Planning and development concepts have independently evolved in their meaning until jointly configuring the development planning technique. Now then, by virtue of the fact that concepts make up realities, even institutions, this article proposes that the first step towards the development of a country is the consensus around the definition of such term, as it must be related to the cultural, historical, anthropological and geographic aspects that determine a nation; otherwise it would be unfruitful to design public policies. After a deductive exercise, it was concluded that the consensus on the meaning of development must be followed by the insertion thereof as a public institution in the structure of the State, as economic planning of development must be a state matter and not a government matter, which, this way will guarantee the dignification of the human individual and the non-use of the State for the stingy satisfaction of personal interests.
