DEH

OUR MISSION

Enhance sustainable development in poor rural and urban communities.

Especially for the most under privileged groups by participating in promoting and encouraging a just, holistic, inter-disciplinary, integrated, multi-dimensional approach to sustainable development: development for Humanity.

OUR APPROACH

DEH focuses on priority dimensions of development for different actors as identified through participatory and state of the art research processes while integrating other dimensions as much as possible in the implementation of projects, programs and policies.

This approach promotes an active participation of target groups and a comprehensive attainment of development for individuals, groups and whole populations.

However, her activities are guided by the three dimensions of Sustainability: Economic viability, Environmental friendliness, and social acceptability.

OUR APPROACH

While engaging highly skilled, experienced and motivated staff, we consider the indigenous knowledge and local participation as key ingredients for sustainable development.

Gendered and active stakeholder participation is central to DEH's approach

OUR TARGET GROUP

Our target groups include whole communities, interest groups, governments, non-governmental and international organizations working to achieve the sustainable development goals, or who simply want a better life for humanity.

A special interest of DEH is to collaborate with organizations focusing on research and development, and developing and sustaining technologies with stakeholders. Of particular interest is the sustainability of socio-ecological systems in rapid climate change contexts.
