Empowers communities and individuals to improve livelihoods and opportunities
Focus on poor people in resource-poor areas
The AKDN offers a different, coordinated approach. AKDN a group of international, private, non-denominational development agencies and institutions. It seeks to empower communities and individuals to improve their living conditions and opportunities, and it usually works with poor people in resource-poor areas.
In response to the question raised in the slide above, AKDN replies that financing alone is not the answer. The recent World Bank HNP stratgegy notes that money for medicine and equipment alone, without the right chain of events isnt enough to save lives. The AKDN shares this conviction and affirms that: (a) the development perspective must be long-term; and that (b) there must be a focus on human resource development (remember Botwana), proper governance, effective management and community involvement.
AKDNs vision is improving living conditions and opportunities for people in the poorest parts of the developing world.A group of international, private, non-denominational development agencies
