Values
Our values embody our deepest beliefs and our highest aspirations.
They drive and inform our culture. They answer the questions: What does Counterpart International believe? What matters most to us? What will we stay true to? They reflect what the organization does and does not want to become—they are rock-solid, enduring and non-negotiable.
Counterpart International’s values are a reflection of how we work as individuals, as an organization, and as partners with external stakeholders. We hold ourselves, and each other, accountable to practicing our core values on each of these levels and we seek partners that share similar values.

Respect for People, Their Communities, and the World We Share
We believe mutual respect is essential to every relationship. We recognize that every person and community has individual worth and infinite potential. We empower one another to take responsibility for our work, lives, and future and we support our partners across the world to do the same.
