2025–2028 Strategic Plan
It’s time! We’ve started the important process of developing a new strategic plan that will guide Canada’s Drug Agency into the next 3 years.
This is an important opportunity for us to build on our existing strengths in evidence and health technology work while reflecting on our growing role in pharmaceutical ecosystems. We will also continue to emphasize inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility and Indigenous reconciliation while enhancing our collaboration with all partners, including patients, clinicians, researchers, and the life sciences sector.
Engagement Principles
Our strategic plan development process will be driven by active and ongoing engagement to ensure that the plan reflects input from organizations and individuals who will help us advance the strategy.
The strategic pillars and guiding principles outlined in our last strategic plan will continue to guide what we do as an organization

Guiding Principles
Impact
We will maximize the impact of our work, supporting, through evidence, the appropriate use of drugs and other health technologies in delivering value and sustainability for health systems.
Agility
We will be curious and alert, anticipating changes in the health system and moving quickly to refine our methods, processes, and services so our work remains relevant, trusted, and reflective of high standards of excellence.
Partnership
We will cultivate meaningful relationships with patient communities (including individual patients, their families and caregivers, and those who represent patients); clinicians; industry; other health organizations; and federal, provincial, and territorial governments; informing, engaging, and respecting our partners to together improve and strengthen the quality and significance of our work
Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
We will apply a lens of equity and inclusiveness, fostering health systems that reflect the diverse people of Canada and respond to the self-identified priorities and cultural practices of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples
Transparency
We will act with integrity, modelling transparency in how we conduct our work, in our decision-making processes, and in sharing the outcome of our efforts.
