Empowering Marginalised Grassroots Citizens And Challenging Inequality

We work by empowering and building the capacity of grassroots communities to express voice and exercise agency in demanding democratic and social accountability from duty bearers and public office holders. We achieve social inclusion through dynamic grassroots community organising, social mobilization, movement building, long-term partnerships with grassroots networks and proactive engagement with government agencies and duty bearers.

Our Programmes

Governance

We work to promote inclusion and grassroots participation in local governance through participatory budgeting, civic education and civic engagement in promoting electoral integrity, transparency and democratic accountability. We also work to increase the participation of women and persons with disabilities in politics and governance.

Digital Inclusion

We work to create opportunities that enable grassroots citizens, especially women, young people and persons with disabilities, to tap into the power of technology; and drive innovation in the adaptation and use of digital solutions tailored to meet the needs of grassroots citizens ensuring that no one is left behind in the digital economy.

Sustainable Community Development

We work to redress inequality between rural communities and cities, and within communities and cities, in terms of quality of life, access to wealth, material and financial resources, services and amenities, prioritising the interest of the most vulnerable members.
