Enabling Social Prosperity
Our work is about sustaining developmental impact. By this we mean real and meaningful change that lasts. Our work is guided by three core values:
* Working with communities to co-create solutions
* Adopting a holistic approach to programme design
* Channelling funds appropriately and fairly with maximum benefit to
communities.
To achieve this, we investigate the systemic influences on health and wellbeing, collect and disseminate data on the state of animal health and wellbeing, implement tested approaches to establishing networks of community animal health workers, and research approaches for improved and sustained engagement in communities
We raise awareness and train community members in primary animal care, specifically in areas where access to animal healthcare is limited
* Conduct animal health and animal care skills development workshops
* Develop community animal healthcare capabilities
* Use surveys as data awareness tools
* Provide skills development opportunities
* Set up mechanisms for communities to conserve and exploit their data
* Build monitoring and evaluation capacity
* Create impact pathways by improving programme and project design
