This five-year strategic plan outlines Centre LSD’s vision to deepen its mission of building strategic leadership for sustainable development in Africa. Drawing on 13 years of institutional experience, the plan identifies key thematic priorities: leader and leadership development, strategic management training, governance and accountability, climate action, natural resource management, and social inclusion. It also sets bold targets, including raising $9 million in resources, expanding programming across Africa, and strengthening internal systems for impact.

Structured through a participatory process involving staff, trustees, and stakeholders, the plan provides contextual analysis, organizational assessment, strategic objectives, and a robust monitoring and evaluation framework. It reflects Centre LSD’s identity as a thought leader in strategy and development and charts a pathway for scaling its influence, reinforcing transparency, and empowering citizens to drive transformative change across the continent.
