JERA believes that projects can define and develop communities and should do more than orientate and provide strategies for a “place” – it should unlock the social, cultural, economic and environmental levers that will trigger investment and action. Any investment in infrastructure and program commitments that engages people ultimately enhances the social wellbeing, economic vitality and sustainability of themselves, their families and their communities.
From our broad knowledge, our experience working in many different communities and preliminary investigations JERA seeks the significant opportunities for change particularly around the ideas of recognising peoples’ rights, connecting community, leveraging existing assets and finding ways to create meaningful opportunities and sustainable futures for people and for them to reach their potential.
JERA’s cross-cutting initiatives span across the breadth of our program sectors to tackle the underlying causes of economic sustainability, and place special emphasis on working with women and girls in areas of peace and security to create lasting social change and to advance gender equality, develop life skills and create income-generating activities.
