ASANRA’s current Strategic and Business Plan (2020-2025) was due to expire at the end of the 2025 financial year. In view of this, there was a need to develop a new Strategic and Business Plan to provide strategic direction, priorities and a framework for implementing the Association’s programmes and activities for the next five-year period, 2026–2031.
During the 46th Board Meeting held in Harare, Zimbabwe, the Board approved that the new Strategic and Business Plan be developed internally by nominated representatives from ASANRA Member States. The decision was aimed at ensuring that the new plan reflects the priorities, needs and aspirations of the Member States and provides a clear strategic framework for the Association’s operations.
Against this background, members of the ASANRA Technical Working Group from Malawi, Namibia, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe participated in a one-week Strategic and Business Plan Workshop held at Sunbird Livingstone Beach Hotel in Salima, Malawi, from 23–27 March 2026.
The workshop provided a platform for the Technical Working Group members to review the Association’s strategic direction, identify key priorities and formulate strategic objectives and interventions to guide ASANRA’s activities during the 2026–2030 planning period.
