FEBEA’s current strategic process – Kairos – will end in 2025. Therefore, FEBEA needs to start the process to define new strategic priorities for the period 2026 – 2029. Given FEBEA’s nature – a participatory association, based on membership – such priorities should reflect its members’ needs and expectations. Moreover, the new strategic plan should reflect the internal changes in the organisation (i.e. growth in membership and capacity), and the changes in the external context in which it operates. FEBEA is looking for a consultant to support the Federation in the collection of inputs from members, external partners and strategic actors and, based on those inputs, in the identification of the priorities for its new Strategic Plan.
