About the IFEH Strategic Plan 2019

At its Council meeting in Auckland on the 18th March 2018, the representatives from the national organisations raised various issues, which was captured in a document called “Scoping Strategy Points”.

At this meeting it was agreed to review the current strategy and create a new three- year Strategic Plan. This task was mandated to the incoming President of the IFEH.

A number of project teams were created each tasked with specific identified issues or concerns as per the discussions captured in the scoping strategy points by the former Honorary Secretary.

The project teams were divided into the following areas:

• Communication Strategy/ Plan
• Finance Committee
• History of the IFEH
• Marketing and Membership Strategy/ Plan
• Good Governance, Branding and Procedure Manual

Each of the project teams submitted their reports with recommendations.

These reports and recommendations together with the scoping strategy points laid the basis to create a new three-year Strategic Plan. The strategic plan was adopted by IFEH at the Council Meeting and AGM in Kampala in 2019.

As the Strategic Plan is an iterative and living document, updates on progress are made to the IFEH Council meetings and the implementation of the plan is a standing agenda item for IFEH Board meetings.
