BACKGROUND
Ifrah Foundation’s current Strategic Plan covers the period **Apply
on the website** – *.
PURPOSE OF THE STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS
The purpose of the development of the Strategic Plan for Ifrah
Foundation is to provide the Board, staff and key stakeholders with an
opportunity to reflect on our current work, identify its strengths,
and where there is scope for improvement and development. The
resulting plan will provide organisational management with a clear
direction for the progression of the organisation over the next five
years. It will facilitate decision-making and ensure that
organisational delivery is in line both with the operating context and
with funding available to the organisation. As these are subject to
significant change during the lifetime of a five year plan, the plan
will also outline strategies available to the organisation to adapt
and respond flexibly to emerging challenges and opportunities.
OBJECTIVES
* Review the organisational vision and mission statement.
* Set out objectives and actions required to deliver the vision and
mission statement.
* Identify the key risks, how these will be monitored and mitigated.
* Develop indicators to monitor progress, both in terms of
organisational development and impact of Ifrah Foundation’s work.
* Set out how Ifrah Foundation will ensure that it is compliant with
statutory and other regulations in relation to the governance of
charitable organisations.
AREAS FOR CONSIDERATION FOR A NEW STRATEGIC PLAN
* Included in the analysis of the external environment other critical
issues should be considered including:
* the recent and persistent decrease in funding to frontline
organisations
* the opportunities to partner and align with organisations and
consortiums with similar mandate and objectives
* the broader pushback on gender equality efforts, being experienced
globally
* The strategic plan should acknowledge the constantly changing
political and social environment. Therefore, an emphasis on
organisational adaptability and flexibility should be considered in
its choice of objectives.
* An estimated budget for the duration of the plan should be
included.
* Internal annual operational plans will be developed after
completion of the Strategic Plan.
