The unique eco-solutions of the organisation largely employ integrated approaches that take care of socio-economic concerns and are environmentally resource-efficient. They include the use of low carbon and renewable, decentralised, gender inclusive participatory patterns of growth and resource management.

DA has constantly evolved and demonstrated eco-solutions based on the three pillars of sustainability – Clean Environment, Income Generation and Empowered Communities.

In line with the main matters of the organisation, we focus on environmental concerns at all geographical scales, from the local village/households to the national and global scale and furthermore at all levels of projects, programmes and policies. The emphasis is on all spheres of environmental systems and influence, the rural, urban, industrial, pristine eco-systems, as well as the global climatic spheres.

DA’s thematic focus is to design and demonstrate Low Carbon Pathways for development through Natural Resource Management-Models and Climate Technology Solutions (e.g. Waste to Wealth). We design and facilitate multi-stakeholder action for securing basic needs, such as Habitat, Water, Energy, Information and Livelihoods (Green Jobs).
