This document was guided by the Modified Fred David?s Strategic Management Model Integrating S Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)and Capacity Building Framework for external and internal environment analyses. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable development (United nations [UN], 2015), adopted by all UN Member States in 2015, provide a shared blueprint towards ending poverty and other deprivations and underscore the most relevant global socio-economic issues besetting the less developed economies.

Desk review, secondary data, and accounts from key informant interviews and consultations facilitated the conduct of Modified Fred David?s Strategic Management Model.
