Strategy
We define strategy as purposeful process of translation of thoughts into action and of navigation. With this understanding we have tried translating organizational ideas into structured thoughts to plan effective implementation of activities to achieve the aims of the organization. HERD has set the following strategies:
- Work to gain a comprehensive understanding of issues related to health and social sectors and explore possible interventions through scientific research and social development work
- Review and analyze the effectiveness of current policies and programmes and their implications upon health service and social development at all levels

- Ensure wider dissemination of experiences, best practices and lessons learned among relevant agencies/individuals including community through effective means of communication such as workshops, seminars, conferences and through publication.
