ICROSS launches its 5th five year strategic plan 2011-2016

Today ICROSS released its latest five year plan. The strategic direction of ICROSS 2011-2016
takes into account the worsening poverty and increasing number of droughts in Sub Saharan Africa.
Our rights based approach has developed over the last thirty years learning from decades of public health and
disaster management. Apart from detailing our programmes targeting the most vulnerable children it sets out our community
health programme priorities. It also details our corporate governance, transparency, accountability and risk management policies as
an NGO and as a charity non profit.

This latest policy document sets the trend and focus of ICROSS rural health programmes for the future.
It details who we are and what we stand for, states our values and commitment to long term service and action.
The future is an exciting series of challenges. With a broad mix of skills, a great deal of expertise and a young fresh
team with new ideas and energy we have a young spirit and an insatiable energy to learn from our research and grow
with our communities. In this the 5th five year plan our direction is detailed until 2016. It is the result of community planning,
group work shops and feedback from partners and stakeholders nationally and internationally .

The International Director Dr Michael Meegan said " five member team who compiled the latest plan have over 130 person years of
field experience serving African communities and personal skills ranging from gender rights and community development to programme
management and global health. As with all strategies, this policy is dynamic and flexible constantly incorporating new innovations and developments."
