The fundamental purpose of the National Integrated Development Strategy (NIDS) is to balance development across economic sectors and the geographical districts of the British Virgin Islands (BVI), and to establish a path of sustainable development. This publication describes the effort of the BVI to change its approach to development planning. The areas of discussion include: the planning framework; strategy/approach; projects; strengths and weaknesses; and lessons learned in the co-ordination and the bureaucratic processes.
