A SWOT Analysis for ENCDC

By Fesseha Nair

Wake up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Eritrea is reoccupied by Ethiopians!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Back to armed struggle……………………there is no other alternative!

Revitalising ENCDC with those elements respecting and preserving the Eritrean national sovereignty and territorial integrity. Eritrean national sovereignty and territorial integrity is in crisis. We are back on the 40th and 50th situation.

ENCDC- Eritrean National Council/ Convention For Democratic Change .

Built on 2010- 2013 in Ethiopia/ Hawasa and spread all over the world under the theme, ” Unity in Diversity”

Why ENCDC needs “evaluation” of the past 6 years of obstacles and threats internally and externally.

Evaluations are today commonplace in most organizations. They serve a current and immediate purpose as management instruments. In addition they are also seen as a major source of knowledge about whether an organization is doing the right thing in the right place and the right cost. These experiences are believed to be fed into the organization ” memory” and ought to result in fewer mistakes being made in the future. Thus, the organization is expected to learn from its activities, correct them and develop new and better  ways of doing what it is supposed to do.

The coming second congress of ENCDC must discuss on  fields of activities to get a clear roadmap for the future.

1. Work and activity planing

ሰለምንታይ ስትራተጂካዊ ፕላን

Strategic planning is a way of thinking, acting and learning that can enable organizations to better achieve their goals and secure their survival amid the uncertainty/ዘይተረጋገጸን and complexity/ጽንኩርን of their internal and external environment. Eritrean as nation and people are insecure and their survival is amid turbulence surrounded by aggressive forces and their pawns/ collaboraters.

Strategic planning: presents an approach to dealing with serious challenges and making the most opportunities. The strategic planning process allows organizations to develop and determine their long term vision, direction activities and performance.

It usually takes all-inclusive view by looking at the ”big picture” of the what, the why, and the how of the organization, but it also leads to specific targeted actions against the dictatorship in Eritrea.

Strategic planning can thus be defined as, ” a deliberative, disciplined effort to produce fundamental decisions and actions that shape and guide what an organization is, what it does, and why it does it.

ENCDC  is a visionary political umbrella organization based on a thorough rational analysis on the Eritrean political case in general and the unity of the Eritrean opposition forces in particular.

Vision and analysis aim to reinforce each other, making strategic planning a flexible and practical guide for decision making and resource allocation.

The ENCDC has been discussing how to evolve and use campaign strategy and grand strategy to disintegrate all the power sources of the Eritrean dictatorship internally and externally. It has never looking on a single aspect of the organization or on one type activity.

ENCDC plan was to accommodate all forces individually and organizationally,  its mission, goals, structure, revenues and all stakeholders.
