Global Strategic Plan
The Orbis 2022-2026 Strategy advances our core programming, coupled with new strategic initiatives and operational enhancements to amplify our desired impact: to increase equitable access to eye health services and improve the quality of life of the communities we work with.
Our passion and energy towards preventing and treating avoidable blindness is steadfast, but we will refine our approaches in response to the opportunities we choose to take, and the needs and priorities of our partners and the communities we work with. We will also adapt and refine our strategy as the environment changes because agile and responsive programming will be crucial to our success.
