Strategic Plan 2019

The Maldivian Red Crescent’s Strategic Plan 2019-2030 is its third Strategic Plan. This Strategic Plan aims to set a long term direction for the organisation to consolidate its organisational mandate and identity in the Maldives. This 12 year plan includes broader objective statements that are set against the year 2030 with the intention of aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Agenda. Complementing the objective statements are four year results frameworks that will allow for evaluating and reviewing the organisations performance regularly, and shall be updated every four years to meet the stated 2030 goals.

This MRC Strategic Plan 2019-2030 centres on the concept of resilience. It advocates a shift in thinking and practice, recognising the need for better coherence in the areas of disaster management, climate change, and development work. This approach aims to increase effectiveness of MRC’s humanitarian role and work done in Disaster Risk Management.

This shift is also better aligned with the IFRC’s work on resilience and the emphasis on better integrated approaches for roles in Disaster Risk Reduction. This thinking is further reflected in the alignment with other key global development agendas such as the SDGs, Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, and the Paris Agreement. To achieve national and island resilience, this plan outlines six strategic priorities for the MRC.
