Development planning is a series of programs, policies, or activities that aim to build capacity for sustainable long-term economic growth. The central government and other national-level stakeholders lead in developing aggregate economic programs, while local governments play a crucial role in planning economic development that directly impacts job opportunities, local tax bases, environmental sustainability, social equity, and overall quality of life. Training on this topic is designed to help policymakers better understand the strategies and instruments available to advance economic development within their respective jurisdictions. Training packages in this sub-theme include Planning and Budgeting, Monitoring and Evaluation, Planning Fundamentals, Project Feasibility, and Strategic Planning and Key Performance Indicators.
