WASDA’s current Strategic Plan sets out to address three goals that will guide the organisation for five years. The organization’s approach will shift to a more enabling and facilitating role, supporting innovation and providing technical support. This is aimed at providing the acute needs of disaster-affected populations, and strengthening the capacities of WASDA’s constituents to use existing resources to find solutions to their challenges and improve their lives
GOAL 1
To address multi-dimensional aspects of food and nutrition insecurity:In both Somalia and Kenya, WASDA will work towards seeking solutions to challenges around food and nutrition security and build local adaptation to climate change
GOAL 2 To support communities to access resources: Access to clean water and sanitation are essential for improved nutrition and health, while education enhances peoples’ ability to adapt their behaviour and better their lives, and to demand appropriate services. Education is an investment for the future, vital for economic growth, and a priority for communities in WASDA’s programme areas
GOAL 3
To strengthen local capacities and partnerships to enable our communities’ participation in development and decision making: With the new constitution and devolved governance structure in Kenya, the citizenry is getting more involved in development initiatives. WASDA engages its constituencies to harness their strengths and capacities in addressing development needs. This entails devoting a lot of effort in linking people to devolved systems and working with local groups in demanding change from their government and local actors
