Pobal works on behalf of Government to support communities and local agencies toward achieving social inclusion outcomes. Pobal does this by managing funding and providing supports for relevant Government funded Programmes.

The Strategic Plan 2018 – 2021 includes four strategic goals for the organisation and from these priorities are set for each year. 2021 was the final year in the current Strategic Plan lifecycle and as such the annual review of Pobal’s progress towards the strategic goals was coupled with a lessons learned process, conducted to inform the development of a Strategic Plan. 

• Goal 1. To provide high quality financial and operational management of grants
• Goal 2. To support local and national community organisations in their delivery of Government funded services
• Goal 3. To support Government in its decision making and the setting of Programme priorities.
• Goal 4. To develop our company as a high quality, accountable and skilled vehicle for meeting Government and community needs
