From 1978 to 1997, with meagre support and an unfocused mandate, Habitat struggled almost alone among multi-lateral organizations to prevent and ameliorate problems stemming from massive urban growth, especially among cities of the developing world. From 1997 to 2002, by which time half the world had become urban, UN-HABITAT – guided by the Habitat Agenda and the Millennium Declaration – underwent a major revitalisation, using its experience to identify emerging priorities for sustainable urban development and to make needed course corrections. On 1 January 2002, the agency’s mandate was strengthened and its status elevated to that of a fully fledged programme of the UN system in UN General Assembly Resolution A/56/206. Key recommendations and fine tuning of the agenda are now underway as strategy clusters for achieving the urban development and shelter goals and targets of the Millennium Declaration - the United Nations’ development agenda for the next 15 to 20 years. The revitalisation has placed UN-HABITAT squarely in the mainstream of the UN’s development agenda for poverty reduction with a more streamlined and effective structure and staff, and more relevant and focused set of programmes and priorities. It is through this agenda that UN-HABITAT contributes to the overall objective of the United Nations system to reduce poverty and promote sustainable development. Its partners range from governments and local authorities to a wide international cross-section of Non-Governmental Organisations and civil society groups.

VETERINAIRES SANS FRONTIERES (VSF)

VSF aide à optimaliser l’élevage dan les pays en voie de développement. VSF s’efforce d’améliorer les conditions de vie des peuples les plus pauvres du monde, dépendant directement ou indirectement du bétail, en optimisant l’élevage. Dans le Tiers-Monde, l’agriculture est souvent présente du début à la fin de toute vie. Le bétail joue un rôle crucial dans l’alimentation et le revenu des familles. Mais souvent, la médecine vétérinaire, garante d’un troupeau sain, est inaccessible ou trop limitée. Les vétérinaires de VSF aident les éleveurs locaux en apportant des formations, des technologies et un savoir-faire en matière de production, de santé animale et de commercialisation du bétail. Ce soutien est toujours précédé d’une concertation avec toutes les parties concernées.
Notre approche est toujours participative. A long terme, VSF vise toujours l’autosuffisance et la remise des projets aux éleveurs locaux, même quand il s’agit de projet d’aide d’urgence. L’approche participative est en effet au cœur de la philosophie de VSF. Les solutions structurelles, toujours en collaboration étroite avec les habitants du lieu, sont indispensables pour aider la population à prendre son sort en main. Nous travaillons systématiquement avec un partenaire local ou nous tentons d’organiser les éleveurs en associations. VSF opère à petite échelle, soutenant et stimulant au niveau local des projets de développement durable de l’élevage, dans le respect de la Terre, de l’animal et de l’homme.

Long before "virtuous cycle" became a cliché, our founder, Robert Nathan, knew that in a competitive system of markets and prices the advantage gained from innovation would be rewarded and lead to further innovation. Competition promotes economic growth and development by driving innovation and rewarding success. At Nathan Associates, we provide clients with solutions powered by an understanding of the economics of competition, innovation, and reward. 

Our understanding of the costs and benefits of a competitive system of markets and prices derives from our experience developing and providing expert economic testimony in antitrust litigation, including class actions, and estimating the damages from anti-competitive behavior. Internationally, we develop and help implement trade policy that allows expansion of geographic markets and wider dispersion of the benefits of competition.

Pact's mission is to help build strong communities globally that provide people with an opportunity to earn a dignified living, raise healthy families, and participate in democratic life. Pact achieves this by strengthening the capacity of grassroots organizations, coalitions and networks and by forging linkages among government, business and the citizen sectors to achieve social, economic and environmental justice.

Working at Pact When people walk into our offices they invariably exclaim that they would like to work here. We think this doesn’t have much to do with our decorating tastes (although we have that too), but with the warmth and friendliness they encounter. When people do work that’s meaningful and aligned with their personal values, it’s energizing and others notice—even before sitting down to talk with us. We do most of our work in teams, give anyone with a good idea a chance to run with it, and aren’t afraid of taking risks. Because we believe in what we’re doing, we sometimes work long hours. But we’re also flexible about when people come and go and encourage people to work at home unless they're needed in face-to-face meetings. Although our headquarters staff is fewer than 40 people, we are diverse in our backgrounds (from over 15 countries), age (more under 40 than over 40) and gender (well, as diverse as two sexes can allow). Overseas, of course, our staff is even more diverse and numbers more than 250 people. We believe in retaining good staff and will do everything we can to bridge funding gaps when a project terminates and a new o­ne hasn’t yet begun. We also encourage staff growth and advancement, including training and professional skills building to increase knowledge and competence and to stay abreast of new developments, especially in technology. Our benefits are some of the best you will find among nonprofit and for-profit corporations. They reflect the importance we attach to staff worth and embrace family-friendly policies as well as policies that encourage everyone to strive for a healthy balance between work and life outside of work. We think for the most part we come pretty close.

UNICEF believes that the protection of children is crucial to their survival, health, and well-being. Unfortunately, millions of children are exploited, millions are abused, millions are victims of violence. Every day, they are bought and sold, imported and exported like consumable things. Children are forced to be soldiers, prostitutes, sweatshop workers, servants.

Abuse, exploitation and violence – disgraceful as they are – usually occur in private. They are often elements in organized crime and corruption. o­nly time reveals the consequences: children uneducated, unhealthy and impoverished.

UNICEF believes that everyone has a responsibility to see that children are safe. We work with individuals, civic groups, governments and the private sector to help create protective environments for them. Healthy, nurturing surroundings allow children to resist abuse and avoid exploitation. Caring environments fortify children against harm in the same way that proper nutrition and good health care fortify them against disease.
