Mission:
While ANAI takes pride in being a "muddy boots" organization in intimate contact with the people and the land, we have no pretension of being a "grassroots" organization ourselves. Rather, we are an intermediary organization, seeking to nurture locally based transformational processes leading to self- sufficient local ("grassroots") organizations focusing on the achievement of sustainability.
Examples of activities that we have helped local organizations learn to manage, instead of doing it ourselves include marketing of agricultural products, forest management and marketing of forest products, ecotourism, and running the regional training center. The result is stronger local organizations. They not only have a degree of economic self- sufficiency, but equally important, they are learning to carry out projects and run a business. They also have an increasing stake in the success of their sustainable development and conservation activities, making success more likely.
