We also recognise that even in the midst of crisis the destitute have a contribution to make. We are responsive in a different sense where deep seated and often complex economic and social deprivation calls for sustainable, long-term development. The World Vision Partnership World Vision functions as a partnership of interdependent national entities, which have their own boards or advisory councils to oversee their operations. A common mission statement and shared core values bind the Partnership. By signing the Covenant of Partnership, each partner agrees to abide by common policies and standards.
Partners hold each other accountable through an ongoing system of peer review.
The Partnership Offices, located in Geneva, Bangkok, Nairobi, Vienna, Los Angeles, Melbourne, and San Jose, co-ordinate the strategic and global operations of the organisation and represent World Vision in the international arena. Each national office, regardless of how big its programmes are, enjoys equal voice in the Partnership, erasing the usual distinctions between the developed and developing world.
