Strategy
Our five strategic pillars
Objectives, areas of intervention, planned approaches, expected outcomes and stakes: GNRC-SA’s framework for action.
GNRC-SA organises its work around five fundamental pillars, designed as an integrated framework: each contributes to turning resources and capital into concrete sustainable development projects.
The information below describes GNRC-SA’s strategic orientations, planned approaches and targeted outcomes. It does not describe completed achievements.
