Asia Pacific Forum of National Human Rights Institutions Strategic Plan 2022-27
Outcome 4:
The APF is a well-functioning and governed network
with an engaged membership
This outcome is about ensuring the APF has an active and engaged membership; and is wellresourced and supported. Ultimately, this is about ensuring the sustainability and longevity of the
APF and its ability to continue supporting NHRIs into the future. The delivery of this outcome will
focus on four key areas: member engagement in decision making; effective management systems,
resources, and technology; impact measurement; and funding diversification.
Outcome 4.1:
Organisational decisions are guided by principles of good governance
This sub-outcome is about ensuring our members are engaged in APF decision-making and
contribute towards the strategic direction of the network. For the APF, this is about working with
members to grow the organisation and enabling members to engage their own resources and
networks to support our activities in the region.
Outcome 4.2:
Our team is supported by effective management systems, resources and
technology
This sub-outcome is about ensuring the APF has robust policies, systems, processes and models
in place to support our team to function effectively. This is about enhancing our various internal
systems and processes and to be adequately resourced to deliver on our strategic direction. Key
focuses within this priority include internal systems such as management, technology, planning,
budgeting and human resources.
Outcome 4.3:
Our impact is accurately measured and communicated
This sub-outcome is about improving accountability, transparency and impact measurement across
the organisation and within NHRIs. We will effectively measure and communicate the impact of
our work with NHRIs and how this contributes toward our strategic outcomes. By reflecting on our
impact, we will adjust and refine our approach so that we continue to increase our impact.
Outcome 4.4:
We have sustainable sources of funding
This sub-outcome is about ensuring our financial sustainability by diversifying sources of funding.
This will entail exploring and seeking to acquire a variety of donors that, over time, can lead to new
restricted (project) funding and eventually unrestricted funding. Stewardship and renewals of existing
donors remain key for the APF. Ultimately, we will seek to balance restricted and unrestricted
funding to enable us to deliver on our outcomes and roles.
