I. ForewordThis strategic plan, which is developed in line with the principles of Balanced ScoreCard, is believed to enhance the activities of the Institute through addressing majorpublic health priority areas with sustained clear focus, momentum and coordination toexcel in the Institute’s core activities with measureable performance and set targets.The preparation of this strategic plan has consulted the HSDP and other national andinternational relevant documents. Views of the concerned EHNRI’s staff members andopinions of stakeholders and partners have been also incorporated in the identificationof most critical issues for the entire five-year plan of the Institute.In order to fulfill the mission and vision of the Institute, this strategic plan is mainlygeared towards the improvements of problem solving research, public healthemergency management, national public health laboratory network, and managementand leadership. It is also envisaged to work closely and foster partnerships andcollaborations with all concerned stake holders of the health sector.I believe that the initiation of such a new and comprehensive strategic plan anddirection, essentially a dynamic process, would give all our partners as well as staffmembers of the Institute the opportunity to get hold of reference points as well as feelthe sense of commitment to realize shared vision.Finally, I take the pleasure to express my gratitude to the Institute’s Strategic PlanDevelopment Team for their unreserved effort in the preparation of the document.Tsehaynesh Messele Ph DDirector General,EHNRI6
