FCS Strategic Plan 2025 – 2030
The Strategic Plan 2025-2030 will guide FCS’s work for the next five years.
Changes in the operating context have necessitated a mid-point reorientation of our latest strategy.
Shifts in the funding landscape mean that FCS can no longer function primarily as a re-grant mechanism supported by a few highly interested bilateral partners. The current national, regional, and global development discourses also require us to adapt strategically to remain relevant, competitive, and resilient. This revised strategy extends from 2024 to 2030, marking a shift from the traditional five-year plans to a more long-term orientation. This change accommodates the need for a long-term vision, especially considering key democratic processes in Tanzania in 2029 and 2030 and aligns with the conclusion of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2025, 2029 & 2030.
Recognizing the dynamic nature of the development landscape, this strategy is designed as a living
document. Direction and progress will be assessed periodically, with amendments made as necessary to respond to emerging trends, challenges, and opportunities. At least one significant iteration is planned around the midpoint of the strategy in order to ensure that our approach remains relevant and aligned with the evolving context.
FCS has managed over $76m in grants from an intuitional budget of approximately $130 million
The Strategic Plan is built on key findings from a comprehensive consultative process, incorporating lessons and recommendations from evaluations, insights, and assessments gathered over 20 years of operations in Tanzania. It reflects our support of over 6,000 civil society organizations, collectively reaching 31 million people.
