Regional development is related to multisectoral approach and as a consequence planning of regional development is not possible without applying knowledge from different sectors, creating connection between them and finding balances at territorial level. Strategic objectives and priorities of regional development at national and regional level have to be in compliance with other sectoral priorities. Lack of compliance can result in negative effects of sectoral activities on regional development meaning that their investments could increase regional differences and endanger potentials of less developed areas. Therefore, sectoral strategic documents (in drafts or adopted) are also of great importance for regional development. Due to large number of such documents, this webpage will list only some of them.
System for strategic planning in Republic of Croatia is developing and in December, 2017 Act on system for strateic planningand development management in the Republic of Croatia (NN 123/17) was adopted. Act presribes details on preparation, design, implementation, reporting and monitoring on implementation and evaluation of strategic planning documents. The main document of strategic planning, according to this Act, will be National Development Strategy. As communication tool, the website Hrvatska 2030 (Croatia 2030) is design to enable public to monitor preparation and to include their proposal for future Strategy. |

Sectoral strategic documents at regional and local level
In many cases, counties, municipalities and towns also initiate preparation of their own strategical documents for most relevant sectors. Some of examples are tourism master plans developed at different levels or strategies for human potential development (supported by EU funds) developed for each county.
