STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK. This strategy framework section follows the preceding situational analysis section that assessed the existing co‐operatives’ situation and trends of the eThekwini Municipality. In the conclusion of the situational analysis section, a breakdown of the eThekwini’s co‐operatives in terms of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) was presented. The current section deals with the formulation of a strategic framework and interventions that are necessary to turn around the current state of co‐operatives in the eThekwini Municipality. This will be achieved through the creation of a vision, mission and strategy which take into consideration the projects within the area as well as stakeholder linkages and project implementation. The section starts by presenting the developed vision, mission and a number of principles that will be taken into consideration in the implementation of various suggested key interventions. Then comes the holistic developed strategy.
