National Strategic Direction for the Transition Period

September 10, 2019

The forces of freedom and change, with their various components, and through the task forces, put forward proposals to manage the transitional phase and address the most urgent issues that have emerged in the preparation of emergency programs and the identification of alternative policies and the identification of the most important axes to focus on.

 

I believe that the mechanism of action moved directly and jumped to the executive planning stage without clarifying the strategic direction of the transitional phase, what is the national vision, mission, national values ​​for this stage, what is the required national development strategy, the sectional results, the desired level of results and the indicators to measure them.

Therefore, we find the absence of strategic thought as a philosophy and institutional framework is required to bring about the desired change until the principles of coherence, coordination, and integration are realized and role-play between the federal and provincial levels and including the ministries and government institutions in the center and regions.

 

The following is a proposal to define the national strategic direction of the transition as a precondition and very important because it reflects the overall goals, objectives and overall mechanisms of the state (central government and provincial governments), which is the umbrella and compass under which the results and objectives, programs, policies, projects and activities at the level of ministries or institutions during the period of The time frame for developing a strategic development plan for the transitional period.

This national orientation is guided and directed to the strategic plans at the level of ministries and government institutions for the transitional period, which represent the tools and mechanisms of the state in achieving its national orientation.
