Social Change
" Empowering people can be
viewed as an asset on its own."
We develop our projects with the conviction that local decision making has the most direct influence in people's lives. Our projects focus on enabling local actors to engage in public action. This may imply developing their capacity to discuss and communicate, opening up to problem-solving and decision-making skills, and the ability to work in partnership with local authorities. We contribute to design policies, using participatory processes.
We develop tools to progress towards a stronger and more egalitarian society. By means of guidelines, manuals, organizations mapping and other studies, we intend to support institutions, communities, organizations in their action towards protecting the most vulnerable.
We work to transform knowledge and experience into consensus and action that will help structuring communities' initiatives. We conduct training and capacity building activities to empower the people and encourage the emergence of social change.

Sustainable Development
"Sustainable development necessarily addresses the environmental, social, cultural, political and economic determinants that underpin wealthy living. This implies adopting a multi-sector approach to find robust, long term solutions."
We focus our efforts on disseminating good practices in aid delivery methods, designing and implementing capacity building activities. The coaching of stakeholders and our participation to reference Toolkits and Manuals are key to fulfil this mission.
We support initiatives that advance on natural resources management (including freshwater, land resources, forests, biodiversity, …), building economically and socially attractive environments. This implies avoiding or reducing negative impacts on the quality of local ecosystems, and planning for future maintenance and further improvements.
We support institutions and local actors to understand climate change vulnerability and risk, and to develop policies and planning processes as a response. To sustain climate resilience, we provide climate finance analysis and sourcing, and advice on policies oriented towards a green economy.
We implement results based management systems, raising the capacity for evidence based analysis on specific issues, developing skills for policy analysis, innovative financing and review of aid processes and effectiveness.
