Pact
Statement of Purpose Pact’s mission is to help build strong communities globally that provide people with an opportunity to earn a dignified living, raise healthy families, and participate in democratic life. Pact achieves this by strengthening the capacity of grassroots organizations, coalitions and networks, and by forging linkages among government, business and the citizen sectors to achieve social, economic and environmental justice. 
Programs & Activities
Pact’s program
Pact operates large multi-year programs that strengthen NGOs, networks and coalitions working in advocacy, basic education, conflict resolution, democracy and governance, food security, HIV/AIDS and orphans, literacy, microfinance, natural resource management, and rural economic development and information communications technology (ICT). In addition Pact provides organizational capacity building services to organizations, governments and corporations. These services include organizational capacity assessment, financial management, corporate-community engagement, information knowledge management, AIDS Corps and Pact Publications.
Organizational capacity assessment (OCA)
Pact’s participatory OCA services assist organizations to recognize their full potential through an interactive inquiry process that includes tool design, guided self-assessment and action planning.
Financial Management Services (FMS)
Pact’s Financial Management Services provide participatory assessments, training and technical assistance to help nonprofit organizations develop business strategies to maximize financial capacity and meet long-term institutional needs.

Pact assists corporations to make sound social investment decisions, identify the best local community partners, and engage with stakeholders to determine and implement mutual interests that contribute to sustainable development.
Information and Knowledge Networking (IKN)
Pact's IKN services create dynamic organizational networks and communities of practice that connect people for learning. IKN blends interpersonal exchange with information technology to improve knowledge sharing and organizational impact.
