Description

The project and, by extension, the strategic plan too are therefore essential tools for the three-year strategic planning of “Diogenis NGO”, which has two objectives: (1) measuring, expanding, and optimizing the social impact of the street magazine Shedia for a more holistic and effective support and (2) the optimisation of the internal operation of the organisation and its sustainability, principally through the staffing of departments with trained, experienced staff. The first objective will be achieved mainly through (a) the creation of a comprehensive programme of support for people’s needs (psychosocial support, account, legal and employment counseling, skills’ development), (b) the systematic evaluation of programmes (impact assessment) and (c) the expansion of the impact of “Shedia” by selling the magazine in more cities and by creating new programmes. Regarding the second organisational goal, the optimisation of the operation and the strengthening of the organizational structure of Shedia will be achieved through (a) the creation of a trained and experienced department of programmes (b) the creation and support of departments of Communication, Development and Advocacy (c) the staff development through a training evaluation system and (d) the development of an internal culture of innovation, accountability, data analysis and transparency through the creation of a systematic financial monitoring plan and the creation of detailed reporting process.
