At the end of April 2018, FRA published its five-year Strategic Plan for the period 2018-2022. The plan identifies five priority areas that will guide the Agency’s work each year during this period.

The first priority set out by the Agency is to identify trends and collect and analyse comparable data. As part of this priority, FRA will strive to:

• Contribute to better law making and implementation: provide independent advice;
• Support rights-compliant policy responses: provide real-time assistance and expertise;
• Effectively promote rights, values, and freedoms;
• Strengthen cooperation with national and local fundamental rights actors; work with communities for support.

The plan outlines further objectives under each priority and focus areas on how to achieve these objectives.
