This book is a cornerstone resource for a wide range of
organizations and individuals concerned with sustainable
development at national and local levels, as well as for
international organizations concerned with supporting such
development. While the focus is on integrated strategies for
sustainable development, the approaches and methods covered are
equally relevant to poverty reduction, environmental and sectoral
strategies, program development and review. Agenda 21 called for
all countries to develop sustainable development strategies. For
such strategies to be effective there needs to be a real
commitment. In every country, government at all levels, the private
sector and civil society must work together in a true partnership,
in transparent ways which enable genuine stakeholder participation.
The necessary mechanisms and processes need to be coordinated to
enable continuous learning and improvement. This resource book
provides flexible, non-prescriptive guidance on how to develop,
assess and implement national sustainable development strategies.
It sets out principles and ideas on process and methods, and
suggests how these can be used. It is based on an analysis of past
and current practice, drawing directly from experience in both
developed and developing countries. Following a discussion of the
nature and challeges of sustainable development and the need for
strategic responses to them, the heart of the book covers the main
tasks in strategy processes. Individual chapters offer a rich range
of guidance, ideas and case studies on: * The nature of sustainable
development strategies and current practice * Key steps in
starting, managing and improving sustainable developmentstrategies
* Analysis of and for sustainable development * Participation for
sustainable development * Information, education and communications
* Strategy decision-making frameworks and procedures * The
financial basis for strategies * Monitoring and evaluation systems.
