We acknowledge that communities have better solutions to the challenges that face them. We believe in listening and recognizing community challenges, empowering them and enhancing their capacities to effectively break the interlocking poverty trap. We adopt the Sustainable Livelihoods Framework to stimulate dialogue with communities about underlying factors that perpetuate poverty and enter consensus on how to eliminate vulnerability, illiteracy, exclusion and powerlessness.
For our work to make the best possible contribution in tackling poverty and free community of poverty, hunger and social injustice, the programs we deliver are of the highest quality. They are based on research and solid evidence, adhere to global standards and be subject to vigorous measurements. Delivering high quality programs depends on our staff using robust processes to manage every aspect of our operations and program work for the organizational reputations of quality.
We believe in partnering with Government (line Ministries), donors, communities, corporate, academia and other humanitarian and development actors in order to effectively achieve our vision. This means combining our expertise to confront poverty in order to achieve sustainable human development.
We are focusing to contribute in the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with focuses on goal 1 No Poverty. Drawing strength from our diversity, resources and experience, we promote innovative solutions and are advocates for national responsibility. Guided by the aspirations of local communities, we pursue our mission with both excellence and compassion because the people whom we serve deserve nothing less. We facilitate lasting change by:
• Strengthening capacity for self-help and resilience. • Providing economic opportunity • Delivering relief in emergencies • Influencing policy decisions at all levels for better response. • Addressing discrimination in all its forms
GC4A believes that citizens have a right to hold governments and institutions accountable, to expect them to respect their rights and do what they say they will do. Likewise, we believe that non-governmental organizations should be accountable to the communities in which they work, to partner organizations, and to those from whom they receive support. Lastly we believed that our programmatic interventions must be guided by the principle of God fearing, for he knows our actions throughout.
Great Change for All is not a religious, political or a commercial organization; We are committed on providing humanitarian, early recovery, community resilience building and strengthening, and development support to all communities irrespective of religion, gender, creed, political affiliation, tribe etc.
GC4A believes that given timely and appropriate support all disaster affected communities have an inherent ability to pull themselves out of crises. Therefore, the approach adopted when implementing our programmes is fully participatory; in which ideas from the affected communities form the basic foundation of our planning, design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of all initiatives. We also expect full commitment to these values from our staff, partners and targeted beneficiaries.
