Organizational Development Activity ANNUAL WORK PLAN

The activity aims to accelerate a Mission shift toward an optimal Organizational Health (OH), which is defined as "USAID/Uganda's ability to align around a clear vision, strategy, and culture; to execute with excellence; and to renew the Mission's focus over time." The ODA Theory of Change outlines the development hypothesis and rationale for achieving OH. The theory posits that by strengthening USAID/Uganda's internal relationships, systems, capacities, practices, and culture, the Mission will be better equipped to execute its development objectives and contribute to the advancement of the Ugandan people. The theory also identifies five domains of Organizational Health, including leadership and management, organizational culture, human resources, organizational learning, and external relationships. The ODA Scope of Work (SOW) Objectives outline the specific activities and outcomes that will be achieved during the first year of the activity. The objectives include improving USAID/Uganda's organizational health, enhancing the Mission's capacity for collaboration, learning, and adaptation, and aligning the Mission's activities with the Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS). The Year-1 Work Plan outlines the specific activities and tasks that will be undertaken to achieve the SOW Objectives. The plan includes 13 objectives, each with multiple activities and tasks. Objective 1 focuses on improving USAID/Uganda's organizational health, while Objective 2 focuses on enhancing the Mission's capacity for collaboration, learning, and adaptation.
