Hivos is a Dutch non-governmental organisation inspired by humanist values. Together with local organisations in developing countries, Hivos seeks to contribute to a free, fair and sustainable world in which citizens - women and men - have equal access to the resources and opportunities for their development. And where they can actively and equally participate in decision-making processes that determine their lives, their society and their future. Hivos believes in the creativity and capacity
of individuals. Quality, co-operation and innovation form the core values in
Hivos? philosophy. Hivos is committed to the poor and marginalised in Africa,
Asia, Latin America and South-east Europe. A sustainable improvement in their
conditions is the ultimate benchmark for Hivos? work and efforts. The
empowerment of women is an essential concern in all its programmes. Hivos provides financial and political support for local NGO's. Besides offering finance and advice, Hivos is also active in networking, lobbying and in exchanging knowledge and expertise, not only at international level, but also in the Netherlands. (More......)
