Strategic Planning Framework

After a strategic planning session held in August 2023, a strategic planning framework outlining the AFA’s long-term goals and overall direction was created. This document guides the operational plan by setting priorities and objectives. The operational plan then breaks down these goals into specific tasks and actions to achieve the strategic vision.
