Goals / Remit
Our vision is a life for all human beings free to live up to their fullest potential, and free from harm caused by alcohol and other drugs. It’s a world of peace, democracy and justice where free and healthy citizens actively contribute in all levels of society.
We work for providing opportunities and environments for all people to thrive and live up to their full potential.
Creating Social Goods
IOGT International, together with its global network of Member Organizations, works to prevent, reduce and curb all aspects of harm caused by alcohol and other drugs. Often alcohol and other drugs are obstacles to health and well-being, sustainable development, economic productivity and prosperity, and the enjoyment of Human Rights.
4 Principles
IOGT International's work towards achieving change, is guided by four basic principles.
1) Harnessing Potential
- Develop life skills, critical thinking and self-esteem.
- Enable literacy about corporate consumerism.
- Empower children and youth to form their own lifestyle choices.
- Build capacities to be active citizens.
- Provide safe, enabling and creative environments where people of all ages, and especially children and youth can live up to their full potential.
2) Support Families
- Provide help and support for children of addicted parents.
- Educate parents in crucial issues of youth culture, increasing their understanding for children and young people.
- Provide help and service to women and children who suffer from alcohol-related violence.
- Empower women to take charge of their own and their family’s fortune, to believe in their capacities.
3) Strengthen Communities
- Run grass-roots projects in urban and in rural areas where alcohol and other drugs are major problems.
- Campaign for more environments free from alcohol and other drugs, so that children and young people also have access to public resources, to nightlife and to meaningful leisure time activities.
- Advocate for evidence-based, cost-effective and high-impact policy solutions.
- Conduct prevention programs that protect children and youth, and reconcile different groups in conflict areas.
4) Develop Societies
- Promote well-being of citizens, economic prosperity and democracy through alcohol and narcotic drugs policy advocacy.
- Campaign for population responses to alcohol-related epidemics of infectious diseases such as tuberculosis and HIV/ AIDS, NCDs, and gender-based violence.
- Empower and enable civil society to engage with and contribute to political processes that do impact their livelihoods.Main EU files targeted
