Strategies for Sustainable Development
Strategy formulation
Country ownership and participation, leadership and initiative in
developing their strategies.
There is enough for everybody’s need, but not for anybody’s greed
- Mahatma Gandhi

(c) mzsengineeringtechnologies 2
Strategies for Sustainable Development
Strategy formulation
Broad consultation, including particularly with the poor and with
civil society, to open up debate on new ideas and information,
expose issues to be addressed, and build consensus and political
support on action.

(c) mzsengineeringtechnologies 3
Strategies for Sustainable Development Strategy formulation
Ensuring sustained beneficial impacts on disadvantaged and
marginalised groups and on future generations.

(c) mzsengineeringtechnologies 4
Strategies for Sustainable Development Strategy formulation
Building on existing strategies and processes, rather than adding
additional ones, to enable convergence and coherence.
 A solid analytical basis, taking account also of relevant regional
issues, including a comprehensive review of the present situation and
forecasts of trends and risks.
 Integration of economic, social and environmental objectives
through mutually supportive policies and practices and the
management of tradeoffs.
Realistic targets with clear budgetary priorities.

Strategies for Sustainable Development

Capacity development
 Strengthening and building on existing country capacity —
public, civil society, and private — as part of the strategy process.

Linking national and local levels, including supporting

Establishing continuous monitoring and evaluation systems

Example of Sustainable Development: Solar Energy

Solar energy is radiant light and heat from the Sun that is harnessed
using a range of ever-evolving technologies such as solar heating,
photovoltaic, solar thermal energy, solar architecture, molten salt
power plants and artificial photosynthesis.

Example of Sustainable Development: Solar Energy
Importance of Solar Energy
It is an important source of renewable energy and its technologies
are broadly characterized as either passive solar or active solar
depending on how they capture and distribute solar energy or
convert it into solar power.
Active solar techniques include
the use of photovoltaic systems,
concentrated solar power and solar
water heating to harness the energy.
Passive solar techniques include
orienting a building to the Sun,
selecting materials with favourable
thermal mass or light dispersing
properties, and designing spaces
that naturally circulate air.

Measures identified / Suggested
Measured Suggested:
1. Government national action plan and policy focus for
sustainable development of rural areas.
2. Training and awareness programs in remote areas
3. Providing soft loans/incentives/ subsidies for solar systems
installed in rural areas
4. Mandating PV installations for hot water and process heat in
residential and industrial sectors
5. Setting up demonstrative projects/ systems to display its
benefits
6. Deploy support schemes in collaboration with international
development organisations
7. R&D facilities for efficient and economic technology
innovations
