Strategic planning begins several processes that govern how USAID plans and manages country or regional programs. It starts with country or regional planning in which the best strategic approach is determined based on the parameters of budget, development policy, resources, and data available in a specific region or country. This process culminates in a Country or Regional Development Cooperation Strategy and related results framework. This process provides an opportunity to review lessons from previous experience, data, and evidence and then explore different hypotheses. The resources below can support strategic planning for nutrition programming.
