IACD's New Strategic Plan for 2011-2015

The Strategic Plan 2011 – 2015 was approved by the IACD Board meeting on July 9, 2011 in Lisboa, Portugal and is the fourth Strategic Plan published since 1999.
 
The preparation of Strategic Plan 2011 – 2015 took place over several months in late 2010 to early 2011.  An assessment was done of the accomplishments between 2007 and 2011.  A broad, web-based membership survey was conducted of the membership and supporters.  Interviews were also conducted with available Board Members and other stakeholders.
 
The purpose of this Strategic Plan 2011 – 2015 is to provide the IACD Board of Directors, staff, members, prospective funders and other interested parties with a forward agenda that contains longer term strategic direction for the organisation and planned levels of short to medium term activities.  
 
The IACD Strategic Priorities for the next four years and key actions are presented in detail starting on page 9 and summarized below:
 
1.0 Promote community development as a key method for addressing challenges, opportunities and priority issues in rural and urban areas locally, regionally and internationally.
 
2.0 Facilitate quality practice exchange, education, training, research and publications in support of practitioners, educators, researchers, policy analysts, activists and other community workers and organizers.
 
3.0 Engage practitioners, educators, researchers, policy analysts, activists and other community workers and organisers at country and regional levels and thereby promote their community-based planning and development work.
 
4.0 Ensure the short, medium and longer term sustainability of IACD.
