CEO Message

Comprehensive Health and Education Forum International (CHEF International)

has now been working in the field of Comprehensive health and Education andcross disability for the last four years. Through these four years it has grown both in

programmes and size. This has been possible due to hard and dedicated team workand tremendous support of our partners.

With this document we would like to launch the Vision of CHEF International for the

next five years (2011-2015). This Vision has been possible due to a major consultativeand feedback exercise from the clients that we serve and all other stake holders who

have been intensively involved in our work over the last years. The CHEF International team made tremendouscontributions to this Vision; with an endorsement from the board of Governors it now stands ready for

implementation.

I believe that the CHEF International Vision 2015 addresses the current needs of the country especially in fieldof health, education and cross disability and beyond and looks towards fulfilling the National and international

Goals that it has set out to achieve in a very effective and efficient manner.

We would very much like to solicit your support in the years to come so that we can utilize the Vision to theadvantage of the target group we serve.

n Education

n Healthn Project management and disaster preparedness

n Inclusive development

n Advocacy

n Resource management and mobilization

n Research & development

n Organizational development

n Sustainability and Quality assurance

n Monitoring & Evaluation

The first five thematic areas further define the work we do in our communities to improve the lives of the vulnerable

especially persons with disabilities. These areas build on the strength and competencies within the organization and

at the same time focus our efforts for future growth. Within each thematic area national programs provide standard

services that address common community needs in our focus areas.

For each thematic area strategic objectives have been defined to express the specific difference we will make as a

result of mobilizing resources to improve the lives of the vulnerable. All initiatives, whether local or national, should

address unmet needs and contribute directly to strategic goals.

Programs and services to clients/beneficiaries will be complemented by advocacy initiatives, where this may reduce

barriers and or improve conditions for vulnerable populations.

No one thematic area is more important than the other. Together they define the intended scope of activity for CHEF

International. The goals set out in the plan will serve to guide and focus our efforts.
