We take a human rights-based approach to everything we do because basic needs, such as food and education, are basic rights.

ADD International is a rights-based organisation working in partnership with disabled people in some of the poorest countries in Africa and Asia for positive change. We do this by encouraging disabled people to come together to channel their voices and campaign for their own rights.
During 2011 we supported 316 disabled people’s organisations with a total membership of 121,267.As well as the challenges to surviving each day that face the millions of people living in poverty, disabled people have to cope with the additional barriers caused by discrimination, stigma and social exclusion.
Through our programmes we help disabled people to develop or strengthen their organisational capacities to advocate for their rights as equal citizens and so for access to services such as health, education, employment, but also self-determination and security.
With our independent voice, ADD International is active on a global level in influencing governments and institutions for greater inclusion of disability in development process.
AGTER is an international non-profit association (under French law). It has been created in March 2005 by a group of people of different origins that took part in works or exchanges between actors of civil society organizations on the issues of access to natural resources and land.
They want to clarify the links between poverty, underdevelopment and access to resources, in order to set up lasting alternatives to the ongoing policies. AGTER aims at contributing to improve the governance of land, water and natural resources and at conceiving new ways of managing those resources, better adapted to face the challenges of the twenty-and-first century.
AGTER promotes a permanent thinking and learning process, in order to help civil society members and other concerned actors to get informed, to come up with and implement proposals.
