In order to reinforce the overall global vision of the Baháʼí Faith a systematic sequence of plans was established by Shoghi Effendi, beginning with two local plans involving the North American Baháʼís between 1926 and 1933, and expanding to national plans from 1937 onwards. These national plans culminated with the global Ten Year Crusade from 1953 to 1963, and following the establishment of the Universal House of Justice in 1963 the pattern of regular plans continued. With time frames lasting between one to ten years, the plans aim to equip the Baháʼí community in bringing about the betterment of humanity through the promotion of individual spiritual development and social and individual transformation.
