Practices to involve the beneficiaries and other stakeholders in the project cycle, to achieve the intended results.
We work with amazing people to bring about positive and lasting change in some of the world's poorest places.
Every day ordinary people in the poorest parts of the world are taking a stand and sacrificing their own safety for the justice and rights we often take for granted. In Colombia, Honduras, Guatemala, Sudan, Zimbabwe and Israel/Occupied Palestinian Territories human rights defenders, trade unionists and journalists continue to come under extreme pressure for speaking out.
Why work on Governance & Human Rights? To challenge the social, economic and political structures that deepen injustice and condemn people to a life of poverty. Empowering vulnerable and marginalised people to demand their rights and challenge their government to account is critical to ending global poverty.

In Angola a local radio station gives citizens airtime to hold their local government to account. The results have include restored electricity and water supplies and support for families affected by recent flooding.
