To globalize equality, Inter Pares collaborates with people and organizations who are dedicated to building more just societies and creating positive change.
Understand how we globalize equality by reading some of our most recent program updates.
At the heart of the collaboration with our counterparts lies the profound belief in the equality of all people.
We do not have overseas offices in the countries where we work. Instead we choose to support organizations and activists working in their own countries to confront injustice, helping them strengthen their work and increase their impact as we also learn from them. These collaborations are not one-way “helping” relationships, but a two-way collaborative relationship.
Internally, full-time staff are co-managers, managing the institution through consensus-based decision making. Though everyone plays a different role, they share equal responsibilities, equal participation in decision making and an equal base salary.
All full-time staff collaborate in raising funds and are involved in the programming and financial management of the organization, assuring a high degree of transparency, cohesion and rigour.
Inter Pares’ social justice work is an expression of the values shared by many Canadians: peace, justice, equality, human dignity and international solidarity. Thousands of Canadians express these values by getting involved with our work or by making a donation to Inter Pares.
As a member of the Canadian Council for International Cooperation (CCIC), Inter Pares is in compliance with the CCIC Code of Ethics. The Code sets out the vision, ethical principles, and standards that guide CCIC members’ activities.
