Vision

Amel's vision for a sustainable and durable development is based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) stated in United Nations resolution 55/2, on 8 September 2000.

The sustainable development of the Lebanese society is intrinsically linked to the respect and implementation of human, economic, social and political rights altogether. Indeed, durable development can only be an efficient and viable process empowering underprivileged women and men, by providing them the appropriate means including capacity building, in order to improve their living conditions. This principle also implies solidarity and commitment on behalf of the international community, mutual respect as well as fair North and South partnership.

Gender equality, the participation of Youth in community life, Human Rights promotion as well as the principle of good governance are core values as well as essential conditions to attain sustainable development and reach the MDG.

Objectives

Amel's objectives are:

• To promote the social, economic, political and cultural rights of the disadvantaged in Lebanon
• To contribute to the to building of a strong and responsible civil society in order to strengthen national unity and promote democratic values and social justice
