Diakonie Austria develops and promotes development cooperation projects with the aim of combating poverty and enabling sustainable improvements in the living standards of people from the so-called ‘Third World’ countries. Our work focuses on the key areas of; people with disabilities, training and education and conflict management within civil society.
Diakonie Austria projects aim to strengthen the independence and enterprise of the beneficiaries. For this reason, all projects are developed and implemented in cooperation with a local partner organisation. We see the people who live in and work on our projects as equal partners, with whom we share an on-going and mutual learning process. In this way, the long-term sustainability of the projects is assured.
We strive towards a fairer world. In crisis regions, this means that we engage to support organisations facilitating dialogue between parties from opposing sides of a conflict.
