Many organisations have a strategy document that sits on a shelf. A useful strategy is short, clear about priorities, linked to budgets and owned by the people who have to deliver it. We help you build one.
For NGOs, councils and donor-funded programmes, we can align your strategy with funder requirements and national development priorities, and set out the results framework funders will expect to see.
A useful strategy in Sierra Leone has to deal with real conditions: currency movements, changes in tax and regulation, funding cycles, the availability of skilled staff and the pace of digital change. For NGOs, councils and donor-funded programmes it also has to line up with funder requirements and national development priorities.
We keep the plan short and practical, tie it to a budget prepared with our accountants, and set out how progress will be measured. Read more in our article Business strategic planning: charting a path to sustainable success.
