Our Values

Consultation

We harness the power of our team and partners by collectively seeking solutions with courtesy and complete honesty. We are detached from our own views and understand that unity of purpose is more important than being right.

Humility

We engage in self-reflection, active listening and seek feedback. We refrain from self-righteousness, criticism, and gossip, and are happy when our partners and colleagues succeed. We are all human and know that no country is inherently better than another.

Optimism

We are positive in our attitude and words, realistic in our planning, and undeterred in the pursuit of our objectives. We have faith in ourselves, our team, and our partners and capitalize on obstacles to uncover opportunities.

Trustworthiness

We are reliable, on time, disciplined, and deliver on our commitments. We always tell the truth, and are ethical in our lives, dealings, and actions. We hold ourselves, our colleagues and our partners to the same standards.

Impact

We know that partnership is key to scaling our impact. We invest time and energy in viable initiatives and embrace change and new approaches to deliver impact. We share knowledge and information broadly so everyone can advance.

Our Team

Quarterly Spotlight
