Programs
RESDO implements development and humanitarian programs in partnership with international development partners.
I
Sustainable coordination and networking:
RESDO defines sustainability as consistently supporting target com- munities both during and after humanitarian emergencies. To network and coordinate effectively, RESDO works with humanitarian networks, partners, relevant government structures and local com- munities.
II
Technical and financial sustainability:
To ensure its projects are technically and financially sustainable, RESDO establishes groups and committees among the target populations in order to manage and control results.
These groups and committees often include members from target populations, which empowers them and promotes ownership of the project or program they are managing.
III
Social and institutional sustainability:
RESDO used techniques that are culturally accepted, economically sound, socially sustainable, and environmentally friendly. Existing community structures are routinely used and strengthened to deliver important messages and information related to projects. Furthermore, program management committees are set up to actively participate from the beginning.
IV
Cost-effectiveness:
RESDO strives to ensure efficient service delivery. RESDO is embedded within local communities and economies in such a way that it can provide services in the most cost-effective way possible. All RESDO staff are locally based, which avoids the use of expatriates in order to lower administrative costs. Additional activities targeted at individuals and families are often implemented by linking complementary services at different levels to increase efficiency.
V
Timeliness and quality:
RESDO has a well-dedicated and committed staff who have experience in completing projects on time, within the project budget and the required standards. RESDO implements projects with the highest quality, meeting the demand and expectations of stakeholders.
VI
Community participation:
No project can be truly successful without the input, insight, and involvement of target communities. RESDO always consults with local communities to ensure that their involvement is continuous throughout the life of the project.
RESDO encourages and motivates varying degrees of contributions from different stake- holders in the project life cycle. In connection with this, RESDO makes use of existing com- munity structures to ensure regular feedback, consultation, and open lines of communication.
