This strategic pillar focuses on strengthening PELUM Eswatini’s partnerships and methods of working. The underlying assumptions for this pillar are that PELUM Eswatini will form inter and intra-partnerships that will be very strategic, and the partnerships shall follow a framework that is functional and which will result in better working relationships. When effectively managed, it is assumed that this will increase unified support to farming communities.

This pillar will also entail having enhanced engagements with relevant and diverse stakeholders for much strong and more effective collaboration and networking.

Proper implementation of this strategic pillar by PELUM Eswatini in the next five years is envisaged to leave the Association with a much wider and very strong network that will not only help in strengthening the Organisation but also ensure that PELUM Eswatini will positively impact thousands of community-based small scale farmers for many years even beyond the scope of this strategic plan.

This strategic pillar focuses on ensuring organizational growth and effectiveness by addressing the way organizations function strengthening PELUM Eswatini’s financial capacity. It is assumed that if PELUM Eswatini sets up an institutionalized financing strategy, and is able to acquire stronger competencies in financing and financial management, then this will result in increased and sustained funding for its work from diversified sources. It is further anticipated that this will in turn benefit the member organizations who are also struggling financially to sustain the work they are doing.

This pillar will bring a positive change in this aspect by developing and strengthening PELUM Eswatini’s resource mobilization capacity, setting up a financial sustainability plan, and initiating, engaging, and sustaining strategic funding partnerships from within the country and beyond borders.

Proper implementation of this pillar in the next five years will also enable PELUM Eswatini and its membership to sustain and sustain sustainability funds that will keep the organization going in dry financial seasons.

This will not only focus on PELUM Eswatini alone but the whole membership of the organization. The underlying assumption for this pillar is that stronger governance of Institutions is essential for effective organizational growth and performance.

PELUM Eswatini will possibly achieve this by emphasizing strong competencies among the member Organizations, Country Board of Directors, Management team, and Staff, which will in turn translate into fully functional structures, systems, and equipment, thus triggering stronger growth in membership, and a clearer understanding of PELUM Eswatini and what it stands for.

Through this strategic pillar, PELUM Eswatini stands to positively impact its member Organizations by helping them to have well-trained and effective Boards, Management, and Staff.

This strategic pillar focuses on strengthening the entrepreneurship and Marketing skills of PELUM Eswatini and its Member Organizations. The underlying hypothesis of this pillar is that if the Entrepreneurship and Marketing skills services of PELUM Eswatini to its members are effective, the members will be empowered to better deliver economic growth amongst the farming communities in the country.

It is anticipated that the empowered member organizations with entrepreneurial and marketing skills will be able to build a strong and viable economic activity among the small-scale farmers at the community level, hence increasing the sustainability of the agro-ecological farming systems in the country
