Action lines:

Mimeta has a strategy of clear limitations, but a broad area of interventions. Mimeta is not limited in geographically scope, still we give priority to countries where we have the best monitoring possibilities. We have a small staff, but are getting administrative backing from Stromme Foundations regional offices, from associate organisations and local consultutants.
