Abstract: According to social scientists, namely; public administration scientists, political scientists, economists, sociologists, students and readers, planning is now viewed and accepted as an indispensible activity in the public sector, as opposed to the ancient point of view that to foretell the future did not reside within the province of humankind's capabilities. As a matter of fact, planning with reference to contemporary thinking is accorded a necessary element in governmental activities, as is evident from the uses of various terms and concepts such as policy planning, development planning, economic planning, social planning, rural planning, urban planning, and governmental planning to mention but a few; and the latter concept, that is, governmental planning, is the subject this article.

Keywords: planning, policy planning, economic planning, development planning, indispensable activity, and governmental planning, foretell the future.
