Practical elaboration of the methodological framework for integrated and participatory local development planning (MiPRO) strictly follows the conceptual basis outlined in the first theoretical part of the methodology. In the theoretical part the emphasis was on the following:
- developing principles on which the methodology is founded;
- refining its purpose and aims;
- understanding interactions with other key development documents (both at the local and other levels);
- general description of the process and levels of integrated local development planning, from strategic through tactical to operational level;
- elaborating the purpose, nature, scope, structure and basic contents of integral development documents (from integrated strategies, through sectoral development plans, operational implementation and financial plans).
