Diversity is about greatness
• “Never, never and never again
shall it be that this beautiful
land will again experience the
oppression of one by another.“
Mandela 1994
• "When I have control over native
education, I will reform it so that
natives will be taught from
childhood that equality with
Europeans is not for them"
H.F. Verwoed, 1953, Minister of
Native Affairs.
• "We should not give the Natives
any academic education. If we do,
who is going to do the manual
labour in the community?"
J.N.le Roux, 1945, National Party
politician.

• Eliminate unfair practices – race, gender, class
• Empower people – diversity competencies
• Create opportunity for ownership
In Zuid-Afrika ondersteunt Niza verschillende
partners om toezicht te houden op de
platinawinning. Dit is nodig omdat de
platinamijnbouw ernstige gevolgen heeft voor
gemeenschappen die in de buurt van de mijnen
wonen. Niza pleit voor betere regelgeving en
komt op voor de belangen van lokale bewoners
• Our vision
A world without poverty and
injustice in which every person
enjoys their right to a life with
dignity.
• Our mission
To work with poor and
excluded people to eradicate
poverty and injustice.
ActionAid is an international anti-
poverty agency whose aim is to fight
poverty worldwide. Formed in 1972, for
over 30 years we have been growing
and expanding to where we are today -
helping over 13 million of the world's
poorest and most disadvantaged people
in over 50 countries worldwide.
AAI Values
• MUTUAL RESPECT,
• requiring us to recognise the innate worth of
all people and the value of diversity
• EQUITY AND JUSTICE,
• requiring us to work to ensure equal
opportunity to everyone, irrespective of race,
age, gender,
sexual orientation, HIV status, colour, class,
ethnicity, disability, location and religion
• HONESTY AND TRANSPARENCY, being
accountable at all levels for the
effectiveness of our actions and open in our
judgements and communications with others
• SOLIDARITY WITH THE POOR,
• powerless and excluded will be the only bias
in our commitment to the fight against
poverty
• COURAGE OF CONVICTION,
• requiring us to be creative and radical, bold
and innovative – without fear of failure – in
pursuit of making the greatest possible
impact on the causes of poverty
• INDEPENDENCE from any religious or
party-political affiliation
• HUMILITY in our presentation and
behaviour, recognising that we are part of a
wider alliance against poverty.
Diversity Leadership in Organisations - How ?
• Multicultural Leadership Competencies
• Respect and dignity for all
• Commitment to corporate governance
• Communications styles
