Themes
and strategic guidelines
For
over a quarter of a century enda has maintained the same hopes,
the same essential goals - all the while continuing to expand
and multiply, challenging itself and moving forward.
It's
essential aim is still to fight for the disadvantaged, for
women, for young people and children wherever they are in
rural or urban areas. And, at the same time, to take part
in the "battle of ideas": training, communication, research,
reflection and motivation on a national and international
level.
Recently
enda has been committed to defining a communal vision, a group
approach to run alongside the increasing autonomy and responsibilities
of those who work in the organisation or with it.
The
emphasis, therefore, is on the common denominator in the fight
against poverty, for a civil society and sustainable development
and also on the methods and means of action that are best
suited for bringing these aims together - the way things are
done is just as important as what actually gets done.
Putting
these thoughts into practice has led to the creation of ten
strategic guidlines, which serve as a permanent reference
for everyone, stated in terms of the needs, the expectations
and the actions of the people in each society and each community.
These
guidelines are neither definitive nor fixed, in fact they
are characterised by their flexibility and can easily be replaced
by other action guidelines if needs be. Their wording authorises
and encourages transferability and cross-disciplinary synergy.
