The vision that we will strive towards from 2005 to 2009:
The poor living in the former homelands of the Eastern Cape act decisively to improve their living standards through rights-based development. Such development is characterised by the following:
- Resources are brokered and leveraged in such a way that they are secured at local level.
- Planning and implementation is integrated (amongst other things, infrastructure and economic interventions must be complimentary).
- Local institutions take charge of planning and implementation processes.
The "Our Vision" section outlines the core components of BRC’s vision of rights-based rural development. In this section we explore the way in which BRC will seek to realise this vision. In short, we establish BRC’s mission for the upcoming period. We do this by identifying core institutional roles and approaches.
The mission of the organisation for the forthcoming period is summarised as follows:
In order to realise the vision, BRC will:
- advocate for enhanced resource flows into the former homelands,
- manage and facilitate processes of pro-poor development, and
- achieve policy impact to extend and replicate the benefits of project successes.
The organisation will deliver this work though a value-driven and balanced institutional approach that seeks to:
- maximise accountability to communities,
- ensure a high level of service through utilising various mechanisms for delivery (staff, partnerships and outsourcing),
- harness the capacities of civil society, and
- realise a critical partnership with government
