Initiative Sankofa d’Afrique de l’Ouest (ISDAO) is an activist-led fund dedicated to building a West African movement for sexual diversity and sexual rights through a flexible approach to grant-making and the strengthening of a philanthropic culture committed to promoting human rights and social justice.
Our Working Principles – The principles and values that guide ISDAO work are Activist-led, Feminism, Transparency, Accountability, Empowerment, Inclusion, Diversity and Intersectionality, Self-Determination, Flexibility, Equity, and Sustainability.
Context of the mission
ISDAO has successfully established itself and reached a stable phase in its growth. We are now entering a transformational period, fuelled by both internal insights and external shifts and challenges. To navigate this next phase, it is essential to align our focus, resources, and operations with a strategic vision that will drive ISDAO’s growth, impact, reach, and operational efficiency.
The primary objective of this process is to develop and execute a comprehensive organizational strategic plan that will guide our work over the next five years. This plan must clearly articulate the strategic goals and key activities of ISDAO’s various stakeholder groups, including the Board, staff, and external partners (such as grantees and supporters), ensuring that each group is aligned with ISDAO’s overarching objectives.
The strategic planning process will be led by an experienced Consultant or a consulting team, with support from ISDAO’s Executive Director and Governance Board. In light of this, we invite African Consultants who meet the criteria outlined in these Terms of Reference and who possess a genuine commitment to supporting the Human Rights movement to apply for the role of Strategic Plan Consultant.
