Policies & Values

CATHCA’s operations are underpinned by a strong suite of policies on governance, finance, human resources, safeguarding, and risk management—each aligned with national legislation and international best practice. The organisation’s 2026–2030 Strategy reinforces this framework, ensuring that every action is mission-driven, rights-based, and responsive to emerging health challenges.

Staff recruitment prioritises not only technical expertise, but also lived experience and a deep commitment to advancing health equity. Grounded in the values of Catholic Social Teaching—human dignity, solidarity, subsidiarity, stewardship, and a preferential option for the poor—CATHCA’s governance model fuses ethical leadership with legal compliance.

This blend of structure and values enables CATHCA to deliver projects with agility, partner effectively with government and donors, and stay meaningfully connected to the communities it serves.
