Since 1980 ORAP has been single-focused in its quest to fight all forms of poverty. ORAP’s approach has been to address poverty by reconnecting people and rebuilding the social fabric of communities. ORAP sees grassroots communities as leaders for development and agents for behavior change through dialogues. It emphasizes developing relationships with external agencies as funding sources, learning, idea-sharing, and partnerships. ORAP respects the wisdom and inputs of communities and their indigenous knowledge systems in leading development initiatives in planning and implementing community-initiated projects. From 2017 and 2022, ORAP Strategy focused on 3 pillars: Nutrition, Enterprise, and Wellness, with youth, gender, and environmental action integrated as cross-cutting. The strategy was implemented at a time when ORAP was in the process revitalizing its grassroots base. The period was also characterized by the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, which brought community development activities to a standstill. ORAP, however, managed to pull through, although the achievement of some strategic objectives was below expectations. The organization has reduced the strategic period to three years in response to the unpredictable state of the economic, political and social environment around the region and the world. This strategic plan involved communities, ORAP members, and stakeholders, including the Governing Board and ORAP staff and management. The areas of focus for the strategic period 2023-2025 are Community mobilization, Organisational Development, Food and Nutrition Security, Enterprise Development, and Workplace and Community Wellness.
