These plans generally involve utilizing a planning strategy where community residents are asked to provide ideas and interests. NGO staff assists the community to develop specific plans to meet realistic ideas engendered. The planning process includes conducting market studies to insure that the business ventures being contemplated are truly viable under current and anticipated market conditions
