LEGACY

Praxis had a humble beginning as an initiative of Action Aid in 1992. Since then, we have worked with a number of development workers, organisations, networks, campaigns and movements to emerge as a facilitator of participatory practices. In 1997, Praxis – Institute for Participatory Practices was formally registered as an autonomous non-profit organisation under the Societies Act 1860.

IDENTITY

Praxis is a knowledge organisation that plays a role in influencing equity- and governance-related policies through participation and ensuring every individual has access to a life of dignity and choices. Our aim is facilitating participation towards democratisation of development processes and results that will pave the way for an equitable society.

VISION

At Praxis, we see a world without poverty in which every person has the right to participate in decision-making processes and to live a life of dignity and choices. 

MISSION

Our mission is to strive for the democratisation of development processes and institutions in order to ensure that the voices of the poor are heard and acted upon.
