Dear All,

R8 Strategic Planning Committee would like to refine/fine-tune the SWOT analysis previously conducted for the region. The committee thinks that it would be better to have a participatory approach in conducting the SWOT Analysis, and have therefore decided to automate the process and put on line.

We would very much appreciate if you could spare few minutes (estimated to be 11 minutes)  in filling up the forms which will provide us with the necessary information to have an accurate SWOT Analysis, which is the base for the Strategic Planning.

We are also interested in hearing your views and comments which can be added in this form.

Best regards.
The Committee
