  2. NATIONAL STRATEGY

  3. NATIONAL INTERESTS Strategic planning at the national level is driven and influenced by certain identified interests which are so dear to the nation. They can be further classified into the following critical and essential categories of interests: • SURVIVAL • NATIONAL SECURITY • SOVEREIGNITY • ECONOMIC WELLBEING • NATIONAL UNITY AND COHESION • NATIONAL VALUES

  4. Once the national interests have been identified, it is the duty of the planning process to examine and analyze the issues with a view to determining appropriate strategies or measures that can best protect and promote that particular area of interest. This is arrived at by weighing various options available and the requisite resources available for employment. To address this the following elements of power can be employed singly or in combination: NATIONAL STRATEGY (GRAND STRATEGY) DIPLOMACY POLITICAL TECHNOLOGY ECONOMIC MILITARY
