Vision
- An effective development is done by the local communities.
- The word ‘Development’ is only meaningful if it is used in a sustainable way.
- That development induces the empowerment of the communities, through learning and appropriation of adapted tools, and through a strong civil society.
- Local projects must be thought of in a global approach, integrating all the direct and indirect beneficiaries of the projects.
- Once appropriated, these projects can work as engine for future developments.
- To achieve this, each project needs to go along with trainings and awareness campaigns that will strengthen sustainable and emancipating behaviors.
- These local integrated projects are the key for an equilibrated development.
ODDY-C wishes to sustain local communities on their way to development and to promote a more fair and united world.
