No organisation is immune to mission drift. Consider the mission of your organisation and the programs you are currently running. Which of your programs are most closely aligned with your mission?
Foster Care, Family Strengthening and Temporary Safe Care Parents
Are there any programs that lack alignment with the broader mission of the organisation? What are the indications of this?
VEP, Child Rights Advocacy, Protective Behaviours.
These programmes significantly affect family but rather target individuals
Reflect on the current reality within your organisation. What challenges and decisions are you facing that might pull you off mission right now?
Closure of our Child Care Facility, this is an essential task but is being viewed as a cost cutting exercise rather than an essential part of the organisations mission. Increased financial pressure is also causing the organisation to consider ever wider circles of work just to keep funding coming in
What specific actions can you take to avoid mission drift in your current situation and remain mission true?
Review any potential applications against the stated Vision and Mission of the organisation
