Module 02: Strategic Planning
2.1 What are the objectives of strategic planning?
Strategic planning helps to ensure that PPPs are formulated in relation
to the wider urban management function, with a focus placed on specific
goals:
◊ to ensure that all options are explored – not just the PPP
option – and that the most appropriate option is selected; and
◊ to ensure that the PPP is not developed as an isolated entity.
Ensuring that the partnership emerges from a strategic
planning process is obvious and par for the course in some contexts,
but not all. In some municipalities, strategic planning is neglected in
the heat of the moment. Municipal decision-makers may be so keen
to solve the problems by delegation that they fail to consider demand
for services, service priorities, impacts and implications of their
choices on city management and governance.
