Our Values

Our Vision is to build a world where even the most marginalized individuals and communities can benefit from the opportunities afforded by secure land and resource rights.

We are working to build a world where even the most marginalized individuals and communities can benefit from the opportunities afforded by secure land and natural resource rights.

We do this by democratizing access to innovative tools so that individuals, communities, organizations, and governments, even in the most remote locations, can document their rights to land and natural resources. Our values, which we carry with us in all of our relationships and activities, are designed to support this goal.

Transparency

At Cadasta, our culture is built on transparency. We share knowledge freely and facilitate teaching, learning, and the open exchange of ideas. Our engagement objectives and our desired outcomes are clear, transparent, and communicated freely with all partners.

Mission-Driven

Our work is guided by our belief in the potential of Cadasta to positively impact millions of people’s lives through innovative tools and approaches to documenting land and natural resources rights.

Collaboration

Collaboration at Cadasta isn’t just about working together towards shared goals. Our engagement activities and mechanisms promote collaboration as a means of developing and implementing more scalable and sustainable outcomes for beneficiaries.

Equality

We strive to empower all members of society with tools, methodologies, and knowledge to make data-driven decisions to document and assert their land and resource rights.

Inclusion

All of Cadasta’s work promotes inclusiveness and participation, even and especially among the most marginalized groups, including women. This is the foundational spirit of who we are and how we function as a team and as individuals.
