approach

PERSPACTIVE AIMS TO CREATE JOBS FOR LARGE NUMBERS OF YOUTHS IN A COST-EFFICIENT WAY. FOR THIS REASON WE DESIGN PROGRAMS ACCORDING TO THE FOLLOWING PRINCIPLES:

1. THINKING IN SCALE
As large numbers of young people are entering the labour market, there is a need for programs that reach scale in a cost-efficient way. PerspActive designs and uses intervention methods that realize an exponential growth of created jobs.

2. PROPOSITION THINKING
To realize scalable impact PerspActive designs propositions that bring about system change and address issues in an integrated way. Our philosophy is to be pro-active and solution-driven. PerspActive realizes its propositions through developing proposals for matching fund opportunities, but always keeps sight of the bigger picture.

3. CONSORTIUM THINKING
Propositions that realize scalable impact require significant capacity and expertise. As PerspActive's members are not able to deliver all of these, propositions are implemented by means of consortia with strong partners, each playing its unique role and brining in its unique assets.

4. CROSS-SECTORAL THINKING
The capacity and expertise required to implement integrated, scalable propositions exceeds the capacity, knowledge and sphere of influence of NGOs. Therefore, PerspActive builds cross-sectoral consortia that consist of parties from different sectors. We realize that lasting and systematic changes, embedded in the local context, can only be realized through the common effort of these different stakeholders. PerspActive connects and aligns the interventions of youth, governments and the private sector in an integrated way and by means of proven and innovative solutions.
