2022-2024 Strategic Plan

2022 marks the Pan American Development Foundation’s (PADF) 60th anniversary of working with the most vulnerable populations of Latin America and the Caribbean in support of our mission to create a hemisphere of opportunity—for all. Our Strategic Plan for 2022-2024 continues our work with increased focus and better processes to achieve greater, more sustainable, and replicable impact.

The plan outlines PADF’s 2022-2024 trajectory, in alignment with the Organization of American States mandates, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and the foreign assistance priorities of our donors and host countries. The plan has three building blocks:

Presence & Partnerships — to effectively navigate the context of a complex and evolving development landscape in the Americas.

Sustain core/local presence in each Latin American and Caribbean sub-region.
Strengthen PADF thought leadership.
Speak up for the good of the region (communications and advocacy).

Purpose & Programs — to achieve sustainable development in the Americas through three core programmatic axes.

Address the needs of vulnerable populations.
Promote sustainable livelihoods.
Advance rights and justice.

Productivity & Processes — to improve the way we work.

Seamless digital connection throughout the hemisphere.
Develop and increase integration of PADF’s people across the hemisphere.
Become a more innovative, learning organization.
Strengthen PADF’s ability to measure impact.

The 2022-2024 Strategic Plan leverages PADF’s regional presence, experience working in challenging environments, and community-led, integrated responses to complex social, political, and economic challenges. The plan builds off our historic strengths, which, combined with the newly aligned programmatic axes, positions us to partner successfully with specialized and broad-based, for profit and non-profit development organizations, multilaterals, as well as with area and issue specific organizations and companies. It establishes immediate goals and sets the future direction for PADF. Staying true to PADF’s mission and vision, the 2022-2024 Strategic Plan identifies our priority areas and includes specific actions to reach our goals.
