ABSTRACT: The study is based on selected strategic interventions which include: Human Capital Development (HCD), Governance, and Data Management Systems (DMS) on achieving Sustainable Inclusive Economies in Low and Middle income Countries (LMCs). It may be of vital use to Policy Makers, Academicians, and Researchers. It focuses on Sustainable Inclusive Economies while analyzing the various ex-ante components using a growth diagnostic approach. The study analyzes the applicability and relevance of Strategic Management Interventions. These are considered to be important tools when included in the policy mix to achieve sustainable inclusive development to current and future generations. The paper indicates the major challenges and solutions to achieve sustainable inclusive economies in LMCs. The 17 UNESCO 2030 goals aims to create a more sustainable, inclusive and equitable future for all. A cross-sectional design with Systematic Review and an Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average Model (ARIMA) for time series were used from 1990 to 2024. Google Scholars data base and AI ChartGPT were used to explore the use of Strategic Management Interventions on achieving Sustainable Inclusive Economies in LMCs from 1990 to 2024. The search terms used include “Strategy” “Governance” “Data Management” “Human resources” “Sustainability” and “Inclusivity”. The study’s main contribution is that though strategic management has been widely accepted by scholars as the intervention that can facilitate the realization of institutional goals, its appreciation and practical applicability has been mainly at the firm level. The study concludes that Governance plays a central role as a strategic tool to promote the realization of Sustainable Inclusive Economies in LMCs. Governance empower communities with the required skills, produce accountable, responsible leaders. Governance helps to build DMS to facilitate decision making to achieve social, economic, and environment sustainability goals.
