WOCAN Strategic Plan for 2011-2015
To support the two main goals of women's leadership and policy advocacy, WOCAN will undertake knowledge generation/sharing and networking activities through its Research for Development and Networking programs. These functions will be enhanced through two teams of experts in leadership development and advocacy, comprised of an expanded group of WOCAN Core Associates with special expertise in these areas.
To better serve its members and address its mission, WOCAN has moved its headquarters to Bangkok, Thailand. Our new base in Asia will allow us to make the implementation of project activities more effective and ‘grounded' in a local context, and makes it easier to manage our Asian and African teams of Leader Trainers for Women's Leadership Development and Advocacy Experts, while working more closely with women farmers' groups and members in South and Southeast Asia. We also expect to improve fund raising prospects.
The structure of WOCAN has been revised to include regional offices in Asia and Africa, and the establishment of Women's Leadership Circles in six to eight countries within the Asian and African regions, depending upon interests and opportunities. To manage this increased scope and level of activities within these two regions, the executive staff of the secretariat office will expand. Liaison staff will continue to work from their strategic locations in Rome, Italy and Washington, DC.
