DAL for Community Sustainability supported the Istidama Association—the first organization dedicated to Social Responsibility—in developing its foundational strategic plan. This support was provided to Istidama as an emerging entity focused on aligning institutional operations with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
This collaboration serves as an extension of DAL’s role in empowering community organizations and building their institutional capacities. The team contributed to formulating an integrated strategic roadmap for the coming five years, encompassing the vision, strategic priorities, and impact pathways.
The DAL team engaged in a series of strategic dialogues with the Association’s leadership, which included a meeting with Her Excellency the Minister of Social Affairs, Family and Childhood Affairs. The meeting addressed promising prospects for collaboration and the Association’s role in promoting a culture of sustainability. Discussions also covered mechanisms for preparing sustainability reports for Ministry-affiliated entities to support transparency, governance, and national compliance.
This project exemplifies DAL’s commitment to supporting emerging entities and community institutions, equipping them to become effective contributors within the sustainable development ecosystem.
