Thank you so much, but I am still confused and then what is a meaning difference between to V and for V ing here and when do we use a strategy for ing or a strategy to V?
And I think that the forms are sometimes interchangeable for the same meaning like
a meeting for discussing the issue or a meeting to discuss the issue
plans for making jobs
