Multinational Interagency Strategic Planning - Strategic Planning Guide, Version 8

Abstract

This document is a guide intended to facilitate the development of a comprehensive approach when planning a multinational response to a given crisis or conflict at the political and strategic level. It describes a possible framework for high level governmental actors to develop a strategy in order to engage in crisis or conflict resolution, based on the following building blocks: (1) a common assessment of the situation, (2) the identification of the desired outcomes and (3) initial considerations regarding the approach, the means and the evaluation methodology to be followed to measure the progress of the intervention. Its analysis relies on the theory of change focusing on the roots of the crisis. The process enables the definition of a crisis resolution concept and an associated strategy that considers which types of instruments of power to favor. The designation of specific actors responsible for implementation remains a national prerogative.
