Mission, Vision & Principles
IIJD Mission, Vision, and Guiding Principles
Mission Statement
The International Institute for Justice and Development (IIJD), Inc is an international, non-partisan, independent consulting and educational non profit organization. Founded in 2001 to promote the principles of democratic governance and the Rule of Law for all people nationally and internationally, IIJD focuses on the underlying causes of poverty, development crisis, and seeks to address the startling weaknesses often found in the development field. The mission of the International Institute for Justice and Development is to promote justice and provide innovative development solutions for long-lasting positive change in poor communities and developing nations by:
• Reforming institutions, laws, policies, and customs that trap people in poverty;
• Dismantling systemic barriers that paralyze the ingenuity of people;
• Building local capacity and aggressively incorporating stakeholders in decision-making and program design and
  implementation; and
• Working with disadvantaged and poor communities to help solve their self-defined social, economic, political, ecological, and
  other day-to-day living challenges.
In fulfilling its mission, IIJD engages in the following activities:
• Provide consulting services, technical advice and services to businesses, government’s agencies, public and private institutions, and civil society groups worldwide;
• Organize conference, seminars, symposium on Global Justice and Development issues, on national and international
  policies in attainment of peace and security among and within communities and nations of the world;
• Conduct research and analysis, studies and evaluations, identify and design technical assistance, and implement programs
  to promote Justice and development worldwide.
Vision Statement
• We believe in our corporation values and pledge to deliver the best technical and managerial excellence, communicate
  directly; foster teamwork and most of all respect ourselves, our partners, and people we serve.
• We believe that poverty and underdevelopment need to be addressed through a comprehensive approach, combining
  institutional development and/or reform, infrastructure and Capacity building and assistance for needy groups. This
  combination is reflected through IIJD programs.
• We firmly believe that a functioning democracy requires strong institutions, a well designed legal structure, an independent
  judiciary, a vibrant private sector operating in a transparent environment, and most importantly, leadership committed to
  practicing democratic governance and respecting human dignity.
• We believe in the importance of diversity. Individuals with diverse educational and cultural backgrounds manage the
  corporation. Our recruiting process and project staffing reach out to tap not only U.S. and European professionals, but also
  specialists based in developing and transitional countries. Diversity brings a myriad of perspectives that are critical to
  innovation and creative problem-solving.
• We believe that equity in opportunity leads to peace and prosperity. IIJD’s philosophy is to contribute in establishing an
  environment conducive to human, economic and social development. By building the capacity of local NGOs and
  strengthening their ability to provide assistance and promote opportunity for the forgotten, poor and under-served
  populations. IIJD’s staff, chapters and regional representations are committed to helping communities and families solve
  their self-defined day-to-day living problems in ways that are sustainable, practical and self-reliant.
• We believe that significant development to countries’ legal framework and the creation of transparent, independent, reliable
  and accessible judicial systems is necessary for substantial economic, social, political and human development.
• We believe in reforming institutions, helping and empowering individuals and communities. Hands-on community
  involvement results in more effective, practical, accessible, and sustainable programs that translate into better and dignified
  lives for the populations we serve. Our approach builds local capacity and aggressively incorporates stakeholders in
  decision-making and program design and implementation.
• We believe that urgent problems must be met with solutions that remain viable and withstand the test of time. Our programs
  and activities bring hope and build sustainability through participation and ownership.
• We believe in delivering innovative, sensitive, practical solutions. In addition, we develop long-term, multi-project
  relationships with other government and nongovernmental organizations, research institutions, and universities that share
  our development goals, principles, and commitment for a better and a safer world.
Our vision is a world where every human being’s basic needs are fulfilled every day and where the principles of justice and equity are respected. We believe that a world where justice prevails is a world always in peace. We also envision a world where governments embrace the needs and welfare of their citizens, so that all may live in dignity and health.
