The Rössing Foundation interventions are guided and directed by a five-year Strategic Plan which was compiled and signed off in 2007. The five-year Strategic plan has been developed in direct consultation with stakeholders from the Erongo and Oshana Regional Education Offices as well as communities and all other line Ministries that have accepted and approved the Strategic Plan.

In 2009, a separate independent strategic plan for the Omaheke Region was developed in consultation with the Omaheke Education Directorate, teachers, heads of departments, principals and inspectors. Unlike with the two other regions, the Omaheke strategic plan focuses mainly on building the capacity of existing leadership and management structures. To this end, outside expert services have been recruited to secure project support and success.

The main goal of the strategic plan is that the Rössing Foundation assists its partners in their respective regions to achieve an 80% overall pass rate within the given fiveyear period. To help the schools to achieve this goal, the Rössing Foundation provides support to schools in the following manner:

• School based teacher support in Lower Primary, Mathematics, English and the Sciences where tutors and teachers work together with learners in the Erongo and Oshana regions;
• The Omaheke region receives leadership and management support for staff for the Omaheke Education Directorate Regional Office, School Principals, Heads of Department, Subject Heads, Advisory Services and teachers through a subject expert, linking theory to practice and through the outsourcing of training from the Windhoek College of Education in Mathematics, English, Sciences and Lower Primary;
• A Special focus was provided by Rössing to Grade 10 and Grade 12 groups in Mathematics, Sciences and English through Centre-based support in the Erongo and Oshana regions.
