a. Social Development Plan - a compendium of proposed activities designed to deal with the identified issues and concerns relative to improving the state of well-being of the local population and upgrading the quality of social services such as health, education, welfare, housing and the like questions of equity and social justice and gender sensitivity are also addressed by this sectoral plan. Many programs and projects in this sector are of the "soft" non-capital type but they are as important as the capital investment or "hard" projects.
b. Economic Development Plan - embodies what the local government intends to do to create a favorable climate for private investments through a combination of policies and public investments to enable business and industry to flourish and, ultimately, assure the residents of a steady supply of goods and services and of jobs and household income. A very significant component of this sectoral plan is the LGU's support to agriculture and other food production activities and the promotion of tourism programs.
c. Infrastructure and Physical Development Plan - deals with the infrastructure building program and the land acquisition required as right-of-way or easements of public facilities. The physical development plan may include proposals for the redevelopment of old and declining sections of the locality, opening up new settlement areas or development of new growth centers in conformity with the chosen spatial strategy.
d. Environmental Management Plan - consolidates the environmental implications of all development proposals within the city and provides mitigating and preventive measures for their anticipated impacts. It embodies programs for maintaining cleanliness of air, water and land resources and rehabilitating or preserving the quality of natural resources to enable them to support the requirements of economic development and ecological balance across generations. A major component of this sectoral plan will also include measures to minimize the vulnerability of the local residents to natural hazards and disasters.
e. Institutional Development Plan - focuses on strengthening the capability of the local government bureaucracy as well as elected officials to plan and manage the development of the city. Manpower development, fiscal management and program/project management are the vital components of this sectoral plan. This sectoral plan likewise promotes the involvement of voluntary groups or civil society organization in the preparation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the different sectoral programs, projects and activities.
