Our Vision and Mission
Our vision is of a world where current and future generations have the means to fulfill their basic human needs and human rights.
Skat is committed to the reduction of poverty through the promotion of sustainable livelihoods and the improvement of the living conditions of disadvantaged and marginalised people. We apply our expertise in development cooperation in an integrated manner, taking into account technical, social and economic issues.
Planning, design and implementation of projects are undertaken through participatory approaches that take perceptions of all stakeholders into account in order to foster sustainability and accountability for better and long-lasting impacts.
Five principles underpin our work:
- poverty reduction: embracing international development targets to combat poverty.
- good governance: enabling the effective delivery of public goods and services in line with limited available resources and capacities.
- capacity building: augmenting the capacity and capability of local organisations to deliver identified development outputs.
- participatory approaches: working with project partners, local governments and communities.
- high quality services: providing high quality services and continuously looking for ways to improve these
