Constructing the Strategic Framework 1 Consultation and Data Gathering Consultation and data gathering is the foundation of the planning process. A preliminary consultation workshop was held with key stakeholders in the city to develop a SWOT and brainstorm critical themes that emerge through an action planning exercise. Data was also gathered from a variety of sources: household surveys, FGDs, and KIIs looked to residents and experts in the city to offer their perspectives and key information on their livelihoods as well as expert opinions on planning and infrastructure. Spatial and statistical data as well as previous reports and plans helped to substantiate data gathered to form a profile of the city from which to understand the key drivers of city growth.
2 Baseline Data Assessment and Diagnostic Systems Lens The data gathered was assessed with respect to the consultative workshops. Systems lenses were identified based on key sectors and categories of data to build city profile within the baseline data assessment and diagnostic. These preliminary critical themes and systems lenses inform the final synthesis of critical thematic framework.
3 Synthesis of Critical Themes Framework The process of synthesizing the critical themes framework built upon the consultation workshop with key stakeholders to identify key areas of priority investment. This included a framework for evaluating the areas of need based on the goals elaborated within the National Urban Policy and Sustainable Development Goals. From this, five final critical themes were identified to structure the strategic framework. Within these themes, goals have been identified that relate to key drivers, the city consultative action planning exercise, and national priorities.
