STRATEGIC PLAN

The 2020–2024 Strategic Plan provided ADSW with a robust framework for delivering impact across food security, climate change, health, governance, and institutional growth. Key milestones included: training over 50,000 farmers in sustainable agriculture, reducing child malnutrition by 34%, planting more than 28,000 indigenous trees, establishing caregiver support and male engagement groups to strengthen healthcare, and adopting a three-tier governance model. These laid a strong foundation for future growth, supported by improved financial management, visibility, and resource mobilization.
Yet, the Western Kenya region remains vulnerable to food insecurity, climate shocks, weak health systems, poor governance, and disaster risks. The 2025–2029 Strategic Plan responds to these realities, consolidating past achievements while aligning ADSW’s efforts with the UN SDGs, Africa Agenda 2063, Kenya Vision 2030, the ACK Decade Strategy, and the County Integrated Development Plans (CIDPs 2023–2027).
The Plan focuses on six thematic areas: food and nutrition security; climate change and natural resource management; integrated health and social protection; human rights, governance, and peacebuilding; natural disaster management and crisis response; and institutional strengthening and sustainability. These are supported by cross-cutting commitments to gender equality, youth empowerment, inclusivity, and environmental stewardship.
Implementation will be participatory and multi-stakeholder, leveraging church structures, government, civil society, and private sector partnerships. A Results-Based Management framework will guide monitoring, evaluation, and learning. The total estimated budget is Ksh 1.04 billion, to be mobilized through grants, county partnerships, private sector linkages, local fundraising, and church-based initiatives.
