In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, in addition to climate change impacts, geopolitical tensions, and many other pressing issues affecting Asia and the Pacific, the development of a plan seeking to chart out a new era of renewed impact for the Center became a top priority.
Led by EWC President Suzanne Vares-Lum, a wide range of stakeholders—including EWC boards, staff, participants, partners, and alumni—collaborated to create this strategic framework. Planning activities included assessing regional needs; selecting priority areas where the Center can make a difference; focusing on EWC’s distinctive strengths and competencies; and establishing key institutional goals and strategies.
The results of these activities are captured in this document, which focuses on five pillars over five years (2023-2027):
- Developing and Equipping Leaders
- Convening Impactful Dialogues
- Partnering with the Pacific Islands
- Fostering Environmental Solutions
- Supporting Good Governance
Under this framework, EWC’s programs will be prioritized, aligned, and implemented in line with these strategies to achieve the Center’s mission and vision.
