With support from Vibrant Village Foundation (VVF), Medico International and Integrated Social Development Centre (ISODEC) Ghana, Network Movement for Justice and Development (NMJD) on Monday, 26th October 2026, held a workshop at the Vanilla Complex Hall on Thomas Avenue, Aberdeen in Freetown and validated its Third Generation Strategic Plan for 2026-2030 on the theme: “strengthening justice, accountability, and citizen empowerment for inclusive development in Sierra Leone” NMJD has over the years undertaken series of strategic reviews and development of new strategic plans following the development and implementation of its transition strategic plan for 2001-2002.
The transition Strategic Plan was reviewed and a new Strategic Plan, which aimed at building the capacities of staff, partners and local communities to effectively implement the strategic plan and consolidate its own transition to a long-term sustainable development organization. This has been the practice ever since.
On its 25th Anniversary in 2015, NMJD convened a meeting of its partners, including local authorities, donors, MDAs and beneficiary communities and reflected on the organization’s work and achievements in the past 25 years and developed a broader Strategic Direction that encapsulates all what the organization’s engagements should be in the next 25 years. The 25 Years Strategic Direction explains clearly WHY this Strategy Matters; WHAT NMJD Wants to See in Sierra Leone in next 25 years (2015-2040) and WHAT NMJD Stands to Contribute. This Strategic Direction is to be rolled out in five phases of five years per phase.
The first phase (First Generation) Strategic Plan was implemented in 2016-2020, followed by the second phase (Second Generation) in 2021-2026.
This Third-Generation Strategic Plan 2026-2030 builds on NMJD’s long-standing institutional experience and it is anchored in the organization’s Twenty-Five-Year Strategic Direction (2016–2041), with the “Towards Building Social Movements for the Transformation of Society.” It therefore reflects both continuity with NMJD’s historical mandate and a forward-looking response to emerging governance, social, environmental, institutional, and development challenges in Sierra Leone.
The validation workshop was attended by broad-based representatives of partners here in Sierra Leone and abroad.
