Where We Work

In order to ensure the success of our interventions, FVAI is engaged in projects that respond to very specific criteria:

  • Impact: FVAI’s interventions must have a tangible impact. Therefore, we prefer targeting small communities with less than 20 000 inhabitants.
  • Sustainability: In order to ensure the continuity of its actions, FVAI will be working with its local partners on a recurring basis.  A unique or one-time intervention rarely leaves a lasting impact.
  • Local Partnership: FVAI always works conjointly with a local and well structured non-governmental organization that shares the same vision, and is active in the community year round. At all times FVAI must have the consent of local veterinarians, and as much as possible works in close collaboration with them.
  • Safety and security: FVAI works in safe, peaceful, and politically stable countries.
