Social Mobilization
COSAN entrusts social mobilization primarily as a mechanism of empowerment that enables people for action. We believe in working with community members to develop social structures based on government policies and to capacitate them so that they run independently beyond the project tenure.
Community Participation
COSAN has learned that community participation and contribution are essential for successful implementation of projects and for sustainable development. It therefore ensures active involvement of community members, women’s groups and other relevant community organizations while implementing projects and its activities at the local level.
Gender and Social Inclusion
COSAN believes that development can be possible by including marginalized people in the mainstream development process. It strives to create an environment conducive for the inclusion of excluded groups in political, social and economic process of the country.
Partnership and Collaboration
COSAN works with a wide variety of partners and advocates for excellence and quality services by all partners. We believe in meaningful and responsible partnership with development partners, government agencies, civil society organizations and different community based user groups. Similarly, COSAN prioritizes partnership with corporate organizations for sustainable development by means of corporate social responsibility.
Rights Based Approach
COSAN adopts rights-based approach to respond to identified problems.
