HEALTH

Promoting healthy lives and well-being for all is essential to sustainable development, as enshrined in Goal 3 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

GENDER EQUALITY AND SOCIAL INCLUSION

Understanding the links between gender equality & social inclusion and peace, stability, accountability & prosperity is fundamental to Integrity’s work.

CLIMATE SECURITY

Climate change and biodiversity loss is one of the greatest risks to human security, from the community right through to the global level.

FRAGILITY AND VIOLENT CONFLICT

The challenges of working in fragile and conflict-affected environments and preventing further conflict are of growing importance.

HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE

In the fast-paced, high-pressure context of a humanitarian crisis-where saving lives and supporting stability is of paramount importance, decision-makers and implementers need timely, quality, context-aware and conflict-sensitive information.

EDUCATION

Education fosters decision making skills and critical thinking. It prepares and enables individuals to play a positive and constructive role within society.

ECONOMIC GROWTH

Sustainable and inclusive economic growth empowers communities, generates livelihoods, reduces poverty, and increases stability and social investment.

AID EFFECTIVENESS

Effective aid programmes require careful forethought and coherence of approach.

SECURITY AND JUSTICE

Reform of security and justice provision is about three priorities: strengthening institutional accountability, improving service delivery efficiency, and building demand-side capacity to articulate local safety and security needs.

CIVIL SOCIETY

Governments and donors increasingly rely on civil society groups to provide services, and support social cohesion.

MIGRATION, DISPLACEMENT & SLAVERY

People leave their communities for diverse reasons including environmental changes, poverty and inequality, conflict and the search for better livelihoods.

GOVERNANCE

Governance matters, especially in fragile contexts. Formal and informal institutions – rules, norms, behaviours and practices – define how, and for whose benefit, decisions are made.

MEDIA

Social media and digital and mobile communications have transformed public discourse.
