The Board of Australian Doctors for Africa adopted a new five year Strategic Plan 2023-28, following a successful planning workshop attended by supporters, volunteers, Board members and staff.

The Plan will guide the organisation’s activities over the next five years and focus on achieving the following outcomes:

  • Overseas Medical Assignments: Vulnerable people (including women and children) have increased access to specialist medical services in Africa due to ADFA volunteer overseas medical assignments.
  • Training and Teaching: Greater number of well-trained medical personnel and specialists (especially women) in Africa providing improved medical treatment to vulnerable communities.
  • Infrastructure Development and Equipment: Greater access to better equipped and safe health facilities for more vulnerable people in Africa.
  • Advanced Development: Local health systems, programs and partners delivering strong health outcomes to their communities.
  • ADFA Organisational Development: ADFA is a more accountable and efficient organisation with strong leadership, robust systems and programs.
