2013 Annual Report

www.fondazionebuonpastore.org

2013 was our most successful year yet. We contributed to, initiated and/or developed 24 projects across 15 countries. This work benefitted 353,007 people, primarily the poorest and most vulnerable in their communities. Despite the economic uncertainty, the funding approved to support Good Shepherd projects more than doubled from 2012 to over 2 million Euro.

In 2014, we have entered a new phase. We will leverage the results of the hard work done by Good Shepherd communities in, for example, Bolivia, Congo, Burkina Faso, and Lebanon to develop accurate research and prepare long-term strategic plans. This new data-rich approach is vital for funding opportunities in the future, in our opinion. Already it has enabled us to secure new funding from one major donor.

In order to extend such positive results to other Good Shepherd programs, we have approved a Strategic Plan covering 2014-2017 entitled “Our Shared Journey of Transformation.” It commits our staff and partners to invest more time and resources in developing tools for training and planning.

As part of this process of empowerment of Good Shepherd partners, energy and time have been addressed to support organizational development processes initiated by some of our partners in Angola, Lebanon and Latin America and we will encourage other programs to initiate a similar process, especially in those countries that have been marginalized the most in the globalization process due to conflicts and geo-political isolation (Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Nepal). To that end, the Foundation opened mission development offices in Angola and in Bolivia; the third and fourth MDOs following Rome and Beirut.

The key projects we supported in 2013 are adopting a holistic approach to tackle the root causes of poverty. We believe we can affect change through the support of local groups in lobbying governments for the protection of human rights and access to basic social services by empowering women and children and encouraging community cohesion. This approach implements in practice the position taken by the Good Shepherd sisters and its partners at the UN Economic and Social Commission and within the “Global Conversation” on how to shape future policies and agendas of NGOs and Governments after 2015, when the UN Millennium Development Goals expire.

With a renewed attention to monitoring the results of our programs, we wish to positively contribute to this global debate by giving voice to those women and children living in fragile states and in deprived communities which suffer the most from the unresolved plague of poverty and entrenched inequality. While our journey continues, we invite all our partners to keep supporting our efforts. Peace,Sr. Eliene Barros, Executive Director Cristina Duranti, Director
