The Strategic Plan provides direction for the Ministry in responding to the changing environment and associated challenges in the domestic, regional, and global economic and developmental realities. This strategic plan is driven by the overarching ministry vision, mission and core values.

The Strategic Plan provides clear strategies and detailed activities for realizing its strategic objectives and Key Result areas (KRAs). It further provides the actual process through which the strategic objectives will be achieved, the requisite resources needed and assigns responsibility for action and follow up.

The Strategic Plan has been broken down into detailed annual plans and a monitoring and implementation framework to be implemented by the respective departments and agencies under the Ministry.

The Plan further identifies the key strategic issues and assesses the Ministry’s strengths, weaknesses, threats, and opportunities based on which the strategic outcomes, strategies, and objectives that the Ministry will pursue over the short term has been formulated. 

The strategic plan is therefore pivotal in guiding the Ministry in the quest to deliver its mandate, particularly through improved performance.
