Strategic Planning

In 2008 Sector for Strategic planning that works within the Department for Territorial Development of the Regional Development Agency stemmed out as a separate entity in the Department for Territorial development.

The need for establishing this branch in the organizational hierarchy of the Regional Agency arose as the result of current process of joining to European Union, considering the fact that one of the conditions for ascension to EU was that each self-government unit and state itself should possess its strategy for sustainable development, that is to say to implement the strategic and analytical way of thinking on both local and national level.  In correlation with the aforementioned EU funds put special emphasis on strategic-documentation ground in preparation of project applications that are submitted with the purpose of absorbing financial aid from the funds.

On the other hand, Sector for Strategic Planning has a meaningful role in stimulating local economic development on the territory of Šumadija and Pomoravlje, as one of the key prerequisites for realization of strategic planning, having in mind the tight relation between the two processes. Efficiency and effectiveness of the mentioned processes is accomplished through a high level of integration and coordination of Sector’s activities with the activities of local economic development offices in Šumadija and Pomoravlje.  This way a functional network of key agents is generated on local and regional level which stimulates local economic and sustainable development and creates initiatives that are of interest for whole region and its residents.

Listing the fields of expertise and spheres of activity of the Strategic Sector in the Department for Territorial Development within Regional Economic Development Agency for Šumadija and Pomoravlje leads to the key role of the sector which entails coordination of regional strategic development, whose final objective is to develop a regional sustainable development strategy for Šumadija and Pomoravlje.  Through a defined “umbrella document” for the territory of Šumadija and Pomoravlje, the strategic sector has a task to direct regional initiatives based on the identification of regional and inter-municipal projects. Projects defined in such a manner are a result of efficiently coordinated local economic development processes that are now intertwining and discovering common points that stimulate cooperation of local self-governments of the region to achieve higher mutual interests that will surpass local way of thinking and acting.

Strategic Planning within the Department for Territorial development also has the main role in the processes of implementation and further evaluation of both local and regional strategic documents based on meeting the requirements of sustainable development. Key segment of strategy implementation process are projects themselves and project ideas, whose realization will lead to realization of the strategic documents and to creation of positive influences on local and regional level, measured through regular annuity overviews of the situation and formed action plans for other stages of the process.

In accordance with above mentioned, the role of the strategic sector providing support for local self-governments from Šumadija and Pomoravlje in the field of project cycle management. Actually, already mentioned local economic development office in coordination with strategic sector is the main generator of project actions based on solving current problems, directed towards enhancement of quality of life on local and regional level.
