Introduction
Against an ever-changing policing landscape, a strategic and business planning process is fundamental to ensuring that INTERPOL continues to support global law enforcement and achieves the Organization’s vision of “connecting police for a safer world”. INTERPOL’s Strategic Framework sets out the Organization’s strategic direction for a given period of time (four years) and provides a framework for reporting progress and success. It provides a focused and effective direction for INTERPOL programmes and activities.
Member countries were involved in the development of the new Strategic Framework to identify important strategic areas, possible risks, and lessons learned from the preceding Strategic Framework 2017-2020 as well as from other previous Strategic Frameworks. The development of the Strategic Framework 2022-2025 also included environmental scanning, consideration of various threat assessments, and foresight efforts. As a result, the Strategic Framework 2022-2025 is more focused, adaptable and inspiring, as it highlights the Organization’s growth.
The four Strategic Goals were built on the lessons learned from the previous Strategic Frameworks, and they reflect INTERPOL’s values, vision, and mission. The Strategic Framework 2022-2025 was endorsed by the Executive Committee at its session in July 2020 and approved by the General Assembly at its 89th session in November 2021. It is cross-organizational, and focuses on INTERPOL’s capabilities and service delivery to its 196 member countries.
The Strategic Framework 2022-2025 is composed of four Strategic Goals and 17 corresponding Strategic Objectives highlighting where the Organization intends to be in 2025.
