Wassan Team working on "VISION" along with Board of Trustees (2003)

"Vision" reflects.......

WASSAN vision reflects collective thinking and concerted effort towards the intended objectives. The statement evolved from a rigorous process of deliberations and intense reflections in a visioning workshop held from 17th to 19th December, 2003. This was facilitated by Mr. Gagan Sethi and Ms. Anuradha Prasad of Human and Institutional Development Forum, Bangalore. Entire staff along with the Trustees participated in the workshop. WASSAN team later worked on these vision statements and presented them in the Annual Network Meeting 2004 for ratification. Based on the suggestions during the ANM 2004, the Vision statements were finalized which were then approved by the Board of Trustees.

Visioning Process...

Operationally WASSAN’s work is organised into five areas. Each area is strategically structured to contribute to others. Together, efforts in these areas add to the capacities of the institutional system. In the visioning process, each work area was seen as a Field of Action (FOA). A vision statement for each Field of Action was worked out by taking into consideration all the operational and strategic aspects. The objective is to move forward with more clarity and focus in each of our working domains. The vision of each Field of Action contributed to overall vision of the organization and core values were defined.
