Following are the issues and our activities that involve Sustainability.

Sustainability is core to the effectiveness of the community development work we do and is also central to the way we continue to exist as an organisation.

While other theme sections cover our sustainability work in terms of community and environment, here we focus on CUFA as an organisation; and on our core goals of poverty reduction and credit union relationships with their communities.

To ensure we have the fundraising capacity to meet the development needs of communities in the Asia Pacific region, we need to remain relevant to existing stakeholders, and visible to new audiences - with diverse and mutually beneficial fundraising programs. In addition to our traditional and loyal credit union supporters, the following activities are examples of our evolving engagement and fundraising portfolio:

Each program aims to increase awareness of and engagement in development, as well as being valuable sources of funding for CUFA programs.

We also need to ensure our development goals effect poverty relief and strengthen relationships between credit unions and their communities. A strategy to identify those most in need in the areas where we deliver development programs, and then evaluate and measure impacts and progress, is now being designed and will be implemented in each development program soon.
