Strategic renewal

As the global landscape changes, so must MOPAN. Since the conclusion of the external evaluation of the MOPAN Network 2015-21, the Network has been reflecting on its role helping rebuild trust in the multilateral system. MOPAN members have agreed to develop a vision and strategy to set out how the Network will further strengthen the performance of the multilateral system , better meet members’ and stakeholders’ needs for performance, and drive learning and behaviour change. MOPAN’s new vision is expected to be endorsed by members in May 2023.

Following the agreement of the vision, MOPAN members will work together to develop a medium-term strategy for the Network to take effect in January 2025.

Finally, the Network will update its methodological framework for assessments with the resulting MOPAN 4.0 and use it for assessments from 2025 onwards.

Strategy Group

MOPAN created a strategy group of senior stakeholders (including senior officials from among MOPAN members, representatives of multilateral organisations and external experts) to provide guidance and recommendations to inform the development of the vision and strategy in 2023. The group first met in December 2022 in the margins of MOPAN’s 20th anniversary high level event.
