We discussed how we can make sure that what we achieve over the next five years will get us closer to making our vision of the world a reality.

The first was to explicitly underline ILGA-Europe’s human rights approach as the basis of the organisation’s work. The second was to consider ILGA-Europe as a whole, made up of members, the board and the staff team. The third was to focus on the value-added of European action and to build on ILGA-Europe’s strengths as a regional organisation.

This Strategic Plan was adopted in October 2007 during ILGA-Europe’s annual conference in Vilnius and comes into effect from 1 January 2008.

Inclusion of Equality within the LGBT communities as a focus throughout – encouraging equality for all within the organisation and all its actions. Creating links between strategic objectives – enhancing the synergy of output from combinations of strategies in the attainment of objectives.
