pCPA Strategic Plan 2022 - 2024

Ten years after its creation, the pCPA has evolved from a start-up to a more formal organization, facing new challenges and a changing pharmaceutical environment. In 2019 an organizational review was conducted to assess the pCPA’s current and prospective future roles.

The findings of this review have informed our strategic revitalization, which includes the creation of our first strategic plan, a key milestone in the evolution of the pCPA. This plan outlines our vision, mandate, strategic priorities, and guiding principles that will set the direction for the pCPA over the next three years.
