Planëve

Planëve is a term used in Albanian-language discourse to denote a coordinated set of policy plans or strategic initiatives. It is not a fixed technical term in international planning, but appears in certain planning documents and academic discussions as a generic label for an integrated package of measures.

Etymology and usage: The word is formed from plan, the Albanian noun for "plan," with the plural suffix -ëve and a collective sense. In some texts, Planëve is used as a common noun; in others, it is capitalized as a proper noun referring to a specific policy package.

Concept and scope: A Planëve typically comprises multiple interrelated plans across sectors such as economy, housing, transportation, environment, and social services, designed to be implemented within a defined time horizon. It is often accompanied by governance arrangements, funding strategies, milestones, and indicators to monitor progress.

Application: In practice, Planëve functions as an organizing concept for presenting a cluster of measures to policymakers, stakeholders, and the public. The approach favors coherence, phased implementation, and result-oriented evaluation. The term’s exact composition and emphasis vary by region and author.
