FIPA's Core Values

Maintaining a Strong Vision 

Transformational leadership requires the maintenance of a strong, compelling vision, integrating current reality with the best that the future is able to offer.  To realize our vision, we continually strengthen our learning organization to (a) remain updated on salient evidence-based research that informs our areas of focus (b) refine our strategies and processes, (c) reflect deeply on our successes and challenges, and (d) promote healthy collaboration among the members of our leadership teams. 

 

Building Bridges  

By building bridges, we positively change lives. To develop the level of participation required to achieve our goals, we demonstrate a keen awareness of multicultural dynamics that operate within the region, respecting the values, customs and traditions of diverse groups. 

 

Practicing Accountability and Responsibility

 We hold ourselves to high organizational standards and seek to ensure that our financial information and operational processes meet integrity standards. We also organize resources in a manner that minimizes waste, thus adhering to a key tenet of sustainable development. 

 

Creating Partnerships 

We seek and treasure partnerships that help us to achieve our goals. We also develop partnerships beyond regional borders, recognizing that many of the issues experienced in the region are present around the globe, and can guide our strategies.

 

Monitoring and Evaluation 

We monitor and evaluate our projects continually to (a) ensure that we are providing the best information and education, (b) update our stakeholders on the progress of our projects and (c) support our internal planning activities. We also strongly promote and encourage participatory monitoring and evaluation.

FIPA'S MANDATE

FIPA, a non-partisan organization, acts as a catalyst for wellbeing and positive change and wellbeing through the promotion of higher levels of understanding in three areas:

​

(1) Education and Culture

​

(2) Industry and Commerce

​

(3) Science and Technology

Through our mandate, we promote the ability to separate or amalgamate different kinds of thinking as a situation or context requires.  This is not limited to the understanding of logical fallacies, a high degree of self-awareness, a basic knowledge of how the brain works, how society works, and historical, financial and scientific literacy.

​

We Build Trust and Credibility by:

 

  1. adhering to our professional commitments

  2. keeping abreast of major social and technological changes.

  3. demonstrating our dependability

  4. engaging in thoughtful conversations when addressing complex issues. 

  5. committing to our own lifelong learning so that we continually hone our professional relevance and durability.

  6. practicing confidentiality except in cases of physical child abuse.

  7. adhering to non-discrimination policies.

  8. not harassing clients or engaging in any offensive behaviour or language.

This code of ethics is Angela Ramsay's personal professional ethics which she has loaned to FIPA.
