PRINCIPLES .....

.... arising from knowledge of situations that are not acceptable. From this perspective, the establishment of this association, only the result of the realization that it in the 21first century can not address , there are still countries where the illiteracy rate is 60%. (Source: Federal Foreign Office 2008)

Alleviate this condition has the club FBiG eV for the small country Gambia made, where the illiteracy rate is at 59.9%, according to the Foreign Office. For roads, the federal government gave in 2004 in this country of 44 million €, (which incidentally is mainly spent in the area within which the tourists, but the roads into the interior that have a sustainable recovery desperately needed, are not affected) but the means for cross-aids were removed, just run this year (2006) from the only relief project to curb the spread of the desert, without replacement. Private initiatives are trying to prevent this.

Based on the following principles, we want to work in FBiG Association:

On the level of communication ...

.... We attach importance to openness and accessibility of all activities and services for interested people. We pick up new ideas and initiatives from the environment and build the FBiG eV as a lively forum for development prospects in the Gambia.

Acceptance and repression of freedom are the basic pattern of exchanging ideas and opinions. As a result, we come vereinsintern, to the people and partner organizations to clear contracts traded in terms of performance agreements.

We feel obligated to the public and ensure in all areas of the Association for transparency.

At the organizational level, and cooperation ...

.... We are working on the basis of involvement and participation. Structures of administration have again and again checked for their acceptability and suitability to be invited to help shape the contemporary spoken. We think it important to retain even outside of professional management and program activity room for self-enterprising group work or even newly created.

professional team work ...

.... We rely on collegial structures, will be encouraged away from hierarchical structures in which a lively exchange and assistance in their daily work. Differentiated levels of communication (range planning, management team, supervision) and division of labor between different areas of work complement those structures. It is important to us, by anchoring an organizational (permanent adjustment of objectives, resources, structures and operational results, the sensitivity of current developments in our relief work mainly). Through training we qualify for this process.

At the level of programming ...

.... We are working with a non profit orientation. By this we mean a primacy of content over economic goals, returns. Nevertheless, we attach great importance to increase our margins through economic action.

Low offers easier access. We offer the cost-income participation in the offerings of the Association FBiG By targeting, we strengthen this approach for certain age groups. The binding substance and direction of program development activities, we are in the various disciplines represented in the team skills and working approaches this book.

For specific projects we are looking beyond the co-operation with professionals. The overall picture of the program is characterized by maintaining a differentiated sectoral range of thematic priorities, innovative approaches are introduced into the socio-cultural work. In addition, we consider when planning cross-cultural and intergenerational relationships. With these concepts, we combine the task of promoting multi-ethnic society in a peaceful dialogue between different cultures and bring it in view of decaying generation ties the different cultural perspectives of individual generations in a common focus.
