Guided by humanist values, Hivos collaborates with civil society organizations to promote just, inclusive, and sustainable societies. Their work focuses on three main impact areas:
Climate Justice: Advocating for equitable and rights-based climate action.
Civic Rights in a Digital Age: Protecting civic freedoms and fostering inclusive public discourse in digital spaces.
