Values and guiding principles
The AIGDD’s principles provide a framework for the conduct of operations, the exercise of responsibilities, the use of resources and relations with institutions, partners and stakeholders.
The AIGDD’s principles provide a framework for carrying out missions, fulfilling responsibilities, utilising resources and managing relations with institutions, partners and stakeholders. They apply throughout the entire intervention cycle and guide both methods and decision-making.
Performance
Interventions are organised around specific objectives, measurable outcomes and appropriate indicators. Effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability are assessed in order to inform decisions and guide any necessary adjustments.
Methodological rigour
The analyses, systems and tools are based on structured, documented methods that are tailored to the context. This requirement ensures consistency between the initial decisions, the resources allocated, the implementation and the assessment of the results.
Transparency
Decision-making processes, commitments and the resources mobilised are subject to appropriate traceability. Information that may be shared is communicated to authorised stakeholders in accordance with the applicable rules.
Responsibility and accountability
Responsibilities are established at the scoping stage and monitored throughout implementation. The AIGDD reports on the tasks assigned, the resources deployed, the results achieved and the constraints encountered, whilst complying with the relevant mandates and authorised levels of disclosure.
Integrity
Assignments are carried out in accordance with the principles of impartiality, confidentiality, professional standards and the prevention of conflicts of interest. Analyses and decisions are documented in order to ensure the reliability of our work and maintain the trust of our stakeholders.
Participation
The relevant institutions, partners and stakeholders are involved in the appropriate stages of design, implementation and evaluation, in accordance with their respective responsibilities. Their contributions inform the trade-offs, adjustments and assessment of results.
Inclusion
Where the context so requires, the measures take into account the circumstances of women, young people, vulnerable individuals and local areas, so that interventions remain consistent with the needs and constraints of the populations concerned.
Lifelong learning
Results, evaluations and lessons learnt are utilised to improve methods, rectify inadequate practices and gradually enhance the quality of future interventions.
These principles form a common framework for action: they enhance the quality of interventions without superseding the rules, standards and obligations specific to the institutions and programmes concerned.
