A NEW GAZE by Giampaolo Silvestri Secretary-General of AVSI Foundation
Creating development and making it shareable by as many people as possible, in difficult, unsafe, emergency environments. Keeping the person at the center of every intervention, protagonist of their own story. That’s the tough challenge AVSI intends to address in a future with major changes in sight for the world of development cooperation.
2013 has been a year of profound transformations for AVSI: new strategies, new projects, new partners and a new governance. Since July 2013 most of the board of directors has been renewed, including the President and the Secretary-General, and eminent and experienced persons have joined the board. These new members will certainly help strengthen AVSI’s identity and provide solid grounds to meet the challenges of the future with even greater vigor. The organization chart has been modified and simplified, new positions have been created, others have been redesigned in order to optimize the operational stage of our work, the one in the field, in contact with the people and their needs. The collaboration with the European Union has become paramount: the EU is an important player when it comes to cooperation policies, and its projects represent an essential component of AVSI’s work nowadays. Within the relationship between AVSI and the private for-profit sector, the partnerships have grown in number and stature over the last year. Our experiences of synergy in action, some of which have now been going on for more than a decade, represent success stories to replicate, concrete chances of development. AVSI has shown an ongoing commitment in education and nutrition projects, as well as in new areas, such as energy and human rights. From the “stoves project”, as we nicknamed the distribution of 15 thousand high-energy efficiency cooking stoves in Mozambique, to supporting the APACs, one of the best cases of human rights promotion in Brazil, aimed to improve the living conditions of detainees. These correctional facilities with no guards or weapons became a model of an efficient, practical and more humane method. They represent such a great improvement
that Brazilian authorities decided to adopt that method in every state of the federation. It might work in Italy, as well, and contribute to a more humane detention regime: we have tried to propose it to the Senate, the Secretary and the Commission, following the great appreciation at the European Development Days in Brussels. 2013 has been a year of emergencies and refugee crisis. Lives changed by the terrible events of war in Syria, South Sudan, Myanmar, DR of the Congo or by the destructive force of the typhoon in the Philippines. These people are often forced to start again somewhere else, away from home, often without a roof on their head, food and education for their children. AVSI has been on the frontline in supporting those affected by conflicts and in providing rescue and shelter to the refugees, starting from Lebanon and Jordan, crucial countries for the Syrian migrations, where we plan on providing shelter for 33 thousand people. We are on the verge of a new vision of cooperation. Attention has shifted from the Millennium Goals to the Rio+20 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals have made climate change a priority. A new model is taking shape in which development must be sustainable and the economic value of locally operating companies must be shared. The financial and economic crisis has caused a change that would have been inevitable anyway. From the oldfashioned concept of “donation” to complex projects that can bring long-term benefits, the step has long been taken. Today, in order to bring employment and growth in the most vulnerable environments, the European Union (re) discovers the importance of loans (though mixed with donations) and synergy between the public, the private and the not-for-profit sectors. In a time when the public slice of development aid represents the minority, the for-profit private sector necessarily becomes a protagonist of global development strategy making, an essential player in the fight on poverty. This does not imply that the role of civil society organizations must be downsized. Quite the opposite, in fact. That last mile between common effort and single person that we have been trying to cover with our work for years now takes on a new meaning. We are given an additional task, that of bridging the gap between communities, enterprises and public authorities, with the purpose of creating value that can be shared by everybody. We will do so with our deep knowledge of needs and countries, in order to keep the person and their dignity as a human being at the center, so that the person can be the protagonist of their own development.

IDENTITY AND VALUES THE MISSION OF AVSI FOUNDATION IS TO PROMOTE THE DIGNITY OF THE PERSON THROUGH DEVELOPMENT COOPERATION ACTIVITIES, WITH SPECIAL ATTENTION TO EDUCATION, ACCORDING TO THE SOCIAL TEACHING OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. AVSI is a non-governmental organization (Onlus) founded in 1972 and currently operating in Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, Eastern Europe, Middle East, Asia on several areas of intervention with a network of over 60 organizations. This is an informal network of private social welfare institutions that work together to carry out projects and to promote reflection on development issues by sharing methods and experiences. The network includes founding members as well as partners. AVSI has been recognized since 1973 by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a non-governmental organization for international cooperation (NGO); it is registered as an International Organization with the Agency for International Development of the United States (USAID) and has held General Consultative status with the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) since 1996 and UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) both in New York; it is an accredited participant in the United Nations Organization for Industrial Development (UNIDO) based in Vienna; it is included in the special list of non-governmental organizations of the UN International Labor Organization (ILO) based in Geneva; it is part of the UN Global Compact; it is officially listed as a not-for-profit entity eligible for pre-tax donations as per the Italian law “5 per 1000”; it is affiliated to CDO Opere Sociali; AVSI is licensed by the Italian government for international adoptions.
Learning organization In order to address the challenges of this time of change, which brings crisis but also great potentials for the “base of the pyramid”, AVSI has decided to raise staff awareness at all levels on the need to learn from experience, to value the best practices and to understand the causes of failure. To this purpose, AVSI has created a system of focal points, a system of permanent training through webinars and meetings, and has strengthened its intranet platform. The method is about learning from experience, sharing and expressing a judgment, which is a process managed by the Knowledge Center.
Certification, quality and transparency AVSI’s financial statement is audited by one of the most prominent auditors and is published on its website. AVSI is also certified UNI EN ISO 9001:2008 for development cooperation and aid in collaboration and to the benefit of the major institutional, national and international donors.
Last mile
AVSI’s guiding values AVSI’s view is that the challenge of development is about allowing the person to latch on to services that match the real needs. As this link inevitably depends upon personal initiative, it proves to be the point of weakness for those who are most vulnerable and living in informal areas, cut off from the system. AVSI calls this connection “the last mile”, fundamental to bridge the gap between the person and the infrastructure. The need arises, then, to strengthen civil society organizations through THE PERSON projects that are AT THE CENTER focused on the person The person is seen as so that the individual, a unique being in their once educated, fundamental relationships, becomes the family and society. The person protagonist of his or cannot be reduced to a social her own development. category or a limitation
such as poverty, disease, disability or war.

DOING WITH Starting from a relationship with the people to whom the project is directed and building with them along their path to development.
DEVELOPMENT OF CIVIL SOCIETY AND SUBSIDIARITY Development projects must favor association, acknowledge and value the establishment of intermediate bodies along with responsible and engaged social fabric. The implementation of development projects means to facilitate the associative abilities, to acknowledge the role of civil society and of a social fabric nurtured by involvement and joint responsibility.
PARTNERSHIP Creation of partnerships among all the actors in the field in order to facilitate synergy and optimize available resources.

EU AFFAIRS
in Europe for the world
In 2013 AVSI increased its involvement within the European institutions, paying special attention to some areas.
Human rights
The role of civil society organizations both at the local level and in Europe The support to these organizations: in a perspective of authentic subsidiarity, they can contribute to the decision-making process and the control of government action, by virtue of their commitment to addressing the real needs of people (healthcare, nutrition, education, work…). AVSI contributed to the report on civil society organizations and local authorities that was written by the European Parliament Committee on Development; it interacted with the European Commission and the European Service of External Action within the new timeline 2014-2015. In particular, AVSI set up an event on May 14th, at the European Economic and Social Committee in Brussels: the event was called “The last mile”. On that occasion, Rose Busingye presented the personal and revolutionary experience of the women with AIDS of the Meeting Point International based in Kampala, Uganda.
Nutrition, food security, agriculture Experience in the field shows that hunger is often found in contexts where just a bit more effort would ensure food availability and that actions based on education achieve surprising and sustainable results. AVSI took part in the consultations and in the experts group of the European Commission and set forth an approach where personal dignity serves as a motivational drive to practice agriculture in order to feed oneself, one’s children and one’s community.
Consistent with its own guiding principles – valuing the positive and drawing attention to the best practices and the positive examples – AVSI promoted the model of the APACs in Brazil (an alternative correctional system supported by AVSI through European projects, too). The model was presented on November 26 within the European Development Days (organized by DG DEVCO-EuropeAid, which is the European Commission Development Cooperation Directorate) in collaboration with the EU delegation to Brazil, and was the only event promoted by an Italian organization; the purpose was to present an innovative method that can be replicated in other countries and contexts and that addresses an urgent need within Europe as well.
Post-2015 Agenda With a view to 2014, an extremely important year for the European Union, and in consideration of the new Millennium Development Goals, AVSI contributed to the debate on the Post-2015 Development Agenda with a number of documents and by actively participating in meetings, conferences and consultations: the debate focused on development cooperation and its implementation – for instance how financial support to third countries (one of the major tools employed by the European development cooperation) can really benefit the population – and how involvement of the private sector within genuine corporate social responsibility can serve as a prominent and positive factor of development.
New framework agreement for humanitarian aid (ECHO FPA) In light of its ongoing involvement in the Democratic Republic of the Congo as well as in Lebanon and Jordan with activities to help the Syrian refugees, AVSI joined an NGOs work group on the framework agreement which called for simpler and more flexible ways to promptly and adequately address emergencies.

The social and educational field is the largest for AVSI Foundation. It includes activities of sheltering, family support, education, childhood care and protection, civil society organizations and solidarity networks support, restoration of intra-community relations in conditions of vulnerability and post-war scenarios, and special attention to people with disabilities. The person is at the center of these activities, along with their family and community network. A special focus is addressed to educational interventions: pre-school education, school education, informal education, vocational training. These activities fall within the frame of “education for all”. AVSI’s approach to education revolves around the unique and unrepeatable value of every person, the importance of the educator whose task is to maintain a proactive relationship with children, educational quality, a crucial point for all mankind: as 38% of compulsory school children do not acquire basic education. In collaboration with the Kampala PCE, Permanent Center for Education, AVSI contributes to the training of educators in a number of African countries, and to the qualification of some private not-for-profit schools in Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Kenya, Uganda, Lebanon, Palestine. It also favors the schooling of vulnerable children through a so-called holistic approach that is not focused on performance, but on enhancement of everyone’s talents.
highlights EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION: about 10,000 children • nursery schools: in Brazil, Kenya, Nigeria, Sierra Leone; • home-based preschool program in Ecuador PelCa Program - Prescolar en la Casa; • protected areas and centers for children in refugee and emergency camps in the DRC and Rwanda. PRIMARY & SECONDARY EDUCATION: over 20,000 children and adolescents • school management support in Sierra Leone, Kenya, Nigeria, Uganda; • educational interventions (DSP – Distance Support Program, school vouchers…). INFORMAL EDUCATION: over 20,000 children and adolescents • afterschool program with academic and recreational activities (Ivory Coast, Uganda, Albania, Mozambique, Mexico, Haiti, Ecuador, Argentina, Burundi, Myanmar, South Sudan). VOCATIONAL AND TRAINING SCHOOLS: over 5,000 youth • Brazil, Haiti, Peru, Uganda, South Sudan, Kenya, Mozambique, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda. TRAINING FOR EDUCATORS: (present within other programs/sectors): • advanced centers of excellence: PCE Uganda and other countries, e.g. Albania (SHIS); • significant projects: Mexico (CEI), Palestine (Custody of the Holy Land), Lebanon (CEI), Kenya (Dadaab refugee camp). EDUCATION IN EMERGENCY: • school renovation, protected spaces for children in Burundi, Democratic Republic of the Congo; • psychosocial resilience in South Sudan, Haiti, Rwanda, Northern Uganda.

distance support program
Distance Support is a way to share knowledge and experiences through a constant and continuous contribution made by an individual, a family, a groups of friends, a company and so on and directed to a child, an adolescent or a community. The children included in the Distance Support Program are provided with food, medical and health care, schooling as well as recreational and educational activities. The distinctive feature of the personalized distance support program is the educational support that ensures the delivery of material as well as the presence of adults as guides for the children. The activities also involve their families and communities, so that they become a factor of economic development and change for the society around them.

AVSI educators or staff from partner organizations guide and support them through all the services included in the program: payment of school fees, purchase of school supplies, medical care, food aid, afterschool and recreational activities. Upon registration, the sponsor is given name and photograph of one of the children along with the description of the context and the project. Once a year, the sponsor receives a document that shows the activities carried out and tells the stories of the little protagonists, their difficulties and achievements.

Throughout all of AVSI’s projects, human rights stay at the core of our concerns. AVSI’s mission, in fact, is to promote the dignity of the person through development cooperation activities with special attention to children (food, family, education) and vulnerable people (the poor, the sick and disabled, the refugees). The purpose of human rights is the promotion of the person in its entirety. When some specific conditions, (war, violence, poverty or sickness) infringes human rights, the approach of the intervention should be global and not fragmented into social groups and classes.
highlights APACs: alternative prison – recidivism rate under 15% - human dignity Brazil: The “Além dos muros (Beyond the Walls)” program, developed with the APACs (Associations for Protection and Assistance of Prisoners, not-for-profit entities from civil society with 40 years of experience), is intended to make prison conditions more humane, by promoting human rights and using alternative correctional facilities. EDUCATIONAL AND PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES: 970 youth Haiti: 970 youth over the last 6 years. Educational and professional activities for adolescents involved with armed gangs, starting from their desire of a better life. Post War RECONCILIATION Ivory Coast: common paths, reinforcement of democracy within civil society for a debate in favor of 4,500 people (farmers and breeders) and involvement of over 4,000 Abobo youth. CHILDHOOD PROTECTION Burundi: child labor prevention through schooling programs, from school reintegration to literacy and training programs. Community awareness activities; reinforcement of civil society; meetings and information sessions on children’s rights. Juvenile legal aid.

As far as agriculture is concerned, the good news is that the Earth can provide food for all. The bad news is that in order to produce that food, we need to change the way we practice agriculture, or the environmental impact would be unsustainable. As of today, agriculture is the cause of 14% of greenhouse emissions. This notwithstanding, almost 10,000 children die of hunger-related causes every day. Today, the International community devotes a great deal of attention to the stunting, severe malnutrition that affects the normal development of the child; it affects over 165 million children under the age of 5, thereby showing that the crucial point is not only access to food, but also the level of nutrition provided. Therefore, interventions in the agricultural and nutritional sector are needed to sustainably address this demand for food items. AVSI works on a wide range of projects: from nutrition centers to rural development, from training schools to supply chain projects, to food security interventions in emergency response. As far as the nutritional aspect is concerned, AVSI’s method is primarily educational, focused on the mothers and the community. Breast-feeding, focus on the early 1,000 days, pilot intervention to produce fortified food items for the stages of weaning and early childhood. In agriculture, the interventions are still focused on the nutritional aspect, but they also significantly address the need for technical and farming training, through the farmer field schools. Eventually, some interventions on supply chain reinforcement: cassava, cacao, rice, vegetables. Such experiences contribute to the debate about the EXPO 2015 topic “Feed the planet, energy for life”.

highlights Mozambique: 7,000 families had their traditional cooking stoves replaced with 15,000 low-impact cooking stoves with an 80% reduction in CO2 and a 50% reduction of home coal consumption, with a saving of 15 $ a month per family. Haiti towards EXPO 2015 with Rotary, EU, IDB and private donors: support to a rural community of more than 10,000 people for water, training, supply chains, technology, reforestation, climate change, carbon credits.
To AVSI, the challenge is about re-establishing what Pope Benedict XVI has called “the alliance between man and nature�, because energy dependence can decrease if energy need is reduced through energy saving and resource efficiency policies, activities and interventions. AVSI has an operational partnership with a number of companies to improve energy supply efficiency, and access to renewable energy on the part of the poorer communities.
Brazil: energy efficiency for 134 communities and 240,000 families, training and assistance with NeoEnergia Group, Celpe, Coelba.

highlights
AVSI intervenes in chronic crises, conflict and post-conflict, never losing contact with all the local actors. Living conditions of vulnerable people in emergency situations can get even worse. AVSI’s interventions are conceived to limit the consequences of these breakdowns, by taking action on healthcare, infrastructures, education and family income generation. AVSI’s approach is to rebuild the human starting from the affirmation of life notwithstanding the emergency.
Democratic Republic of the Congo: post-conflict refugee emergency, nutrition, agricultural aid, education and protection of children and adolescents in North and South Kivu. Kenya: education in the Dadaab refugee camp, schooling for 4,700 children and adolescents and training of 350 teachers and educators. Haiti: emergency and childhood support in the informal settlements of Port-au-Prince, to the benefit of 3,000 children from 5 to 16 years of age.

PARTNERSHIP WITH THE PRIVATE SECTOR AND CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
MAJOR DONORS Assiteca supports AVSI in South Sudan on the educational emergency: it sponsors the construction of two schools and a teacher training center.
The complexity of the challenges of sustainable development and of humanitarian aid in the world calls for a wider involvement of all the actors affected. This is where the public sector, the private sector and civil society should be brought to bear together. To AVSI, the enterprise is a crucial factor for development per se as it generates employment, income and knowledge. In order to create shared value between businesses and society, a strong interdependence is necessary. The principal actor of every action and strategy of corporate social responsibility (CSR) has to be the person. The person becomes the protagonist of the development process when they are directly involved in the initiatives. In the emerging or developing contexts, the involvement of the so-called “base of the pyramid” - the poor and vulnerable people – is a crucial element as it represents a more and more relevant part of society. AVSI’s experiences can be grouped into two categories: interventions in partnership with companies in a certain area where they operate or have core business -related interests;
initiatives carried out in areas where companies have no specific interests.
In Italy, AVSI promotes CSR and fundraising activities through a network of incredibly involved volunteers (AVSI Points). The final goal is to maximize the creation of shared value between businesses and society through the development of products or services to address social needs or the participation in the development process.
