Institutional Development Program (IDP)
Strategic Objective: To develop a relevant, dynamic and inspiring organization that is increasingly and flexibly living up to its principles.
Background
​
AFIRD's Institutional Development (ID) strategic objective is to develop a relevant, dynamic, and inspiring organization that lives up to its principles. The previous strategic direction (2017-2021) focused on six key result areas, achieving successes such as introducing medical insurance and reviewing the salary structure. However, challenges like COVID-19 and limited funding hindered the implementation of some activities.
Strategies
To achieve its ID strategic objective, AFIRD has identified six key result areas with specific activities:
-
Governance: Establish functional governance structures, ensure regular board meetings, and develop governance policies.
-
Human Resource Development: Strengthen HRD by reviewing and implementing HR policies, developing staff roles and responsibilities, and providing training and development opportunities.
-
Planning, Monitoring, and Evaluation: Enhance planning, monitoring, and evaluation by streamlining the department, recruiting an M&E staff, and intensifying data-driven decision-making.
-
Financial Management and Resource Mobilization: Diversify funding sources, improve financial management, and develop a resource mobilization strategy
-
Knowledge Management: Strengthen knowledge management by developing a knowledge management strategy, documenting activities, and sharing information through digital technology.
-
Public Relations: Enhance public relations by developing a communication strategy, improving online presence, and engaging in corporate social responsibility activities.

The six key result areas are:
-
Effective governance structures

Competent and motivated staff
