DIESIS NETWORK STRATEGY
The Diesis Manifesto was created collectively with our members in 2020. This bottom-up approach ensured that the network’s future direction is determined by its community and that it delivers support that is specifically tailored to the community’s needs. It resulted in setting strategic goals for our network. The Diesis Manifesto serves as “white paper” for the Diesis Network’s future activities and strategic direction.
At its core lies our Knowledge and Visibility Strategy, meticulously designed to amplify the reach and impact of our network. Through strategic initiatives and meaningful partnerships, we endeavour to expand our knowledge base, nurture fruitful collaborations, and elevate our visibility and lasting impact worldwide.

GENDER EQUALITY PLAN
Gender Equality Plan of Diesis was adopted in February 2022 by the Executive Committee. The Plan reflects the diversity within our organization, and of the communities we serve in line with the requirements set out by the European Commission.
The plan will help us, over the next 3 years, to navigate and accelerate the gender equality journey that Diesis must take in order to improve its performance. It is intended to be a living document that will be updated regularly to accommodate new actions and developments.
