When we speak of development, we refer to the self-development of people and their communities. Development is not a project to be managed, or a problem to be solved with the knowledge and power of others. It is a process in which people act together, make political and economic choices together, and struggle for autonomy and emancipation.

Inter Pares is committed to ensuring clear, transparent, and positive contact with our donors. All staff members share a collective responsibility to ensure that our supporters’ donations are used well.

In 2019, Inter Pares' total expenses amounted to $6,125,203. Close to 70% of Inter Pares’ total expenses are funds sent to social justice counterparts working in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Canada.
