Strategy
Food and agriculture profoundly impact all 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We primarily focus on SDG 2: Zero Hunger, while also prioritizing SDG 1: No Poverty and SDG 5: Gender Equality. By addressing these goals, we contribute to multiple SDGs, such as climate action, life on land, and good health and well-being, through sustainable food production and empowering marginalized communities.
EQUAL TO OTHERS: People affected by conflict and displacement must be able to seek safety and claim basic rights.
ON PAR WITH OTHERS: People affected by conflict and displacement must be able to pursue self-reliance.
End hunger, achieve food security and improve nutrition by 2030, Aghsan Foundation has identified four strategic programme initiatives that will receive special focus and attention:
Aghsan Foundation commits to work systematically to reinforce community resilience to environmental and conflict-related stresses and shocks, and to strengthen natural resource management and regenerative practices.
Aghsan Foundation commits to increase the possibilities for people affected by conflict and displacement to gain equitable access to markets as an important conduit for services, goods, employment, and income.
Aghsan Foundation commits to mobilise actors as broadly as possible to support free education to people affected by conflict and displacement, and thus ensure their rights to protection and inclusion.
Aghsan Foundation commits to increase the protection of people in hard-to-reach areas or situations by advancing our humanitarian advocacy and access negotiation, expanding collaboration with local responders, and making better use of digital technologies that enable remote programming.
To improve the efficacy and efficiency of our work, Aghsan Foundation has identified three foundational strategic priorities that we will leverage as we deliver on our breakthrough goals of increased protection and enhanced inclusion.
Impactful advocacy based on more evidence
Aghsan Foundation commits to improved evidence-based advocacy and humanitarian diplomacy for people affected by conflict and displacement.
Better value for money
Aghsan Foundation commits to strengthen our ability to maximise value for money and pursue innovative and increasingly sustainable financing models.
Stronger partnerships and alliances
Aghsan Foundation commits to leverage our efforts by embracing strong partnerships and by working with and through these partners in new fields and sectors, both internationally and locally.
As humanitarian challenges change, so must Aghsan Foundation. Therefore, and in addition to the humanitarian principles that govern our work, Aghsan Foundation has identified five organisational priorities that must be reflected in our programmatic work and all internal and external relations:
Be accountable
Aghsan Foundation commits to improve our governance structures, to ensure that the voices, interests, and capacities of the people affected by displacement and conflict are more recognised and respected in Aghsan Foundation and in the world.
Go local
Aghsan Foundation commits to support people affected by conflict and displacement by building self-sustainable local capacities and sustainable local development into our programming and operations.
Go green
Aghsan Foundation commits to respond to the global climate crisis and environmental degradation by increasing the adaptive capacities of people affected by conflict and displacement, and by ensuring that our own conduct is nature-positive.
Go digital
Aghsan Foundation commits to increase its ability to cultivate digital opportunities in high-quality interventions that add value for displaced communities.
Include
Aghsan Foundation commits to address the power dynamics which result in marginalization and exclusion within our organisation, programmes, and beyond.
