All actions performed by ATIA are to be in line with the Inter Aide charter, and therefore ATIA strives to:
-
Start from the needs on the field, with a
practical and professional approach.
-
Limit the range of activities to the implementation of development programmes
(no mediatisation or public fundraising).
-
Act in the strictest personal and political neutrality, respecting the convictions of the beneficiaries.
-
Always seek to reach the most disadvantaged families.
-
Always act so as to reinforce the families’ own development capacities, making them self-reliant, not dependant.
-
Give priority, whenever possible, to productive actions and to those facilitating access to employment.
-
Find or set up a local partner initially as an anchor
point for the program and ultimately as a sustainable actor.
