OUR FOUR GOALS

Just Economies

People and the planet are at the centre of just and sustainable economic systems.  

Accountable Governance

Governance systems and governments are people-centred, planet-focused, just and accountable.   

Gender Justice

Women and girls in all their diversity live free from gender oppression, discrimination and violence. 

Climate Justice

The climate crisis is abated through radical solutions and there is environmental justice for all. 

In order to deliver on our four overarching global goals in our 10 Year Strategic Framework, we are working in implementation blocks called Horizon Plans.

In the last year we completed and reviewed our first three-year Horizon Plan and have now embarked on our second. 

Horizon Plan 2024 - 2027 will focus on delivering specific Outcomes under six Focus Areas:

16% ensures we are doing everything we can to raise funds from different types of donors and to let the public know about our work.

5% ensures we work in the most efficient and effective way, and the money donated is spent wisely and well managed.

In emergency appeals, 100% of your donation goes to that specific response fund, providing vital and practical supports such as clean water, sanitation, food and the crucial staff costs to deliver the response.

Over the last year, our work was made possible by the movement of people who share our values and vision for the world. We are so grateful to all those who joined us in fighting inequality to end poverty and injustice. Thank you to our
