Vision: A world in which people facing difficult events gain lasting impact from the aid their receive; Where actors in the aid sector work together, building on their comparative strengths and mandates to implement humanitarian and development programmes; where aid addresses underlying causes and governance challenges.    
Mission: Enable public institutions, civil society and private sector to address new challenges, take informed and evidence-based decisions, by strengthening the capacity of their human capital and systems.   
Approach:  We believe in inclusive participation and knowledge sharing among all actors. In partnership with our clients, R&T aims to address the factors that risk fuelling and exacerbating conflict situations, through prevention, conflict-sensitive analysis and programming.   
Modus Operandi:
Committed to the locally led humanitarian aid framework: Roots&Transition advocates for a system where aid is locally led and owned mechanism which needs a critical shift from a delivery contract to a truly partnership agreement with civil society organisations.
Supporting the humanitarian-development-peace (HDP) or ‘triple nexus’ approach:Roots&Transition adheres to the triple nexus approach and philosophy developed by the OECD DAC framework that prioritises ‘prevention always, development wherever possible, humanitarian action when necessary’.
