Tool:Municipal Development Strategy Process A toolkit for practitioners
The contribution of this toolkit: Municipal plans and strategies tend to have too broad and unspecific goals. They tend to focus on ‘what’ the municipality wishes to achieve, but at the same time provide little detail on ‘how’ to achieve this. In fact, many strategies are never being implemented at all. This toolkit will therefore pay special attention to practical aspects of strategy delivery. Besides, this toolkit will outline some project management issues, and highlight the need for self-reflection and capacity building, starting within the municipal organisation, and extending to all stakeholders. This is important since municipalities often get disappointed with the outcomes of the municipal strategy because they lack experience and knowledge in project management.
