Analytical background and SWOT workshops
Preparation of strategic documents is a complex process even in cases of sectoral strategies. When it comes to regional development, many sectors and different territorial needs should be take into consideration and that makes the process even more complex. To achieve greater quality of final document, it is necessary to prepare different background documents, studies and analytical documents which include different analyses and statistical data, sometimes also useful for other purposes and users. Analytical background prepared for the future Strategy of Regional Development is available in Croatian at the webpage of the Ministry. One of the steps in drafting new Strategy was defining development priorities at NUTS 2 level. More efficient research of development challenges and potentials is enabled through five SWOT workshops organised during December, 2015 (3 in Continental and 2 in Adriatic Croatia). Presentations used during workshops are available in Croatian at the webpage of the Ministry.
