Project Strategy
GI SEA’s three-year strategic framework, complemented by annually defined priority pillars
Strategic framework
In the first two years (2013-2014) following its launch, the project operated on a biennial implementation cycle; this was revised to a triennium from 2015, to allow greater continuity and ability for the project to conduct longer-term planning. During the 2019 Annual Meeting, the Steering Committee expressed consensus to continue with a 3-year implementation cycle; the last triennium (2021-2023) ended in 2023. The current triennial strategic framework spans 2024 to 2026.
2024 - 2026 Strategy

Operational Capabilities
