Mission and Objectives

Our vision is of a society in which well-balanced and high quality development of local communities is secured for the benefit of all members and sectors, as well as for future generations. That means achieving changes in value systems (philanthropy), process (consultation) and mechanisms (partnerships between different sectors). ODRAZ is dedicated to bringing those changes about. Our vision is that ODRAZ becomes, not only an established and recognized institution, but also financially stable, with well educated and adequately trained and paid professionals, dedicated to delivering high quality results and to responding to the challenges and responsibilities of the future as well as those of today. Our mission is o motivate and strengthen initiatives in local communities through partnership in order to develop practical and appropriate ways for improving the local economy and environment.
