Framing Concept
This module pushes each trainee to reimagine their commitments as part of a bolder transformation—one that doesn’t settle for incremental progress, but catalyses real systems change. The 7 Moonshots of Agenda 2063 serve as both targets and inspiration.
Objectives
- Introduce “Moonshot Thinking” as a mindset of boldness and transformation.
- Deepen understanding of the 7 Moonshots and their systemic interlinkages.
- Equip participants to refine their commitments using three delivery texts: value proposition, political anchoring, and delivery systems.
- Guide analysis of one key policy instrument that supports their Moonshot-aligned commitment through the lens of power spaces.
Content
- What is a Moonshot? What makes a goal bold but achievable?
- The 7 Moonshots of Agenda 2063: What systems must shift for each?
- Review of insights from Delivering Development Plans on strategic fit and political anchoring.
- How to apply the “Three Tests of Strategic Integrity” – value proposition, political anchoring and delivery system – to your personal or organizational commitments.

Key Messages
- Ambition must be structured. Moonshots only succeed with the right delivery systems.
