In September, Albanian YBH4WBT network members were engaged in a challenging program training such as Organization Strategic Planning.  What is the organization doing and is it taking the right steps and pattern for achieving its mission? were the two key questions to answer and work on.  Strategic planning process helps organizations in addressing these questions, providing a sense of direction and outlining measurable goals. It is a useful tool for guiding day-to-day decisions and also for evaluating progress and changing approaches when moving forward. During the training, each of the grantee organization, assisted by the PA experts, conducted a detailed analysis of the current organization managing structures, programme areas and services, human and financial resources, partners and networks etc. As a result, the three organizations developed a step by step Strategic Action Plan to provide sustainable and long-term results.
