IDRC launched its Strategic Plan 2015-2020 on April 1, 2015. Under the theme of “Investing in Solutions,” this plan refocuses the Centre’s vision on producing knowledge, innovation, and solutions to improve lives and livelihoods in the developing world.
IDRC will realize this vision by working toward three strategic objectives across its programming:
- investing in knowledge and innovation for large-scale positive change
- building leaders for today and tomorrow
- being the partner of choice for greater impact
As the Honourable Monte Solberg, Chairperson of IDRC’s Board of Governors, explains, “this plan spells changes for IDRC – perhaps most significantly that the Centre will focus its programming in fewer areas, while pursuing its work in more ambitious ways, so as to reach more people.”
“Investing in solutions is not new for IDRC,” says IDRC President Jean Lebel, “but the time has come to take our work to the next level. I firmly believe that our greatest opportunities and impacts are ahead of us.”
