Public benefits
Purpose 1: the relief of poverty. The direct benefits which flow from this purpose include access to secure and sustainable livelihoods, and reduced vulnerability to droughts, floods or other disasters. We achieve this by working across a number of areas: • Ending poverty and hunger, through supporting families and communities to secure access to
land, clean water and the resources needed to produce a healthy and nutritious diet; to sustainably increase and diversify agricultural production; to access new sources of income to combat malnutrition and increase food security. • Responding to humanitarian crises in countries where natural disaster or conflict has put people’s lives at risk. •Tackling HIV and AIDS through working to reduce vulnerability to HIV infection, and to reduce the impact of HIV and AIDS on poor and marginalised communities. • Promoting gender equality, helping women to achieve their basic rights, and to earn a living. Supporting those exposed to gender-based violence, and working to build women’s leadership and support their equal participation in decision-making at all levels. • Campaigning for justice, supporting the work of documenting human rights violations and challenging those responsible, and empowering marginalised and poor people, especially women, to participate in governance processes and demand accountability from their governments. These benefits are demonstrated through the monitoring, evaluation and impact assessment of all programmes, which include surveys and interviews with beneficiaries. All programmes have baseline data and success indicators against which outcomes are measured. This purpose does not give rise to any harm. The beneficiaries of this purpose are people who live in extreme poverty in a number of countries in the developing world. They also include those affected and impacted by humanitarian emergencies. There are no private benefits flowing from this purpose. Purpose 2: the advancement of education. The direct benefits which flow from this purpose include increased awareness and understanding of the world in which we live, engaged children and young people, who are empowered to take action for a more just and sustainable world. The direct benefits also include improved quality in the delivery of development education. These benefits are demonstrated through the monitoring, evaluation and impact assessment of all programmes. This includes surveys and interviews with participants. Baseline data and success indicators are also used to measured outcomes. This purpose does not give rise to any harm.
