What Guides Us

Our Core Values

Respect

We recognise the dignity, experiences and choices of every person. We listen without judgement and communicate in ways that are age-appropriate and culturally aware.

Inclusiveness

We work to remove barriers faced by girls, boys, young women, young men, refugees, out-of-school youth, persons with disabilities and other underserved groups.

Integrity

We act honestly, use resources responsibly and communicate results and limitations transparently.

Innovation

We test, learn and adapt, using evidence, technology and community insight to improve how young people receive information, services and opportunity.

Accountability

We are answerable to young people, communities, partners and public institutions. We welcome feedback and use it to improve quality and results.

Youth Voice

Young people should participate meaningfully in decisions that affect them. We create spaces for them to lead, advocate and shape programmes and services.

Partnership

Complex challenges require collective action. We build respectful relationships with government, communities, civil society, development partners and the private sector.

Safeguarding

We are committed to protecting children, young people, programme participants and staff from abuse, exploitation, harassment and preventable harm.
