their activities with the plan.

plans into specific programs and projects.

Issues Related to National Planning

Unrealistic targets
E.g. reduction of poverty incidence, GNP growth rate etc.
Technical requirements vs. participatory
process
e.g. planning guidelines/parameters issued by NEDA may
not be easily understood by the common people e.g. NGOs
Local level planning capacity
