Our philosophy is
I
To
promote development through transmitting
values,
knowledge, skills and resources
that allow experimentation and
change of attitudes;
II
To
facilitate models of development
based on the creativity of individuals
in the community, and which can
be copied and replicated;
III
To
strengthen local groups, leaderships
and wisdom, managed in a sustainable
fashion with participation and
transparency.
Our approach is:
"software"
first, "hardware" later;
the principle of
helping self-help;
synergies between
local beneficiaries and stakeholders
based on protocols of understanding;
Making individuals
and local leaderships jointly
responsible in the cycle of project,
process, content and outcomes;
Horizontal and
vertical integration of projects
and programmers and the flow of
relevant information;
Participation,
transparency and the handing over
of management to community groups
Our instruments are
Co-financing
as an instrument that makes it
possible to allocate resources
which, when added to the resources
available locally, help undertake
specific activities to fight against
poverty in the communities.
Institutional capacity
building of NGOs and CBOs, so
that these organizations become
increasingly capable of working
as agents that promote development,
and thus strengthen the role of
Mozambican civil society.
Information and
advocacy, seeking the creation
of a socio-political, economic
and legal framework favorable
to community development.
