WHAT WE DO

Our world faces daunting challenges: economic inequality, political polarization, and climate crises driven by structural imbalances that disproportionately affect communities in the global South.

At Fundación Avina, we focus on identifying opportunities to promote systemic changes in the midst of these complex realities. We bring together allies to collaborate on structural solutions that will lead to a lasting impact.

STRATEGIC PILLARS

We create impact by focusing on three pillars of sustainable development.

CLIMATE ACTION

We promote the transition to climate resilience and decarbonization by improving sustainable management of natural resources and reducing social inequalities.

DEMOCRATIC INNOVATION

 

Strengthening democratic institutions and ensuring the conditions for dignified lives through participatory democracy.

 

JUST AND REGENERATIVE ECONOMY

 

We seek to transform key economic sectors to foster wealth and value creation while prioritizing care for natural resources and human dignity.

 

PROGRAMS

Our strategic pillars cut across all six of our program areas.

WATER

We aim to guarantee the right to safe water through democratic governance, with an emphasis on community water management and citizen participation.

BIOMES

We collaborate with stakeholders to improve sustainable land management and quality of life for local populations that live in and care for biomes.

CLIMATE

We accelerate climate action across Latin America and the global South through an inclusive, participatory, and collaborative approach.

DEMOCRACIES

We promote democratic models to reduce power asymmetries, ensuring that vulnerable populations and communities participate in and influence the decisions that affect their lives.

INCLUSIVE CIRCULAR ECONOMY

We promote economic development that strengthens urban resilience while addressing environmental challenges and social inequalities, with a focus on inclusion and economic justice through circular value chains.

LABOR INNOVATION

We create the conditions to guarantee decent work, characterized by inclusive, equal, and non-discriminatory practices, for all people.
