Strategic Plans
The ISC's work is guided by its three-year Strategic Plans.
The Strategic Plans serve to operationalize the ISC’s vision, mission and strategic objectives.
The Plans provide the Council’s Members, funders and stakeholders with regular outlooks on ISC priorities and activity planning, monitoring and reporting.
