Consult our position statements

Ethical principles

The Foundation begins by strengthening the influence of those who are primarily concerned (citizens, people from marginalized or disadvantaged environments, civil society actors) and to report on their realities, without claiming to “represent” them. We are committed to:

  • taking a position and being a non-partisan voice further to consultation with our partners and other stakeholders.
  • recognizing and valuing the diversity of points of view and the dialogue between different stakeholders.
  • not claiming to be “experts” on issues and solutions (basing our work on documented facts) or to represent citizens from disadvantaged or marginalized environments.
  • participating in collective action, providing support without taking the lead.

 

Our methods

  • Submitting briefs and taking part in public consultations
  • Supporting and participating in events, collectives, committees, actions and coalitions
  • Adding our voice to public position statements in the media, most frequently in collaboration or after consultation with other stakeholders
