Background

The previous AMDIN EXCO, which was elected in 2021, resolved to develop a strategic plan to guide the activities of the Network. In this regard, a Strategic Planning committee was established under the leadership of the Vice-President of Southern Africa. The Strategic Planning Committee developed the AMDIN five-year strategic plan covering 2022-2027 and was tabled at the 2024 AMDIN General Assembly. The decision taken was for the General Assembly to adopt the strategic plan as tabled and for AMDIN EXCO to finalise its implementation.

Introduction

The Strategic Plan sets the long-term direction of AMDIN that will guide the Network’s operations for the next five years (2022-2027) and be a vehicle in contributing to implementing MDI’s strategic objectives of sustainable development of the African public sector. The plan further serves as a planning and management tool for AMDIN operations. AMDIN’s vision is to be a leading public sector capacity-building network in Africa. This will be achieved through its mission of creating platforms that allow for articulating MDIs’ collective voice to develop leadership and management capacity in response to African development challenges and seek global engagements to enhance their governments.
