About Us

Work approach

DVCN assumes that development strategies are effective when they are based on scientific evidence and cultural relevance to the communities.

  • We reinforce public policies because, when backed by an adequate public investment and multisectoral responsibility, they provide systematic and coherent action to improve life for those most in need.
  • We strengthen the capacities of organizations and individuals at the local level because these institutions are the entities that make policies effective and propel advancement towards social equity.
  • We promote and facilitate interchange and collaboration at the local, national and international levels as a way to share experiences and resources, and also to mobilize collective action around common problems, thus contributing to economic and social well-being.

Equity, gender equality, the promotion and defense of human rights, and social participation constitute the cross-sectional values in our work. 

Team
