EVALYemen has developed strategic plan to guide the implementation of its Programme activities and projects and achieve the results agreed upon for the benefit of its Members. The focus over the coming five years has been to be the leader of Monitoring and Evaluation in Yemen and to promote professionalization throughout a collective set of actions aiming to equip evaluators with strong values, knowledge and skills in evaluation that supports the likelihood of quality and useful evaluations, to develop and strengthen culture and evaluation practices related to humanitarian relief and development, Youth, SDGs, environment, and government policies in Yemen for the benefit of the citizens they serve.
To develop the Strategic Plan document, a participatory approach was used and it included EVALYemen Key founders, stakeholder consultations, management group members and literature review. The key members of EvalYemen were requested to review the strategic plan and make suggestions of objectives and strategies that are still relevant to EVALYemen vision and mission.
EVALYemen Key founders have distributed the roles and responsibilities to develop the plan which has been carried out from November 2020 to February 2021.
To facilitate the success of EVALYemen strategic plan, and to be a consensus document of the EVALYemen, and to achieve its expectations, this process involved internal and external stakeholders. The founder of the EVALYemen has provided leadership, but take into consideration any divergent views of participants in developing this strategic plan.
The developing of this plan was made voluntary with no registered cost due to the financial constraints that has limited the ability to contract with international expert consultant to provide an international thought for this strategic plan.
The Strategic Plan is an important aspect of governance and strategic management. It is to ensure that stakeholders, are working towards common goals; establish agreement around intended outcomes/results; assess and adjust the organization’s direction in response to a changing environment; set priorities; strengthen operations and focus on value for money.
It aims to fulfill its mission and to ensure that, through effective preparation, its programmes and support activities are best positioned to achieve its long-term goals and objectives.
