Our 5 Year Strategic Plan
Overview
Founded in 2015, Maasai Girls Initiative For Development is a Bristol-based international development charity. We collaborate with eight grassroots partner organisations based in three regions of northern Tanzania – Arusha, Kilimanjaro and Manyara. Our primary aim is to empower the most marginalised individuals (women, girls, and people living with HIV/AIDS and/or a disability) to overcome barriers to achieve improved decision-making power in relation to their personal educational learning outcomes, health and well-being, and livelihoods and resilience.

Our Strategic Plan (2017-2022) summarises Maasai Girls Initiative For Development’ ambitions and priorities for the next five years; priorities focus on women and girls, disability-inclusion and partnerships. Our plan is embedded in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all by addressing important global challenges including gender equality, good health and well-being, and clean water and sanitation. Read on for more information about our strategic priorities, the aims we want to achieve by 2022 and the way forward.

A Way Foward
Our Strategic Plan was developed with the participation of staff, volunteers, the Board of Trustees, and overseas partners in Tanzania and Ghana between April and September 2016. In order to improve efficiency, by 2022 Maasai Girls Initiative For Development plans to:
- Have a clear focus on supporting the most marginalised women and girls in the communities we work in.
- Have strengthened and invested in our own and partners’ innovation capacity to improve the quality and effectiveness of programmes.
- Have invested more systematically in partners’ capacity, including strengthening its operations in Tanzania.
- Strengthened rights-based approach through mainstreaming disability, ensuring inclusion of the most vulnerable women and girls in society.
- Explored options of partnership with new organisations such as universities and other local organisations by working in consortia where appropriate.
- Become more innovative and reflective in programmes and operations to increase impact and remain relevant in a changing context.
