"This is an overview of strategic planning tools designed for Nepalese community radios. In plane language, it introduces to the basics of strategic planning, situation and stakeholder analysis, long-term vision and guiding principles, identification of risk factors, definition of indicators and the implementation of strategic planning. Many graphs and tables illustrate and facilitate the use of the different concepts, as well as the concrete example of a strategic plan in the annex. Every issue is treated quite briefly, so maybe reading this manual will not be enough to really start a strategic planning process. Nevertheless, it serves the purpose of an introduction quite well."
