Executive Summary

Strategic planning is fundamentally the foundation on which an organisation devices a plan to succeed. In order for an organisation to have staying power and prevail, it depends on its ability to successfully undertake the systematic process of strategic planning and sustain a lengthy competitive advantage in the market place. The beginning of the process involves developing a vision, a mission statement and stating the organisation’s values.

The setting of this assignment will be a newly established organisation that I’m involved with, Namibia Network for HIV/AIDS Prevention and Control, a non for profit, non-Governmental organisation (NGO) that strives to combat HIV/AIDS in Namibia. The assignment also touches on an internal analysis of the organisation and an analysis of its external environment as well as crafting strategies and identifying there appropriateness.
