JEDI Strategic Plan
Since 1994, JEDI has undertaken two other strategic planning exercises, which employed various forms of gathering input from stakeholders in the processes. This current process has lead through the direct of a stakeholder advisory committee. The current strategic planning process was committed to ensuring broad representation of stakeholders were present and that those representatives contributed significantly. The process was reflective, engaging and transparent.
JEDI’s strategic plan implementation will track our success in meeting our strategic goals and will provide a means to maintain the plan to be current and relevant.
The strategic plan will be realized through an implementation plan and will be reflected in JEDI staff work plans.
The strategic direction of the JEDI Action Plan follows:
· Partnership Development

The JEDI Strategic Plan 2010-2013 has been accepted by the JEDI Plenary group, JEDI Management and the individual work plans of the JEDI sub-committees.
