The Strategic Plan presents the medium-term objectives of the Authority in the form of operational plans and links them to the Activity-Based Budget (ABB).

The strategic planning process involves the identification of the mission, vision, values, and strategic objectives of the organisation, through an analysis of the external and internal environment.

The strategic objectives of the HRDA for the three-year period 2025-2027, in order to fulfil its role and achieve its mission, are as follows:

• Upgrading the country's human resources through continuous and lifelong learning for the employed, unemployed, and inactive, with a focus on young people, older individuals, those with low skills, and the long-term unemployed.

• Improving productivity, enhancing competitiveness, and developing the resilience of Cypriot businesses through the improvement of their adaptability and better utilization of their human resources.

• Strengthening the quality assurance and effectiveness of the training and human resources development system through the assessment and accreditation of the provided training, the strengthening of monitoring systems and procedures, as well as the knowledge, skills, and professional qualifications of the local workforce.

The HRDA's objectives are derived from the elaboration of the above strategic goals and include key performance indicators to achieve measurable results within a three-year period.

The ABB outlines the resources of the Authority to be allocated to each objective and activity, in line with the policy priorities analyzed in the Strategic Plan. This promotes transparency and accountability in the use of the Authority's resources. Additionally, regular monitoring and evaluation of expenditures help to ensure that the Authority is using its available resources in an appropriate, efficient, and effective manner in relation to the objectives pursued, based on the principles of sustainability, prudence, stability, and consistency.
