Reinforcing strategic planning capacity

Reinforcing capacity for prospective policy analysis
Improving think-tanks

Description

Reinforcing strategic planning capacity involves systematically developing the skills, tools, and structures necessary for organizations or communities to anticipate challenges, set clear objectives, and coordinate effective actions. This strategy addresses fragmented decision-making and short-termism by promoting evidence-based analysis, stakeholder engagement, and adaptive planning processes. Its practical intent is to ensure resilient, goal-oriented responses to complex problems, enabling more efficient resource allocation, risk management, and sustained progress toward long-term priorities.

Implementation

UNESCO provides support to governments in analysing strategic options for human and cultural development, deciding on the mobilization and allocation of the needed resources and identifying areas requiring priority action.
