Foundations our strategic approach

We design people-centred development pathways that transform resources into lasting value for communities.

AVSI works to promote integral human development, centred on the person and on relationships.
Foundations that partner with us find an organisation capable of transforming resources into lasting processes of growth, investing in education, protection, energy, the environment, training and employment.
We share a vision of philanthropy that builds shared value and strengthens communities’ ability to be protagonists of their own change.

Not beneficiaries, but protagonists

In every intervention, AVSI works alongside partners, institutions and civil society actors in the areas where it operates, so that solutions are generated by those who know the context, the needs and the potential. Foundations that choose AVSI take part in a process of co-design, built together step by step: from needs analysis to the definition of objectives, through to the monitoring of results.
This model strengthens local ownership, promotes sustainability and enhances the foundation’s strategic contribution, beyond its financial support.

Measurable and sustainable impact

Each project is supported by shared outcome indicators and transparent reporting.
We work to generate systemic impact, capable of influencing local policies, strengthening social cohesion and upholding people’s dignity.
