Alternatives undertakes projects in Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, the Middle-East and Asia.
It supports the initiatives of social movements striving for the respect of their economic, social, political, and environmental rights. It assists individuals and communities living in poverty, discrimination, exploitation, and violence.
Above all, Alternatives supports the networking of such individuals, communities and social movements, because networking is primordial in allowing a comprehensive analysis and understanding of the essence of the problems at hand, and of their often foreign origin.
