Development - Gimpacs

01 / Why it matters

Development is what makes gains last.

Development sits at the centre of the humanitarian–development–peacebuilding nexus. GIMPACS works with communities and local structures to improve the conditions that allow health, education, livelihoods, and essential services to continue beyond the emergency response.

Community priorities shape the starting point.
Local partners participate in planning and delivery.
Results are tracked beyond a single activity.

02 / Investment areas

Where we invest for the long term.

Four connected areas help communities move from recovery toward opportunity and self-reliance.

Community-Led Development Planning

Working with community structures to identify priorities, sequence action, and keep local leadership at the centre of decision-making.

Local Economic Growth

Supporting small enterprise, cooperatives, skills, and market linkages that help income circulate within local communities.

Infrastructure & Service Access

Improving access to the water points, facilities, roads, and public services people rely on in daily life.

Institutional Reform Support

Working alongside local authorities on practical process improvements that make services more reliable and responsive.

03 / How we work

Listen. Co-design. Implement. Track.

Our development cycle turns community knowledge into practical action and shared accountability.

Listen

Understand how people experience services, opportunity, and barriers to progress.

Co-design

Agree priorities with community structures, local government, and partners.

Implement

Deliver with local ownership so skills, systems, and confidence grow together.

Track

Measure outcomes, learn from evidence, and adjust as conditions change.

04 / In practice

Development is shared work.

Strong partnerships connect local knowledge with technical support, evidence, and resources.
