Database Operator Pact

Pact is an International non-governmental organization, which enables systematic solutions that allows those who are poor and marginalized to earn a dignified living be healthy and take part in the benefits that nature provides.

Pact accomplishes this by strengthening local capacity, forging effective governance systems and transforming markets into a force for development.

Our three core values are:

Local Solutions — Our success comes from solutions created with the people we serve.

Partnerships — Partnerships deepen our impact and promote empowerment.

Results — Our work must transform lives and make them measurably better. How that change occurs is as important as the change itself. Pact envisions a world where those who are poor and marginalized exercise their voice, buiLd their own solutions, and take ownership over their future.
