As communities continue to get challenged in their sustainability status, strategic planning is increasingly becoming the only hope for upholding these communities. In fact, by being strategically focused in our planning, we will be able to make rational decisions on what to do and not what to do. These among other aspects will be very vital as we go strategic at the community level. It is therefore my sincere hope that this practical guide will provide guidance to many with interest in community development.
