Approach

SPO ensures that the voices of the citizens are included in key decision-making mechanisms and public policies. Our rights based approach is embedded in the design, implementation and execution of our soft and hard core service delivery initiatives and entails that: every citizen is aware of his/her fundamental rights and can engage in fulfilling their civic responsibilities, have access to basic rights which include but are not limited to Education; Healthcare; Sustainable Livelihood; Clean Drinking Water and Preparedness for Adaptation to Disaster Response.

We believe in the continuity of efforts that guarantee participation, innovation and ownership of the local communities, through facilitating the process to build consensus in identification and prioritization of underlying issues and find sustainable solutions and its execution at all levels.

Our key strategy to address any issue is based on a participatory process that aims to:

• Organize and mobilize communities and relevant stakeholders
• Inculcate sensitivity and raise awareness amongst communities and relevant stakeholders to initiate discussions and find sustainable solutions
• Enhance capacities of communities & stakeholders that equip them with in-depth knowledge
• Liaison and network with legislators, government departments and decision makers from local to national level to advocate for the attainment of basic fundamental rights
• Promote civic responsibilities in rural and urban communities
