Case work is the cornerstone of FIAN’s mission and identity. We support communities in close to 30 countries around the world resisting violations of the right to food and nutrition (RtFN) and related human rights.
The main objective of case work is to document, analyze and make visible violations of the RtFN.
We work with community and people’s mobilization, a process of strengthening the agency of individuals, communities and grassroots organizations to raise their voices and claim their rights through actions of resistance and non-violent protests. This helps to enhance their strategies to hold state actors accountable and contributes to mobilizing support.
Our case work methodology involves co-designing and co-planning case related actions with affected people, using participatory action research and other transformative methods. This methodology guides the work of all 19 FIAN national Sections around the world and is a dynamic tool that we seek to improve and update through collaborative learning and engagement.
