"Our hope is that CIFF's journey will be useful for all
who aim to make development more impactful."

At CIFF, we strive to combine three sets of behaviours in our culture each of which is necessary to achieve our mission of impact for children.

• Rigour, transparency and facts: the drive to find and be guided by robust evidence and analysis.
• Problem-solving and overcoming barriers: the ability to find a route to deliver results and outcomes.
• Learning, reflection and adaptability: a constant striving to improve, both individually and collectively.

We look for these three sets of behaviours in all of our staff and in how we run ourselves as a team. They guide how we recruit, how we integrate and how we develop our people. And, unlike many charities, we provide incentives and rewards to our team for outstanding results.
