THEO.RO

Thinking Ahead: Organizational & Strategic Roadmap 2023-2026

MdM-Greece Theo.Ro project is programmatically identical to the strategic plan of the organisation for the coming years. The project builds upon a culture of institutional memory, thus contributing to the reintegration of older members and the mobilisation of new members of the organisation. In addition, it promotes the upgrading of the organisation’s tools and internal procedures, thus enhancing transparency and accountability.

MdM Greece’s operational strategy is based on high quality interventions at the community level, innovation and investment in people. The Strategic Plan organises and categorises future actions and objectives, thus contributing to the organisation’s self-awareness and its potential restructuring in order to maintain its role in a rapidly changing civil society ecosystem where resources are shrinking.

The project THEO.RO:

• helps the organisation to organise and capitalise on its experience and enhance the quality of its services, thereby increasing its coverage in the face of the growing needs of the populations it serves.
• It strengthens research and innovation by prompting for investment in the knowledge of staff and by seeking new partnerships with the ultimate aim of necessary renewal.

The Theo.Ro project is supported by the Active citizens fund programme, which focuses on empowering and strengthening the civil society in Greece. This is an innovative grant that differs significantly from the previous six Active citizens fund programmes, as it provides grants to support general actions of organisations, based on their multiannual strategic plan, rather than actions in the context of thematic projects. This call is part of a pilot initiative of the European Economic Area (EEA) financial mechanism, which responds to the request of civil society organisations for grants for their basic operational needs to help them fulfil their strategic objectives and mission.

The name of the project THEO.RO. (Thinking Ahead: Organizational & Strategic Roadmap 2023-2026) derives from the initials of Theophilos Rosenberg’s name, paying tribute to the founder of Doctors of the World Greece, who passed away on February 19, 2021.

The project THE.RO is being implemented under the Active citizens fund in Greece by Médecins Du Monde Greece. The Active citizens fund in Greece is supported through a € 15M grant from Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway as part of the EEA Grants 2014 – 2021. The programme aims to develop the sustainability and capacity of the civil society sector in Greece, and to strengthen its role in promoting and safeguarding democratic procedures, active citizenship and human rights. The Fund Operator for the Active citizens fund in Greece is Bodossaki Foundation in consortium with SolidarityNow. More information: www.activecitizensfund.gr/en/
