Among many others we are currently working internationally in South Asia, South East, Southern and Eastern Africa delivering the Integrating Development and Conflict Transformation Programme, funded by DFID, working in Botswana with eight local partners on a Rural Communities Livelihood Programme, funded by the EC, and working with a local NGO in Tanzania (UNCODET) on a Mother & Child Health project.?
The organization works to reduce poverty, injustice and inequality and to promote economic and social development in partnership with people and communities throughout the world. We do this by sharing and developing skills and ideas, facilitating organisational and social change and building awareness of development issues.
Our primary sectors for the period 2005-2010 are Health, Education, Environment and Economic empowerment and four themes will cut across all these sectors: Peace Building and Human Rights, Gender and HIV and AIDS.
The organization has both country and regionally based programmes with a geographical focus on both Africa and Asia.
