About strategy

The changing postal environment and the emergence of new commercial challenges call for a sound worldwide strategy, with specific objectives and solutions tailored to the problems facing postal operators. Strategic planning helps UPU member Posts to meet these new challenges and to bring their operating methods into line with changes in the sector.

Doha Postal Strategy

In September 2012, the 25th UPU Congress approved the Doha Postal Strategy (DPS), the UPU's strategic plan for the period 2013–2016. The UPU developped a clear strategic road map, not only to guide its future actions but also to make sure that it continues to provide added value for its members.

Regional round tables

In 2011, seven regional round tables were held in conjunction with the restricted unions. They provided an opportunity to consult with Union member countries, whose individual situations and proposals have been taken into account in establishing the Doha Postal Strategy.
