During the 5 years’ program period the alliance aims to increase ownership of the program by local CSOs. The program is funded by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs under the “Power of Voices” framework. 

Water is life, and today it is scarcer than ever before. Worldwide, 2.2 billion people lack access to safe drinking water services, and 4.2 billion lack safe sanitation services. The outlook is aggravated by the global health, inequality, climate, environmental, and economic crises.  

The objective of the audit of the Financial Statement (FS) is to enable the auditor to express an independent opinion on the financial performance of the activities undertaken by Fundación Avina for funds received and expenditures under the readiness project “National Adaptation Planning in Peru” granted by the Green Climate Fund and managed by UNOPs; as well as an opinion on the Statement of Expenditures (SOE). 

The five-year strategic objective of the programme is “By 2025, local civil society groups have claimed a central role as empowered innovators, facilitators and advocates of climate solutions”. Our programme is about climate justice i.e. climate change is not only an environmental problem to be addressed but also a societal challenge with ethical and human rights aspects. Hence our intention is to build wide societal support for locally shaped climate solutions through an inclusive and rights-based approach. This includes building a broad-based climate alliance at country level, bridging divides (urban-rural, gender, youth), that amplifies voices in new, unusual ways.
