What we do

OUR VISSION

HEFO envisions a peaceful and democratic world in which all forms of poverty and social inequalities are gradually and progressively enhanced, and targets are realized in the medium and long-term by mitigating coastal and rural poverty and its underlying causes to attend to and adequately address through adoption of comprehensive and integrated policies and strategies.

OUR MISSION

HEFO mission is to promote all forms of economic activities, social and political processes that could foster economic growth, poverty reduction and equitable social development in coastal and rural communities.
