The Strategic Planning Guide for Universities was prepared by the Presidency of the Republic of Türkiye Strategy and Budget Directorate and serves as a fundamental reference for guiding public institutions—particularly higher education institutions—through their strategic planning processes.
Developed within the framework of the Public Financial Management and Control Law No. 5018, this guide aims to ensure that public resources are used effectively, economically, efficiently, and accountably. It envisions the preparation of strategic plans in harmony with national development plans and Presidential programs, the establishment of a strong link between planning, budgeting, monitoring, and evaluation processes, and the continuous development of institutional capacity and performance.
In universities, strategic planning is of great importance for strengthening institutional identity and culture, ensuring the effective use of resources in line with priorities, increasing competitiveness, and aligning higher education services with societal needs. As a planned service delivery mechanism, strategic plans serve as the essential roadmap that defines the future direction of universities, fostering institutional learning and sustainable development.
Hitit University prepares its Strategic Plan in line with the methods and principles defined in this guide and conducts the process with a participatory, data-driven, and sustainable management approach.
This guide constitutes a key policy document that supports the planned development, accountability, and quality assurance of higher education institutions.
