MISSION STATEMENT
ADRA Works with people in poverty and distress to create just and positive change through empowering partnerships and responsible action.

VISION STATEMENT
ADRA is a professional, learning and efficient network that embodies integrity and transparency. ADRA reaches across boundaries empowering and speaking out for the at-risk and forgotten to achieve measurable, documented and durable changes in lives and society.

As an agency engaged in the development industry we grapple with many of the same challenges as our peers - human resource capacity, organisational efficacy, project finance cycle, learning, and change. We are committed to practicing the best development we can... we are our harshest critic. We have effective and transparent systems, procedures and communication. We resource learning and commit to implementing its advice, we value the benefits of partnership, we are committed to the development of our staff and project partners. - Grant Hillier Country Director, ADRA Lao PDR
