The European Union has provided substantial support for kick stating TaCRI and for the implementation of the Strategic Action Plans (SAPs).
TaCRI Focus: Key for any organisation to succeed, is to have a clear focus against what activities can be planned and progress can be judged.
Defining the organisations focus was TaCRI’s first task when it was launched. Through a collective process, involving all personnel within the new organisation, a clear set of values and objectives was produced against which TaCRI bases its management and operational working practice.
