International Needs Australia partners with the local staff in our ‘front-line’ offices to deliver highly cost effective and locally sustainable outcomes.
We are strongly committed to supporting our Partners in their aspirations to be agents and advocates of the poorest and most marginalised in their own country.
Working with communities through our Partners we will: - Contribute directly to positive change in people’s lives through long-term development work at the local level.
- Strengthen the capacity of individuals, communities and non-government agencies to bring about and sustain change.
- Capture the lessons from our work at the local level and use these to improve our own practice and influence the practice of others.
- Challenge the ideas and beliefs which underpin poverty and injustice and mobilise support for change.
