Development strategy is a plan of future undertakings that indicates development directions of a given community. It is a synonym of modernity and is the symbol of the highest rationality in the planning processes, as well as implementation of development undertakings.
It can be assumed that development strategy is the ability of formulating long-term targets and their modification, depending on changes that occur in the environment, as well as conducting actions that facilitate the realization of development priorities that belong to a given community.
Possessing “Development strategy” on your shelf is far more than yet another dusty document. Creating such a document should always involve consultation with local community leaders and environments connected with the place that the strategy concerns.
Success of these actions also guarantees the success of local government’s decision-makers. In order to create a strategy it is not enough to want it – one must be aware of why does the community need a strategy and if so, it still requires sufficient intellectual background and certain readiness for new challenges.
On one hand, basic function of strategy is providing transactors, investors and citizens with information concerning long-term development conditioning and means of solving encountered problems, while on the other, it is a declaration of local authorities concerning a set of future actions. This is especially crucial due to cadences of local government – a strategy stabilizes and directs its activity in different spheres of life. In addition to being a basic document of a long-term policy, a good strategy also acts as a cooperation platform of all public personas: local government, government administration, non-governmental organizations, transactors, and finally those, who may benefit from it the most – citizens.
According to world-wide rules, ONZ and UE alike, there is a need of a balanced character of local development which should take place in three areas: social, economic and landscape-ecological. It is due to the fact, that constructing a strategy should be connected with a golden mean and achieving a healthy compromise. What is more, such a development should not be carried out at the cost of other spheres of life.
