How we work

Four principles that guide every activity

Inclusive

We design activities so they reach people through everyday services, without singling anyone out.
Evidence-based

We build simple evaluation into our activities from the start, so decisions follow what we observe.
Sustainable

We strengthen capacity that already exists in a community rather than working around it.
In partnership

We work with government, civil society, researchers and communities toward shared, accountable goals.
