Norad's strategy towards 2030

In Norad's new strategy, the sustainability goals are the framework for the work Norad does. The goals require a joint effort from authorities, civil society, the private sector and academia - in Norway and in all countries.

The strategy in a nutshell

In short, Norad's strategy towards 2030 is that:

• The sustainability goals are the framework for Norad's work. We will contribute to achieving the goals!
• Our primary task is to put money to work together with partners.
• The work must be based on knowledge and insight - facts must have the power.

Five development areas

The work on the strategy has identified five areas where Norad needs to change as an organization in order to successfully achieve its goals. The five areas are:

1. Putting money to work in a more strategic way
2. A central partner in sustainable development
3. Contribute to a greener world
4. Be innovative in the development of aid
5. Strengthen and systematize the development, sharing and use of knowledge in Norad

For the best possible goal achievement, Norad has prioritized several initiatives for the various areas in the first 18 months of the strategy period. The five development areas must be reviewed and revised regularly during the strategy period towards 2030.
