The Organization’s mission statement
The development aid organization
See also Mission
We need to begin with a good understanding of Organization's approach. Organization's global programme aims to deliver significant impact on poverty and suffering through long-term development, campaigning and advocacy, and humanitarian preparedness and response.
The organization may also have prepared a Strategic Plan that outlines Organization overall priorities.
These have been established through a process of examining trends, looking at opportunities for change to happen where the Organization has the capacity to make a contribution, reviewing the successes and failures in our current work and looking at organisational issues such as funding.
All programme and project work is guided by a set of Principles and expected quality standard.
The mission statement must be reflected on the organizational culture and vice-versa.
See aslo: Characteristics of a development aid organization;
For Understanding Organization's strategy one need to understand how the Organizations answers to these questions:
What is "quality" in development/humanitarian programmes and how can we set the "standards"?
What are the links between knowledge management, learning and institutional development?
How can we manage collaborations so as to improve one's own organizational capacity?
How can we manage collaborations so as to achieve high reputation?
