AMANI OPERATING PRINCIPLES
Amani’s works are guided by the following five core principles: –
1. Active Listening – We consistently challenge our assumptions and inequalities by actively listening to and co-defining priorities from the perspectives of those our programming intends to serve.
2. Co-creation – Amani creates diverse, inclusive, and participatory spaces where lived experience skills and evidence can combine to co-create viable local solutions. Reflect, learn, and evolve together based on practical experience and desired outcomes.
3. Shared leadership and power by working in allyship – Amani openly acknowledges power and privilege disparities and allows partners to voice, agency, and influence over the programs intended to serve them. Engage in active and continuous processes of unlearning and re-evaluating, in which people in positions of privilege and power seek to operate in solidarity with marginalized groups.
4. Create real value – Amani provides the right level of support to girls and other partners such that they are comfortable and benefit from all points of interaction.
5. Do No Harm – Amani has Zero tolerance for discrimination, violence in any form, and child exploitation.
