1. Background
Organizational Development (OD) is the strategic, transformational process that supports and enables a WWF Myanmar office to clarify and achieve its organizational goals, and link them closely to the delivery of the conservation strategy. OD Contribution to Conservation Strategies: OD program indirectly supports the conservation strategy and its strategic plans by developing organizational capacity for WWF Myanmar office to deliver on their conservation targets. OD is not seen as an add-on process to the existing conservation strategies, but rather as an integral part of it.
The vision of the OD program is to ensure conservation impact by building strong, healthy, effective and resilient office through the OD approach. WWF Myanmar OD program has ten focused areas of work and OD4CSO is a new initiative in the program. The purpose of supporting partner organizations with organizational development support is to assist them in strengthening their organization to achieve conservation goals in Myanmar collectively.
