Commitment to people, the envroment and equity.

CIFAs main objective is to encourage and support local initiatives that enhance sustainable development through adoption of cutting edge technologies and approaches. CIFA promotes the use of local resources, appreciation of local knowledge and experience as the building blocks for development activity. Careful research into the socio-economic, cultural, technical and environmental conditions is an essential pre-requisite for successful investment. Participation of beneficiaries in design, implementation and evaluation is considered essential. Integration of activities, local capacity building, negotiation with beneficiaries and the principle that women and men are considered equal partners are important elements of the development process.
Working with partners and community-based organisation is part and parcel of CIFA’s work. CIFA believes that sustainable development requires long-term relationships and strong mutual commitment.
The bold step taken in the early 2000 to expand CIFA’s activities to Sothern Ethiopia and to set up local offices and set up a truly regional outlook based on local capacity has proved well justified. It has proved that the NGO has an organizational structure capable of responding to the changing face and new demands of regional development co-operation.
