Our Strategy and Goals
Building on our strong history, this five-year period will see Assisi Aid Projects, become a focused, enduring, and impactful international development organisation:
- Shift our focus from broad women’s empowerment to that of economic empowerment for women, addressing their social and gender constraints
- Proactively pursue expansion of effective partnerships (both program and funding related) within the Asia-Pacific region, at a pace that ensures sustainability
- Deepen and optimise our international development impact.
We will achieve our strategy through harnessing our healthy collegial culture and optimising impact by reinforcing our pillars of expertise, partnership, funding, and organisational strength.
