DELIGENCE

Our commitment to every detail guarantees our continuous ability to make connections between seemingly unrelated issues thus enabling us to solve complex development challenges holistically. We have therefore built a strong institutional capacity to maintain performance despite negative shocks.

PURPOSE

We know what we do and why we do it. Our drive to deliver concrete actions in line with our mission and objectives is resolute and unflinching. “Sustainable transforming Africa together” is a commitment 

we have taken with the African people and the global community. On no instance shall we rescind from this.

TEAM WORK

We recognize that high performance is a collective endeavor and that unity/cohesion among members produces high performance, we also recognize that diversity of ideas on how to deliver sustainable development for communities in distress doesn’t constitute a weakness but strength. 

Thus our decision to always ensure teamwork is based on the problem solving synergy that is usually generated by members from multiple minds working together on sustainable solutions.

NEUTRALITY

We do not take sides in the politics of member states, armed conflicts and the agendas of warring parties in our areas of operation. We are independent of any religious affiliation. Our focus always remains providing vital development assistance to communities in distress and ensuring conditions that guarantee

 their collective security including that of property and their natural environment.  Therefore our assistance to communities isn’t discriminatory for it doesn’t take in to account religious leaning or political affiliation but is based on need

TRANSPARENCY & ACCOUNTABILITY

We take responsibility of accounting for our actions. As a result we are ever committed to sharing information with all our collaborators and partners to help them make good decisions and understand how those 

decisions impact the communities we engage. This is to say even though we have a commitment to remain neutral, we cannot afford to remain indifferent in the face of injustices for neutrality doesn’t mean silence. Furthermore evaluations, critical reviews and debate on our field practices, our public positioning and on wider development issues are necessary to improve what we do.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO END PLASTIC POLLUTION?

Science education has an important part in developing understanding of concepts that underpin environmental issues, leading potentially to pro-environmental behavior. However, science is commonly perceived negatively leading to inappropriate and negative models of science that do not connect to peoples experiences. Thus the need for greater emphasis on science that focuses on changing perceptions and ensuring evidence based policies geared towards achieving environmental sustainability and ending plastic pollution.

ASDPN International join’s the United Nations and the rest of the international community in encouraging worldwide awareness and action for the protection of our environment.

This year, join us to help #BeatPlasticPollution.
