For Fundación Avina, the work to build a more sustainable, flourishing, democratic, and just world is inspired by its valuable diversity.

We strive to create the conditions for every person, regardless of their origin, age, gender, beliefs, background, or sector of society, to contribute, on equal footing, to building the solutions that the world needs.

The drive to instill this perspective across our entire institution has been a long journey. For several years, Fundación Avina has been engaged in a ongoing process to ensure that our commitment to integrating gender equity and diversity into our work is upheld at every level of the organization and will continue to be upheld over the long term.

We maintain this commitment through training and awareness-raising activities for our team, including workshops, talks, and knowledge materials designed to deepen our institution’s alignment with these principles.

In addition, the Gender and Diversity Committee created our Institutional Gender and Diversity Strategy, which entails an initial assessment, a conceptual framework, a series of guiding principles, indicators, and a blueprint for action. The indicators have been incorporated into our internal monitoring and evaluation systems. Furthermore, the Gender and Diversity Committee continues to lead onboarding processes for people joining the team and provides support to institutional communications and positioning efforts.

Our participation in regional events has also enabled us to share the contributions of our diverse allies to collaborative processes in a number of countries.
