Description
The PASSIA training program on Strategic Planning was implemented during the period May-July 1998. It included lectures on the concepts of civil society in general, and its application in the Middle East in particular. Furthermore, the evolution of Palestinian civil society, its relation to the government and its role in the state-building process were discussed. The main part of the training program focused on the function, purpose, process, and implementation of strategic planning and related issues, such as project design, institutional development, and evaluation and monitoring as part of the planning process. The lecture program included case studies to elaborate the context of strategic management in Palestine and the region. This publication contains the proceedings and instructions of the training program and can be used as a handbook.
