Vision, mission
and strategy
The LED is committed to sustainable and equitable development. Its work is based on a clear vision, a unifying mission and a strategic direction that defines the areas in which it concentrates its efforts. Together, these form the framework for the LED’s projects and partnerships.
Vision
The LED believes that sustainable development is possible if people are given access to education, income and social participation and if the ecological foundations of life are protected.
Mission
The LED connects people, knowledge and resources in order to solve challenges such as food insecurity and unemployment together with local partners. Its mission is to empower people in their own contexts to build prospects for the future and strengthen vital structures.
The LED’s current strategy focuses its activities on two
key areas:
- The promotion of sustainable food systems with a focus on agroecological approaches.
- Strengthening vocational training and employability so that young people and disadvantaged groups have better opportunities in the labor market.
By focusing on these two areas, the LED aims to achieve the greatest possible long-term impact with limited resources. The strategy is based on the goals of the 2030 Agenda.
