Democracy and community developmentGeneral Information
IM is an independent, member based development organisation fighting and exposing poverty and exclusion. The organisation was founded in 1938. We work globally in collaboration with local partners to enable people to lift themselves out of poverty and exclusion through their own efforts. We strive for a sustainable world, based on international human rights standards, and we reject all forms of discrimination. IM also works in Sweden, focusing on integration and inclusion into society. The strengthening of civil society is both a means and an objective in all activities.Mission and Objectives

https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.i… we do - IM (imsweden.org) IM is a development organisation that fights for a humane world free from poverty and exclusion. Together with partners, we work for equal and democratic societies where everyone can enjoy their rights and where no one is left behind. We are convinced that people can create change on their own if they have the right conditions. Our work takes place at all levels in society to create socially, economically and climate-sustainable solutions. The work also aims to meet several of the Global Goals for sustainable development. Development cooperation At the global level, IM works with long-term development cooperation with the aim of combating poverty and exclusion. This is done, among other things, by strengthening people both economically and socially, but also by working for strong civil societies where people can make their voices heard. Integration In Sweden, IM works for human rights with a special focus on integration. Our goal is for people who are new to Sweden to be able to be included in society, both socially and economically and without being met by racism or discrimination. We also work for a more friendly social climate based on understanding and respect.Why do you want to join the ALF Network?
We would like to broaden our network with local, national och international actors working with similar issues that we do in Gothenburg; integration, participation (local democracy) and human rights in order to exchange experience and knowledge. Depending on the outcome of our membership (as IM Lokalföreningen Göteborg), Individuell Människohjälp (national organisation) will consider a full membership.
