the operational planning level.
Conceptual Level
- Conceptually, the pathway utilizes FIVE PILLARS (5) as planning focal points. A focal point represents a central idea that logically connects other ideas within the same pillar or across two or more pillars.
- The five pillars include:
- The Development philosophy.
- The compact between the people and their representatives
- The strategic policy agenda
- The grand vision and development agenda priorities and
- The implementation logic for integrated development planning
Operational Planning Level
- The operational level of the pathway divides PILLAR FIVE (5) into four (4) planning stages and ten (10) decision steps.
- Decision steps represent critical junctures, including key decision points that help guide the establishment and implementation of considerations in policies, plans or strategies, programs, and projects.
- Decision steps help to integrate the conceptual level with the operational level.
