Role
1Strategic planning
The NPCA’s compelling agenda is derived from its mandate it receives from the AU. The output of this process is therefore a NPCA strategic plan setting out the compelling agenda, strategy as well as a detailed business plan. Furthermore, the strategy is tracked, reviewed and evaluated throughout the year and adjusted when necessary. The process of developing a strategy will be based on a collaborative approach between NPCA, AUC and RECs.
Strategic Stakeholder
Management and Advocacy
Stakeholder relationships and interests need to be clearly
defined to ensure the NPCA meets the expectations of the different stakeholder
groups. It also supports all the required processes to enable the
NPCA to build strong partnership especially with civil society
and the private sector to deliver on its mandate. Finally the
advocacy role is a fundamental process to build the brand and
image of the NPCA and communicate what the NPCA’s role and achievements are.
