Act! recently presented its strategic plan covering the period 2016-2019 to development partners during a meeting held at Fairview Hotel, Nairobi. The new strategy titled “Collaborating for Sustainable Impact” builds on past successes and Act!’s transformation from Pact Kenya to Act! in 2011.
In the new plan, Act! will continue to focus on capacity development- a core function of its development work, as well as strengthening partnerships with governments both at national and county level and with the private sector with a view of influencing policies and best practice to address development challenges in Kenya.
“The challenges and the changing global environment in which we operate calls for new ways of management and strong partnerships as alluded in the new plan. This strategy marks a major paradigm shift towards a more partner-centered approach as we seek to sharpen our development approach and better demonstrate the impact of our work”, said Mr. Francis Aywa, Board Chairman, Act!.
The key strategic priorities of the Plan include:
- Improved participation of citizens’-groups in governance processes in Kenya.
- Sustainable environmental and natural resources management and utilization
- Improved co existence and peaceful resolution of conflict
- Enhanced capacity of our partners to execute their mandate
- Enhanced organizational and financial sustainability.
- The meeting was attended by representatives from USAID, Royal Danish Embassy, French Development Agency and Ford Foundation.
