Hivos

Overview

Hivos is an international organisation that seeks new solutions to persistent global issues. With smart projects in the right places, Hivos oppose discrimination, inequality, abuse of power and the unsustainable use of their planet’s resources. Counterbalance alone, however, is not enough. The primary focus is achieving structural change.
Hivos is active in two domains:
Open Society:
Their ideal world guarantees freedom, diversity and equal opportunities for all. Its societies are open to everyone and respectful of differing opinions. In the open society domain, we work on freedom and accountability; women’s empowerment; and sexual rights and diversity. The free exchange of information, freedom of expression and the ability of citizens to influence decisions that affect them are essential in an open society. Everyone should be able to be who they are, whether they are male, female, gay, straight. Moreover, everyone should have the freedom to believe and say what they want, to challenge governments and influence the established order. As one’s freedom only ends where another person’s freedom begins.

Green society:
Their ideal is a green world – a world in which people use natural resources sustainably and to the benefit of all. In our aim for more green societies, Hivos supports transitions towards renewable energy and diverse, resilient, fair and sustainable food systems. Hivos and its partners demonstrate that renewable energy is not a dream, but feasible and simply the best choice. Providing access to sufficient, affordable and healthy food to all, in particular for low-income consumers, can create substantial economic opportunities and generate positive environmental returns.
Open and green societies are interwoven: together they create a free, fair and sustainable world.
