This review of Plan's programmes (2003 to 2006) has been produced by Dr Julia Betts, an independent consultant. It aims to provide a comprehensive overview of Plan’s work and to locate that work within the current framework of international development. In addition it identifies areas of good practice and reports on Plan’s effectiveness and the challenges ahead.
The review marks a watershed, as never before have we taken stock of our work in such a comprehensive way – looking in detail at our methodology and programmes worldwide, and asking whether we deliver maximum impact and effectiveness for all our stakeholders. Using expert analysis and country examples, within the framework of international tools and conventions, it objectively highlights our organisational strengths and weaknesses, identifies lessons learned and good practices to date, pinpoints challenges for the future, highlights areas where work could be improved or scaled up, and shows us where greater shared learning of good practice would benefit our global activities.
