Institutional Schedules


Supporting the STRLDi Institutional Accountability Framework


Institutional Schedule A

The STRLDi Principle

STRLDi exists to build an enduring learning institute rather than simply to deliver professional services. Every appointment within the Institute therefore carries responsibilities that extend beyond the completion of assigned tasks. Individuals are expected to strengthen the Institute itself while simultaneously contributing to the organisations and communities it serves.

No one is employed simply to perform tasks. Every member contributes directly or indirectly to one or more of the six institutional responsibilities that together sustain STRLDi over generations.

Institutional ResponsibilityInstitutional Purpose
Generating New KnowledgeExpand the Institute’s body of research, methodologies, publications and intellectual property.
Building Institutional CapabilityStrengthen systems, processes, programmes and future organisational capacity.
Developing LeadersPrepare practitioners, faculty and future Institute leaders capable of advancing the mission.
Creating Strategic PartnershipsBuild relationships that extend the Institute’s influence and create opportunities for service.
Strengthening Organisational LearningImprove learning within client organisations and within STRLDi itself.
Generating Sustainable RevenueSecure the financial resources necessary to sustain research, faculty development and institutional growth.

Every member therefore contributes to the long-term sustainability of STRLDi. Some contributions are direct through research, consulting or programme delivery, while others strengthen the systems that enable those activities to occur. Every role therefore possesses institutional significance irrespective of its operational function.

Current Institutional Capacity

STRLDi is presently in its Foundation Stage of institutional development.

Institutional Schedule C

Capability Pathway

Institute Leadership is never separated from scholarship. Every Institute Leader remains an active researcher, teacher and practitioner throughout their period of stewardship.


Institutional Schedule D

These proportions will evolve as faculty capacity expands and institutional systems mature.

Institutional Schedule G

Institutional Financial Allocation

Every P100 earned by STRLDi is first allocated to strengthen the Institute before professional remuneration is determined. This model protects long-term institutional capability while ensuring that every engagement contributes to future growth.

Executive Stewardship10%
Research & Intellectual Property15%
Programme Development10%
Administration & Corporate Services10%
Marketing & Strategic Partnerships8%

Institutional Schedule H

Institutional Growth Scenarios

The financial architecture of STRLDi evolves as institutional capability expands. Revenue growth should progressively reduce dependence upon individual effort while increasing investment in research, faculty development and institutional knowledge.

ScenarioFoundation InstituteNational InstituteRegional Institute
Annual RevenueBWP 200,000BWP 10,000,000BWP 20,000,000

Teaching Assistants246
Programme Office135
Research CapabilityFounder-ledDedicated Research TeamResearch Division
Strategic Partnerships2–4 AssociatesPartnerships OfficeRegional Partnerships Unit
Publications & KnowledgeBasic Digital PresencePublications ProgrammeKnowledge & Publications Division
Strategic ReserveDevelopingFully FundedGrowth & Expansion Fund

Institutional maturity is measured not simply by increasing revenue but by increasing capability. As revenue grows, the Institute deliberately invests proportionately more in research, faculty development, institutional knowledge and long-term sustainability, thereby ensuring that future growth rests upon stronger foundations rather than greater dependence upon individuals.
