Purpose

The disintegration of the current world order and its impacts on the social, economic and environmental life of our communities calls upon us to re-evaluate the essential relationships, perspectives, knowledge, and experience that contribute to the building of vibrant communities.

To ensure that all regions advance to higher levels of material and spiritual well-being, development organizations and the wider society require a more accurate understanding of the nature and roots of the problems at hand and the relevant and innovative solutions that are being developed from the perspective of the protagonists of development themselves.

In addition, research on the distinct impacts of grassroots development organizations is essential to building a more robust evidence base that identifies and communicates the conceptual frameworks and principles that most effectively contribute to sustainable and transformative social, economic, and environmental progress.
