Strategic planning is an approach to provide a broad overview of what the community does in the area of economic development and on the course to be followed in the future. In general, it addresses orientations of short, mid or long term, which means it avoids redoing the process every year.

This Handbook is proposing the elaboration of a strategic plan in four distinct phases, based on the following approach:

• Strategic diagnosis;
• Strategic choices and objectives;
• Operational planning and action plans;
• Monitoring and measuring.
