Working for a just world

Trócaire is working for a just world where people's dignity is ensured, the rights of individuals are respected and where basic needs are met.

 Trócaire envisages a just world where people’s dignity is ensured, rights are respected and basic needs are met; where there is equity in the sharing of resources and people are free to be the authors of their own development.
 

A just world without poverty.

Every human being has the right to a decent existence. But hundreds of millions of people live in poverty. Injustice is the most important cause of poverty. Fighting poverty structurally starts with the basic rights of every human being.

 Oxfam Novib, a member of Oxfam International, is fighting for a just world without poverty. Together with people, organisations, businesses and governments. Through projects and lobby. Locally and internationally. Because poverty and injustice are global problems. They are about unjust economic and political relationships. That is why all the Oxfams are working together to have more influence and achieve more in our struggle for a just world without poverty.

PRIO is independent and international in staff and perspective. Our working language is English. The staff at PRIO comprises 50–60 people, of whom two-thirds are researchers (including PhD students). In addition to this, there are 5–10 MA students, who are provided with work spaces and scholarships while completing their theses.

Introduction to BAAG

The British and Irish Agencies Afghanistan Group (BAAG) was set up by British NGOs in 1987 as an umbrella group to draw public attention to the humanitarian needs of the population of Afghanistan and of Afghan refugees in Iran and Pakistan. Recent events in Afghanistan have further highlighted the need to ensure that humanitarian needs remain on the agenda of the international community. Over the years the BAAG Project has built on its expertise and knowledge and its staff are widely regarded as an authoritative source of information on Afghanistan. BAAG is widely regarded as one of the most effective networks of its kind and over the years has developed in order to meet changing needs: however its central role has remained the same.

Counterpart International
