Our Approach
We apply community-based approach in humanitarian program design and implementation to ensure the target beneficiaries have “the right to participate in making decisions that affect their lives” as well as “a right to information and transparency” from our programs.
We apply community-driven approach in development programming to ensure transparency, participation, local empowerment, demand-responsiveness, greater downward accountability, and enhanced local capacity.
We consult the target communities and other stakeholders and involve them in every stage of project/program management cycle to ensure we are providing sustainable, context-specific, and tailored solutions to developmental and humanitarian challenges.
Do-no-harm principle and safety are at the core of your programming process to ensure our operation is safe and does not cause any harm to individuals and environment.
