LAMECON 5-Year Strategic Plan
2026-2030
Over the next five years, LAMECON will grow its work with adolescents, young people, women, and marginalized persons through practical programs in health, education, advocacy, digital engagement, environmental action, research, and sustainability.
The direction
What the plan is really about
The strategy moves LAMECON from strong community programming into a more structured, evidence-led, and sustainable organization.
The focus is simple: scale tested models, deepen community ownership, influence policies with real data, and build the systems and funding base needed for long-term impact.
