Our approach
All Spread interventions are guided by these four principles :
Execution of excellence
For each Spread project there is a team of high-quality specialists who ensure execution is seamless for all people involved.
Inclusion
In all Spread projects, where possible, we will integrate people from the community into our solutions and approach.
Sharing knowledge
Spread has a network of professionals willing to share their knowledge so anyone can learn and return that knowledge to their organizations and communities.
Transparency and visibility
All Spread projects are measured for their social, environmental and financial impacts to ensure transparency and visibility of our progress against our defined goals.
Our execution
All Spread interventions are performed by professionals of excellence and for each intervention, we act as follows:
1. Planning
1.1.
Select the project
We travel the country to find organizations that are already working to improve the lives of those in fragile situations.
Survey of opportunities
We make an assessment of the potential causes of the problem to structure the approach to be taken.
We seek worldwide solutions, with proven results in similar situations, and learn to adapt these solutions to the problem at hand.
We select the intervention team
We seek to find the best transformation agents who have the skills and knowledge to execute the planned intervention.
