‘We want to reach far and be near. We want to see change in systems and change in the lives of individuals. Woord en Daad is not shy to share our big ambitions or to make you part of our big dreams. Neither are we shy to share on how we think we can improve.’ With these words our journey towards a strategy for 2021-2025 started at our policy conference in November 2019. Together with the critical questions and analyses of experts, the years of experience of our dedicated worldwide partners and the sharp eye of our employees we explored and made plans, and now proudly present our policy plan for 2021-2025. But the journey doesn’t end here. Our sailing trip has just begun. Please journey along with us, while we navigate towards impact using a biblical compass.
