Architecture and Construction

Almost Five decades ago, ZOA was initiated as a true ‘civil society’ initiative. In 1973, a group of Christian students took a stand and organised support for refugees in Indo-China.[1] The 1970s were a time when large groups of people in Dutch society became involved in voicing political protest but the founders of the organisation took their voice one step further and emphasized the importance of responding in concrete and tangible ways. Their initiative became the starting point for the current organisation known as ZOA, and their original motivation remains today. ZOA has always emphasised the need to translate compassion and concern about the lives and circumstances of the displaced into concrete action. Over the years, ZOA has grown from a small organisation, with limited capacity for practical support in only a few countries, to a professional organisation that runs high quality, integrated programmes for people affected by conflict or disaster in 10 to 15 African and Asian countries. In addition to receiving private support and funding from the Netherlands, ZOA has a variety of institutional donors and partners around the world. What has remained throughout its development is ZOA’s commitment and determination to contribute to bringing real, tangible, and sustainable change to the lives of people affected by conflict and disaster. Thus, the organisation serves as a means by which thousands of people in Dutch society can contribute to bringing hope to people in despair in a way that is compliant with contemporary professional standards for relief and development. As such, ZOA has remained a ‘civil society’ organisation with strong roots in Dutch society, particularly among Christians. We maintain a strong connection with our constituency through networks of schools, churches, businesses, private donors, and volunteers. At the same time, ZOA has developed into a reliable and effective partner to a variety of institutional actors in the Netherlands, Europe, and beyond. What has also remained is the Christian inspiration. At ZOA, we are motivated by the biblical message of reconciliation and restoration for a broken world. We believe that Christian organisations like ZOA have a specific responsibility to contribute to bringing hope for the benefit of all people, particularly those in vulnerable positions. The gospel of Jesus Christ calls us to pursue and promote justice and to support people in situations of suffering and injustice, irrespective of their race, ethnicity, religion, or gender.ZOA’s visionWe envision a world where people have hope and live dignified lives in peaceful communities. Longing for true and lasting peace is part of our faith, but we also believe that God calls us today to contribute to peace, reconciliation and hope in a broken world.ZOA MissionWe contribute to relief and recovery together with people affected by armed conflict or natural disasters. The context in which we operate is often characterized by a combination of state fragility, conflict and climate-related disaster. We strive to be in areas where our added value in addressing these factors is greatest and seek to reach out to the most vulnerable. We help them rebuild their livelihoods and become more resilient in coping with shocks and threats. Our dual mandate includes relief and recovery. In both we seek to collaborate with local organisations as often as possible, acknowledging local ownership and supporting local capacity. Once the context becomes more stable and programmes become more development-oriented by nature, ZOA will phase out and shift its attention to other crises.ZOA’s ValuesZOA seeks to ensure that its values drive the organizational culture and bring greater consistency in the way programmes and activities are implemented. In that sense, the values reflect the core behaviour we expect from our staff.Therefore, our value commitments are:1. We value peopleAll people are made in God’s image, and we therefore place people at the center of our work. We treat people with respect and dignity, irrespective of ethnicity, gender, religion, or age. We seek to enable people to live normal and peaceful lives, develop their potential, and to provide hope for the future.2. We are faithfulWe want to bring lasting change and are committed to staying when the initial crisis is over. Even when local circumstances are challenging, we seek to reach out to the most vulnerable. We recognize the role and capacity of local actors and seek to collaborate with them. Being aware of our temporary role and presence, we are committed to investing in strengthening local civil society.3. We are good stewardsWe utilize the resources entrusted to us in the best possible and most responsible way. We are efficient, effective, transparent and accountable to those we support and those who support us. We are committed to contributing to environmental sustainability and we encourage the people we serve to do the same.4. We serve with integrityWe hold ourselves to the highest standards of personal and organizational integrity. We are open and honest in the way we deal and communicate with our stakeholders. We treat people with respect and speak the truth in love to one another. &nbsp;[1] The acronym ZOA stands for the Dutch words “Zuid Oost Azie” (South East Asia), referring to the area where ZOA originally started working.

<ol><li>Focus of the call&nbsp;ET-RRM project is a rapid response project that started implementation on November 1, 2024, in Ethiopia to respond to acute onset emergencies nation-wide.
