The core values of our organisations, inspire us, and guide our choices how we deal with people in and outside our organisation.

 

Respect : We treat all people with dignity and respect regardless of their age, gender, ethnicity, religion, political beliefs, position, origin, socio-economic situation, including beneficiaries, stakeholders, and DAMA staff, through listening and giving everybody the opportunity to express their needs and ideas. Activities are therefore developed with engagement of the communities.

 

Quality : Our quality is determined by the adherence to the use of evidence-based standards and the satisfaction of the people we serve. We learn from our activities and improve continuously, through monitoring and evaluating the activities and through actively seeking feedback from the communities and our partners.

 

Accountability : Our accountability is demonstrated by sharing accurate and transparent information about our activities, funding, and internal processes, whereby we communicate challenges, adjustments made and feedback we received. Our annual activity reports are available to the public on our website and on request.

 

Supportive :  As an organisation we emphasize helping and assisting people in our community, our own organization, and our partners to achieve the best possible performance in a healthy and encouraging working environment.

 

Reliability :  We can be trusted to ensure a consistent high-quality work.
