Membership

Through Dóchas, Irish Development NGOs and others come together to share their experiences, and to use those experiences to advance more effective ways to end all forms of poverty and injustice.

Our Shared Values

Dóchas is defined by the relationships between its members. These are based on mutual interest and shared commitments to human rights, justice and the eradication of poverty, and are constantly intensified through the Dóchas network.  Our overarching ethos can be broken down into fives values to which we subscribe and that inform how we behave:

Collaboration – We operate collectively, and leverage the value of working together as a network. Our collaborations are based on mutual trust, respect and reciprocity. 

Learning - We are curious and keen to learn, and are committed to active, joint learning and exchange. 

New ideas - We recognise the value in generating new ideas and ways of thinking. We will embrace opportunities to experiment and innovate, and create space for reflection. 

Courageous leadership - We will inspire, engage and mobilise others behind issues we work to address.

Agility - We will be responsive, opportunistic and willing to adapt to changing circumstances.
